Crochet Daisy Granny Square Scrap-Yarn Patchwork Blanket Tutorial

Scrap-Yarn Patchwork Blanket

Use leftover yarn for varied backgrounds while keeping matching daisy centers.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Make a firm yellow center ring, then close it neatly so the middle stays flat.
2. Work small white petal clusters evenly around the center, keeping each petal the same height.
3. Add a soft green transition round to frame the flower before squaring the motif.
4. Create four corners with matching chain spaces so the motif becomes a clean square.
5. Work one or two border rounds in cream or pastel yarn until every square matches your target size.
6. Weave ends, steam lightly if your yarn allows it, and block the square flat before joining.
7. Keep the daisy centers consistent, then vary the background colors with leftover yarn.
8. Sort finished squares by size before joining so the blanket does not ripple.
9. Join in rows, then add a border that repeats one color from the daisy centers.
