Baby Blanket Flower & Leaf Details ~ Chart Translation

The baby blanket is *finally* complete and I cannot wait to share it with you!

 

A few weeks back I found a crochet baby blanket on Pinterest that led me to a chart. No written pattern, just a punch of symbols.

 

(ORIGINAL SITE FOUND HERE!!)

 

 Well, I like a good puzzle, and even though I knew what all the symbols meant, I like to have my patterns written out.

12 pages of notes later, here we are!

 

I will be starting with the details of the blanket, the flower and the leaf.

 

 

There will be a written pattern, as well as some pictures along the way for a visual.

 

For the blanket, I used baby weight yarn with a F/5 - 3.75mm hook.

I will be using those, as well as worsted weight yarn with a H/8 - 5mm hook for examples/pictures in this post.

 

 

 

Let's get started!

 

 

Small & Large 6-Petal Flower

 

Small Flower:

2. sl st to ch sp. - ch 1 - (sc - ch 2 - 3dc - ch 2 - sc) in ch sp - * sl st to next ch sp - (sc - ch 2 - 3dc - ch 2 - sc) in ch sp * repeat from * to * 5 times - join to beginning ch 1 {6 petals made}
