But you can customize:

• For a larger bedspread, increase the repeats of your favorite flower motifs.

Simply divide your desired blanket size by the width of each flower square (29 cm / 11 inches) to calculate how many squares you’ll need across and down.

Your yarn choice will impact the final look, weight, and feel of your blanket. Here’s a breakdown of popular options:

• Acrylic Yarn – Affordable, machine washable, and beginner-friendly. Great for large stash-busting blankets.
• Cotton Yarn – Breathable and soft with excellent stitch definition. Adds weight, perfect for a more durable afghan.
• Wool Yarn – Warm and elastic, ideal for cooler climates. Pricier but worth it for coziness.
• Blended Yarns – Combine the best of both worlds (softness + durability).
• Chunky / Bulky Yarns – Great for a quick project with oversized flower squares.
• Fingering or Sport Weight Yarn – Perfect for delicate, lacy blankets, though adjustments are needed for square count
