Blossoming Bloom Blanket CAL – Pop-Up Garden Part 5

This is part 5 for the Blossoming Bloom Blanket CAL.

This strip is my contribution to the blanket. I chose this stitch combination and called it Pop-Up Garden

The Blossoming Blanket Pattern is a 53″ x 63″ / 135 x 160 cm size throw blanket.

  • The blanket is made out of 12 different strip pattern that are worked on top of each other (no joining or sewing here!). A final border is then worked around the blanket.
  • Each section’s instructions is accompanied by step-by-step photo tutorials. Some also have charts and videos for the different stitches featured.

My contribution is a super easy textured strip.

How to Change the Width of This Blanket Strip

If you want to use this stitch combination for one big blanket, you can easily change the width of the pattern.

To change the width, make a multiple of 2 chains for the desired length and add 1 more of the turning chains.
