Step 1: Crochet the Navy Blue Flowers

Round 1: Using cream yarn, make a magic ring. Work 8 SC into the ring. Join with a SL ST.

Round 2: Change to navy blue yarn. Work (SC, CH 3) into each stitch around to create 8 petal spaces.

Round 3: In each CH-3 space, work a puff stitch with 5 yarn overs, CH 2, then SL ST into the same space.

Repeat around to create 8 beautiful raised petals.

Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Step 2: Create the Cream Granny Squares

Round 4: Join cream yarn between two petals. Work CH 3, followed by 3 DC clusters between the petals. Create four corners using CH-2 spaces.

Round 5: Work DC clusters around the flower, using (3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC) in each corner space.

Round 6: Continue working DC stitches along each side, maintaining the square shape with corner increases.

Round 7: Finish with one round of SC for a neat and structured edge.

Each finished square should measure approximately 15 × 15 cm, depending on yarn thickness and hook size.

Step 3: Assemble the Blanket

For an approximately 150 × 210 cm blanket, make 140 granny squares.

Arrange them in 10 columns and 14 rows.

Place every square with the navy blue flower facing upward.

Join the squares using cream yarn and a slip-stitch or flat single-crochet joining method.

Keep the joining stitches even to create a professional finish.

Step 4: Crochet the Decorative Border

Work two rounds of SC around the entire blanket.

For the decorative shell edging:

• Skip 2 stitches.
• Work 5 DC into the next stitch.
• Skip 2 stitches.
• Work 1 SC into the next stitch.
• Repeat around the blanket, adjusting at corners.

Step 5: Add Elegant Cream Tassels

Cut several strands of cream yarn approximately 20–25 cm long.

Fold each bundle in half and attach it to the blanket edge.

Secure each tassel with a wrapped knot.

Space the tassels evenly along the desired edges.

Trim them to achieve a beautiful, uniform appearance.

Step 6: Make the Matching Crochet Pillow

Create 8 matching floral granny squares.

Arrange them in 2 rows of 4 squares.

Join the squares using cream yarn.

Add a decorative cream border around the front panel.

Crochet a plain cream back panel to match the front dimensions.

Join the front and back panels along three sides, insert the pillow form, and close the remaining side.

Finish with small decorative tassels.
