It’s finished! Finally! It took me 14 days to make this baby blanket. A lot of time. Of course I didn’t crochet all day long, but still… My plan was to make 8 squares a day, and I stuck to the plan, but It took me more time then I expected to join them and make a border.
A border… It’s a long story… I spent hours on Pinterest, in search of perfect border, and found some really pretty edges, but it seemed that no one wasn’t suitable for this blanket. Then I decided to make the same border I made on my Primavera flowers pillow, but I wasn’t happy with how it looked on the blanket. Something wasn’t quite right. Then, I made a little change, added two rows before those bobbles, looked at it, and knew it was the perfect edge for my blanket. Then, it took me ages to finish the border…
I used 100% cotton yarn 125m / 50 gr from St. George. This time I used yarn called “Golf” (except for yellow and pink – they’re “Tango”, also from St. George) “Golf” is a little softer and silkier then “Tango”, and I love that.
The blanket is composed of 80 squares just like my Teddy bear baby blanket (8 x 10) and it measures 86 x 70 cm. I joined squares with single crochet.
I’m willing to make free tutorial for this Primavera flowers square, so if you’d like me to do that, please let me know in the comments.
The Primavera flowers square tutorial is now availabe, click here to check it out.
This is so lovely – I would love to make a blanket like this! Are you still willing to post the pattern for the Primavera flowers square? I've made many flowers before but I'm not sure how you achieve the raised texture of the inner flower rows. You do beautiful work 🙂

You certainly did chose the write edging, it is quite difficult to chose a complimentary border after all that hard work on the blanket. Yours is stunning x
Fabulous! Would love to see the tutorial 🙂

Absolutely beautiful! I especially love the way the squares all in one colour are almost like shadows of the ones with coloured flowers – each sets the other off beautifully. Yes, please to the tutorial! I've just finished a bag based on your one – in different colours but similar construction. I've linked back to you in my post on it – thank you so much for the inspiration. E x

Your blanket is georgerous!! I love, love the colours, the pattern and – of course- the edge!!

Eri
Lovely blanket in beautiful spring colours. I like your work and hope you make a pattern of it. When I'll make the blanket myself it will cost me only a lot more time than you used. That doesn't matter for the result will be beautiful.
Love, Margaret

Absolutely! Already started the squares but would love to have direction on your border. Beautiful blanket.
This is so beautiful! I would love to see a tutorial on this pattern. I have 7 grand-daughters and this would be a wonderful pattern to make for them.
Such a beautiful blanket. A tutorial would be wonderful!
The flower square is gorgeous and I love the edging !! My little 5yr old granddaughter has me making her a blanket right now – and I regularly get Skyped from the UK [She is in Scotland and I live in Portugal] with 'requests' … like … " I think I'd like a rabbit, a cat, a dog … and a flower, please nanny … " It's getting quite big with all these suggestions !! lol!! I am almost at the stage of joining up though .. and have been wondering too about a border – your's looks good … and I think it will go well with my blanket too … we'll have to see though !! Thank you for sharing !
It's a beautiful blanket! I'd love to crochet one myself. How much yarn did you use? And what needle size?
Thank you for your tutorial!
I love your blanket. I just finished making my 3rd square following your tutorial. It was very easy to follow. Thank you!

Hi Dragana, amazing blanket! how did you join squares? You've said single crochet, but how did you get this 3D effect? Could you please explain me? 🙂 thanx so much!

BellÃsima!!!
You make lovely things! Is there any chance of getting a patern/tutorial for the border of this blanket?
I absolutely love the blanket and pillow. Please make a tutorial!!!! And is there a site for tbe yarn?
Just adore this baby blanket pattern! I love the pastel colors in cotton yarn and how you put them together.
I also like the way you joined them and the border too. I wish you'd make a tutorial showing how you joined them and made the border, it is so appealing and you have such a gift for designing things. Thank you so much!!!!
Absolutely wonderful work!!! Could you please give a tutorial on the blanket border ASAP.. My baby arrives in one month and I'm very keen to finish it before the arrival! Thank you so much!!
This blanket is beautiful I would so love a tutorial.
How much yarn did you use for your blanket please? I am finally going to make it!
I am so in love with this blanket!! I made a similar one 9 years ago and had lost the pattern, I have searched all over and your beautiful blanket is the closest match I have found!!! I am so happy, can I please ask how many colored of each square and how many solids and I would love the pattern to your edging, I will even pay you if you want to write it up as a blanket pattern (that's how desperate I am to make this beautiful blanket). Thank you so much for your beautiful work.
Hi There….I saw this and would really like to try it….found your instructions and am ready to buy the yarn, but found out the St. George "Golf" yarn has been discontinued. Can you recommend another appropriate brand/kind of yarn that I could use? Thank you!
Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful pattern. I'm almost finished all of my squares for a single bed size afghan. Do you have a tutorial or pattern for your gorgeous edging? I'd love to border mine the very same way. Thank you!
Hello! I love this pattern and have purchased yarn to make one as well, but I don't know if I've gotten enough! Could you tell me how many skeins you used for the blanket? Thank you!

This is lovely. What brand of cotton yarn did you use? I would love to make this for my mother-in-law. I would appreciate pattern and/ or tutorial.
Thank you! I used 100% cotton yarn “Golf” 125m/50 gr from St. George. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I didn’t write down the pattern for the whole blanket, only for the Primavera granny square.
Awesome

I not seeing the total yardage for each color, Especially then cream for border. Fairly new to crocheting so I don’t want to mess up how much to buy.
This is beautiful
Thanks Cindy!
Such a beautiful blanket! I couldn’t find how much yarn is needed. Could you tell me?
Thank you sandy! I’m glad you like it! Unfortunately, I don’t know how much yarn I spent.
Hi. I purchased this pattern several years ago but it did not have a pattern for the border so I made my own. Is your pattern now updated with this border? It is beautiful.
I never sold the pattern. The pattern was always free on my blog, and in the meantime I added the tutorial for the joining and the border as well. You can find it here: https://www.dadasplace.com/2017/11/free-primavera-flower-blanket-joining-and-border-tutorial.html
Such detailed and accurate instruction with illustration..
Makes it soo very easy to follow..
Bless you dear ??
This is such a beautiful blanket and I am going to attempt to make it for a new addition to our family.
Please can you give me an indication as to how many balls of the cream colour was used??
Thank you for your beautiful patterns
Thank you Carolyn for your kind words! I’m glad you like it! Unfortunately, I don’t know how much yarn I used, so I can’t tell you.
Do you have a printable pdf for this pattern please?
Unfortunately, I don’t.
I love this blanket
Thank you sooooo much
I just finished the ending but have problems with the last two rows and bubbles
Can you please explain me how you made the bubbles and the row before them
I just love it how you made it
My granddaughter will be born in March
I didn’t crochet since I’m 12 and it was like swimming
Thank you so much

Lovely blanket!!!!! How many grams do I have to buy for each color? Thanks a million!
Thanks! Sorry, but I did not take the evidence of how much yarn I used.
I made this for my niece’s baby. this is the most beautiful blanket and making it was such a joy, I loved the colors and the way it all went together and i was so proud to give her such a gift. This was truly the best i have ever made I think if it often. I love this pattern and look forward to making more of your patterns. you do such beautiful work. Thank you so much for allowing it to be free. I speak of your site anytime anyone wants to know how I made it.
Thank you so much Christina for your wonderful comment! You’ve made my day!
Hugs,
Dragana
I absolutely love this pattern! I am relatively new to crocheting, do you have any tips on how to increase the size of this pattern?
The simplest way to increase the size of the square is to repeat the last round as many time as you’d like.
