A step-by-step guide to making your own adorable crochet 💖

This rose blanket is worked in the round using the amigurumi spiral method—which means you’ll be crocheting in continuous circles, expanding your blanket with each round.

💡 Tip: Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round. Move it up as you go to avoid losing track.

🌟 Main Blanket (White Yarn)

  1. Begin with a Magic Ring
    • With white yarn, create a magic ring.
    • Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as your first double crochet), make 12 double crochets into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. (12 stitches total)
  2. Increase and Expand the Circle
    • Round 2: Chain 3, then repeat the following 12 times: 2 dc in one stitch, chain 1. Join. (36 stitches)
    • Round 3: Chain 3, then repeat 12 times: 1 dc in one stitch, 2 dc in next stitch, chain 1, skip 1 stitch. Join. (48 stitches)
  3. Continue Expanding Follow this same increase logic, adding one more regular double crochet before the 2 dc increase in each new round:
    • Round 4: (2 dc, 2 dc in 1 st, ch 1, skip 1 st) x12 → 60 sts
    • Round 5: (3 dc, 2 dc in 1 st, ch 1, skip 1 st) x12 → 72 sts
    • ...
    • Continue this pattern until you reach Round 45, where the repeat becomes: (43 dc, 2 dc in 1 st, ch 1, skip 1 st) x12. (552 stitches total)
  4. Fasten off white yarn after Round 45.

🌿 Decorative Green Border

  1. Round 46 (Green Yarn):
    • Join green yarn.
    • Chain 1. Then repeat the following: 1 single crochet, chain 4, skip 2 stitches.
    • Continue to the end of the round and join.
  2. Round 47 (Petal Base):
    • Chain 1. In each chain-4 space from the previous round, work:
      • 1 single crochet, chain 4
      • Starting in the second chain from the hook, do the following in that chain space: 1 slip stitch, chain 2, 1 single crochet in same space
      • Repeat for each chain-4 space around the blanket. Join and fasten off.

🌹 Making the Roses (Red Yarn)

  1. Round 48:
    • Attach red yarn. Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).
    • Chain 14, then:
      • 1 dc in the second chain from the hook
      • 2 dc in the next stitch
      • (3 dc in one stitch) 8 times
      • Chain 3, slip stitch to the base of the petal strip
      • Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing
      • Sew the rose in place between the green petals
🌸 Tip: You will skip every other space to attach a rose, so there’s a balanced, spaced-out floral design.

Repeat until you have a ring of roses along the outer edge of the blanket.

💡 Optional & Creative Ideas

Now that you've completed your rose blanket, here are some fun ways to customize or use it:

  • 🌼 Customize Your Colors: Try pastels for a baby blanket or bold purples and blues for a modern twist.
