If you like all things spring, then you will love this flower crochet blanket stripe. Repeat this pattern as many times as you like to make a whole blanket. Or combine it with other crochet stripes to make a fresh and fun blanket that’s the perfect accent to your spring decor.

This free crochet flower blanket section alternates rows of front post double crochet stitches with the beautiful flower petal stitch. The result is highly textured and looks like tidy rows of little flowers.

Special Stitches

Flower Petal Stitch (FPS)

Basically working a Dc5Tog (Double Crochet 5 together) across 3 different “eyes” Work as follows:

Ch 3, yo, insert hook through 1st chain (the one furthest from hook [note: this is also called the “eye”]), yo and pull up a loop, yo and pull through 2 loops (counts as 1 “leg” of the Dc5Tog). Work the 2nd and 3rd legs of the Dc5Tog into the base of the dc, (*yo, insert hook into the base of the dc, yo and pull up a loop, yo and pull through 2 loops, repeat from *.) Skip 2 sts, in the next st work the 4th and 5th legs of the Dc5Tog, (work legs as explained) After making the 5th leg, there should be 6 loops on your hook, yo and pull through all 6 loops.

Note: Legs 2&3 and 4&5 or worked on top of the bpdc from the previous row.

Stacked Single Crochet (stsc)

Basically working a sc then another sc in the left leg of that 1st sc. It creates a nice alternative to a ch 2 or ch 3 at the beginning of a row. Work as follow:

Turn your work. Do not work any turning chs. Work one sc in 1st st. Insert your hook into the left leg (or right leg, for left-handed) of the sc, yo and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook), yo and pull through both loops.
