Hi Susan if you look at the label on the yarn you are using it will give you washing instructions 🙂
Butterflies and Puff Flowers are so simple…Thx for sharing
You’re very welcome 🙂
How do you put a border on a blanket like this?
Hi Leslie You can look at my video tutorial on how to turn the puff flower into a square which is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f90Y85OGkxM&t=1s If you have joined lots of puff flowers together to make one big blanket you can follow the same principles to work along them
Please help me understand how you get 10 stitches??I followed you, but it comes up with 11?first petal>
Chain 3(1)yo,(2) ins, yo(3),yo(4), ins, yo(5).
2nd st>Yo(1),ins into next st,yo(2),yo(3),yo(4),
Yo(5),ins, yo (6)?
Thank you for picking this up; you are right, you should have 11 loops on the hook before you yarn over and pull through them all. Sorry for any confusion and I will have this amended
Hi I am making a queen size blanket and would like to know about how many puff flowers I would have to make to get to a queen size blanket
Hi Victoria, this is a really difficult question to answer a it would depend on your personal tension, I would suggest that you do a swatch then work it out from there.

What a beautiful pattern! I would like to make a baby blanket. Can you pls tell me what colors you used in your tutorial and how many flowers I would need of each color for a baby blanket.
Thank you
I used Stylecraft Special DK in Lemon, Wisteria, Clematis, Fondant and Candy floss. The amount would depend on your own personal tension and how big you wanted it to be 🙂
