- Measure finished squares before joining.
- Block each square before assembly if needed.
Taking a little extra time during this stage will make joining the blanket much easier and give your finished project a polished appearance.
Crochet Granny Square Pattern Notes
Before starting the Flower Pot Granny Square Blanket Pattern, it is helpful to review the pattern notes. These notes provide important information about crochet terminology, construction style, and helpful tips for working with crochet granny square patterns.
This granny square blanket pattern crochet project is designed to be beginner-friendly and focuses on creating individual squares before joining them into the final blanket layout.
The blanket is made using 12 crochet square patterns, including flower granny square patterns and textured squares. Each square is worked separately, allowing crocheters to focus on one section at a time before assembling the blanket.
Because this is an easy granny square blanket crochet pattern, the pattern can easily be customized. Crocheters can experiment with different yarn colors, change the square arrangement, or add additional squares to create a larger blanket.

If your squares are finishing slightly too small or too large, adjusting your hook size is usually the easiest way to achieve the correct measurements.

Construction Overview
Granny Square Blanket Pattern Construction Overview
The Flower Pot Granny Square Blanket Pattern is constructed by crocheting individual squares and then joining them together to create the finished blanket. This approach makes the project manageable and beginner-friendly while allowing crocheters to enjoy working on smaller sections.
The blanket begins by creating the flower granny square patterns, which form the decorative center motifs of the design. These floral squares are inspired by traditional african flower crochet patterns and bring a vibrant, garden-inspired look to the blanket.
Once the flower squares are complete, the remaining crochet square patterns are worked. These textured squares add balance and structure to the layout while complementing the floral motifs.
After all granny square patterns are finished, the squares are arranged in the blanket layout and joined together using your preferred joining method. This step transforms the individual squares into a cohesive granny square blanket pattern crochet project.
The blanket is completed by adding a border around the outer edge, which frames the design and gives the finished blanket a polished appearance.
Construction Steps Overview
- Crochet the flower granny square patterns
- Crochet the textured crochet square patterns
- Arrange the squares into the blanket layout
- Join the granny squares together
- Add a border to finish the blanket
This simple construction process makes the pattern ideal for crocheters looking for an easy granny square blanket crochet pattern.
Resizing Guide
How to Resize the Flower Pot Blanket
One of the advantages of modular crochet is that the blanket can easily be adapted to suit your needs.
Make a Baby Blanket
Create a smaller version by using only a selection of your favourite squares or reducing the number of vertical strips. This is a wonderful option for baby showers or nursery blankets.
Make a Lap Blanket
A lap blanket can be made by reducing the blanket width or length while keeping the same square designs. The modular construction allows you to resize the project without changing the individual patterns.
Make a Larger Throw
To create a larger throw blanket, simply add additional strips using your favourite square designs or repeat some of the existing squares. This is an excellent way to use extra yarn while maintaining the blanket's overall style.
Change the Finished Size with Yarn
Another simple way to resize the blanket is by changing your yarn weight.
Using:
- DK yarn creates the sample size.
- Sport-weight yarn produces a slightly smaller blanket.
- Worsted-weight yarn creates a noticeably larger blanket.
- Chunky yarn results in an oversized, cosy throw.
Remember that changing the yarn weight will also affect the amount of yarn required.
Make It Your Own
The sample blanket uses a carefully planned colour palette inspired by flowers in bloom, but this pattern is also perfect for experimenting with your own favourite colours.
Some popular ideas include:
- Bright floral colours for a cheerful spring blanket
- Soft pastel shades for a nursery or baby gift
- Neutral tones for modern home décor
- Autumn-inspired colours for a warm seasonal throw
- Scrap yarn combinations for the ultimate stash-busting project
No matter which colours you choose, the textured granny squares create a blanket that is full of character and uniquely your own.

How to Assemble the Flower Pot Crochet Blanket
Step 1: Crochet All Blanket Squares
Begin by making all squares according to the Flower Pot Granny Square Blanket square list.
- SQ01| Star Flower Granny Square
- SQ02 | Simple Protea Flower Granny Square
- SQ03 | Early Blossom Flower Granny Square
- SQ04 | Newage Daisy Flower Granny Square
- SQ05 | Puff Stitch Agapanthus Flower Granny Square
- SQ06 | Forget-Me-Not Flower Granny Square
- SQ07 | Growing Daisy Flower Granny Square
- SQ08 | Fynbos Flower Granny Square
- SQ09 | Extra Large Textured Afghan Square
- SQ10 | Medium Textured Afghan Square
- SQ11 | Small Textured Afghan Square
- SQ12 | Small Textured Joining Square
Each square pattern includes:
- Round-by-round instructions
- Stitch counts
- Photo guidance for feature squares
- Notes to help with repeated squares
Before joining, check that all squares are the correct size and have matching stitch counts along each edge.
For best results, block your squares before assembly. Blocking helps relax the stitches, improves shape consistency, and makes joining much easier.
Follow the pattern layout as per the diagram below
Arrange Your Squares
Lay your squares out on a flat surface before joining.
This allows you to:
- Balance colours
- Adjust the layout
- Check the overall design
- Make changes before sewing or crocheting them together
Choose Your Joining Method
There are several popular ways to join granny squares:
Single Crochet Join
Creates a raised textured seam and adds structure.
Slip Stitch Join
Creates a flatter, less visible seam.
Mattress Stitch
Creates an almost invisible sewn join.
Join-As-You-Go
Allows squares to be connected while completing the final rounds.
The Flower Pot Blanket uses a single crochet joining method for a durable and textured finish.
Step 2: Create the Small Rectangle Units
The smaller SQ-12 squares are joined together first to create rectangle sections.
To create each rectangle:
- Take two SQ-12 squares.
- Place both squares with the right side facing upwards.
- Align the edges carefully.
- Join using a single crochet stitch.
- Work through:
The front loop of one square
The back loop of the opposite square
Continue working one single crochet stitch through each matching stitch across the edge.
Repeat this process until you have created all required SQ-12 rectangle units.
Step 3: Create the Vertical Blanket Strips
Once the smaller units are prepared, begin assembling the blanket into vertical strips.
Join squares together using the same joining method:
- Place squares right side facing up
- Align matching stitches
- Work single crochet joins through opposing loops
Creating the blanket in strips helps keep the layout organised and makes the final joining process easier.
Step 4: Arrange the Blanket Strips
Arrange the squares according to the following strip layout:
Strip 1
SQ-01, SQ-04, SQ-05, SQ-06, SQ-07, SQ-01
Strip 2
2 × SQ-12 Rectangle,
SQ-07,
SQ-08,
SQ-09,
SQ-04,
SQ-11,
2 × SQ-12 Rectangle
Strip 3
SQ-12,
SQ-11,
SQ-07,
SQ-06,
SQ-08,
SQ-10
Strip 4
2 × SQ-12 Rectangle,
SQ-11,
SQ-07,
SQ-06,
SQ-08,
SQ-10,
2 × SQ-12 Rectangle
Strip 5
SQ-01,
SQ-10,
SQ-04,
SQ-09,
SQ-11,
SQ-01
Strip 6
SQ-02,
SQ-03,
SQ-02
Step 5: Join the Vertical Strips Together
After all strips have been completed, lay them out in the correct order.
Before joining:
- Check the colour placement
- Confirm all squares are facing the correct direction
- Make sure all edges align correctly
Join each strip using the same single crochet joining method:
- Right sides facing upwards
- Front loop of one strip
- Back loop of the opposite strip
Work evenly across the entire length of the blanket.
Continue joining until all strips are connected and the full blanket shape is complete.
Why This Joining Method Works Beautifully
The single crochet join creates a slightly raised seam between the squares, adding extra texture and definition to the patchwork design.
It is also a beginner-friendly joining method because:
- The stitches are easy to see
- Squares remain aligned while joining
- The seams create a consistent handmade finish
- It adds structure and durability to the blanket
The result is a strong, beautiful blanket that showcases every individual square while bringing the entire design together.
Flower Pot Crochet Blanket Border
A beautiful border is the finishing touch that brings the entire Flower Pot Granny Square Blanket together. The border frames the different granny square designs, creates a neat finished edge, and adds extra texture around the outside of the blanket.
The border is worked around the completed blanket after all squares have been joined.
The sample blanket uses a 10-round crochet border combining double crochet and half double crochet rounds to create a balanced, structured finish.
The border construction follows a simple repeat:
- Corner increases are worked into each corner space
- Straight edges are worked evenly across each side
- Different stitch heights are used throughout the rounds to create subtle texture
This style of border complements the patchwork design without distracting from the beautiful granny squares.
Border Tips for a Professional Finish
To achieve the best results:
- Ensure your first border round is worked evenly around the blanket.
- Add extra stitches if your edge appears to pull or wave.
- Keep corner stitches consistent on every round.
- Maintain the same tension used throughout the blanket.
- Block the finished blanket after completing the border.
A well-balanced border helps the blanket lay flat and gives the finished piece a polished handmade appearance.
