Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Crocheting the Blanket Base

  1. Create a Magic Ring:
    • Start with a magic ring or a chain circle (if you’re unfamiliar with the magic ring).
  2. Initial Stitches:
    • Chain 1 and make 12 double crochets (DCs) into the magic ring. Pull the loop tight and join with a slip stitch.
      Save
  3. Work Solomon’s Knots (Round 1):
    • Pull up the loop to about 1 inch.
    • Yarn over, pull through to create a triangle-shaped space. Insert the hook into the middle of the triangle, pull up a loop, and complete a single crochet (SC).
    • SC in the next stitch of the base.
    • Repeat this process to create a total of 12 Solomon’s Knots.
  4. Double Solomon’s Knots (Round 2):
    • Begin the Solomon’s Knot as described above, but after completing a single crochet, pull up another 1-inch loop and repeat the process.
    • Insert the hook into the single crochet of the previous round and complete another SC.
    • Repeat this process around the circle for double Solomon’s Knots.
      Save
  5. Ongoing Pattern:
    • Use only Solomon’s Knots unless the work begins to curl or fold like a hat.
    • If curling occurs, switch to double Solomon’s Knots for increased spacing.
  6. Continue Until Desired Size:
    • Repeat the process, ensuring the blanket lies flat as you go. Increase when necessary to prevent curling.

2. Adding the Flower Border

a. Creating the Flower Center
  1. Magic Ring:
    • Start by creating a magic ring directly onto the Solomon’s Knot border.
    • Locate the border stitch (with two top strands and one bottom strand) and position the magic ring.
  2. Single Crochets in the Ring:
    • Work 7 single crochets (SCs) into the magic ring and the top strand of a Solomon’s Knot.
  3. Single Crochets into Bottom Strand:
    • Work another 7 SCs into the magic ring and the bottom strand. Pull the loop tight and join with a slip stitch to complete the circle.

b. Making the Flower Petals (Layer 1)
  1. Switch to Petal Yarn Color:
    • Attach a new color for the petals, such as lavender.
    • Chain 2 and work a double crochet into the same stitch, then chain 2 and slip stitch.
  2. Repeat Around:
    • Into the next stitch, work a slip stitch, chain 2, and make a double crochet.
    • Create one double crochet followed by chain 2 and finish with another slip stitch.
    • Continue this sequence until you’ve created 7 petals in total.
      Save
c. Adding Second-Layer Petals (Optional)
  1. Work Behind the First Layer:
    • Slip stitch into the back of the first layer and chain 3.
    • Slip stitch into the remaining loop at the base of the next petal and chain 3 again.
  2. Continue Around:
    • Repeat the process to create 7 chain spaces behind the original petals.
  3. Create Larger Petals:
    • In each chain space, work as follows: slip stitch, chain 2, 3 double crochets, and chain 2.
    • Join the round with a slip stitch. The two layers of petals offer a beautiful, dual-tone look.

Level of Difficulty

Intermediate

  • Beginner-Friendly: The basic Solomon’s Knot and magic ring techniques are manageable for those with basic crochet experience.
  • Challenging: The Double Solomon’s Knot and adding the dual-layer flower petals require focus and precision, making this project slightly more advanced.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  1. Take Your Time with Solomon’s Knots:
    • Maintain consistent loop sizes for an even look. It’s okay if the length varies slightly; practice will help.
  2. Use Stitch Markers:
    • Place markers at the start of rounds to prevent confusion when counting stitches.
  3. Adjust for Curling:
    • If the blanket curls, switch to Double Solomon’s Knots to flatten the design.
  4. Experiment with Colors:
    • Britney encourages viewers to play with bright or pastel tones for a creative floral border.
  5. Keep Petals Secure:
    • Crochet over yarn tails to ensure the flowers are firmly attached to the blanket.

Uses

  1. Home Décor:
    • Perfect as a spring-inspired decorative throw for couches or beds.
  2. Baby Blanket:
    • The soft, lightweight design makes it ideal as a baby gift.
  3. Personalized Gift:
    • Add names or initials using flower colors to make it unique for recipients.
  4. Table Runner or Couch Cover:
    • Its floral border adds elegance, making it suitable for draping over furniture.

Tip

If your blanket starts to curl at any point, pull up the Solomon’s Knot loops slightly higher than usual. This extra slack helps reduce tightness and curling, ensuring a flat, smooth design.
