Another daisy blanket inspiration

A very nice customer named Leslie recently contacted me about creating a new daisy blanket in aqua/turquoise. She sent a photo of some lovely bedding, and was hoping to use that as a reference.




I sent over two samples (the photos are a bit dark). One using a light aqua and dark aqua:




And one with a green sc row as an accent:




She chose the second option. I'm excited to see how it turns out when they are all together. Other good news: the weekend is almost here! Have a wonderful day.

UPDATE: I have one more option. There seems to be so much blue, I thought I would try an option with a light blue and the green/aqua...




I think I like this one best with her bedding. We'll see what Leslie thinks!

      Thank you Luna (your posts always make me smile). She chose the second one, although I might have to work up one more sample, just to see something different...I'm a bit of a perfectionist! Have a wonderful night!

    Wow! Just wow! I only learned to crochet this week and can only do simple squares, not sure if it's called single crochet or double crochet because our terms in Australia are different, but I do know I HAVE to teach myself how to do these daisies and then hopefully a blanket. I'm not a big fan of crochet stuff but your things make me love everything you do! Thanks so much for sharing.

    A couple of comments you have mentioned your hook size, for us learners/overseas ppl, could you please tell us how many millimeters that is?

      Hi GadgetGirl, Thanks for you message! Yes, the terms are different in U.S. and English/the rest of the world (not sure why it has to be so difficult!) The hook size I used is "I" or 5.5 mm. I have no problem mixing my yarn brands. It's all about color for me. I do have my favorites, as I have mentioned elsewhere in my blog. Keep at it - it can be frustrating at first, but it is quite addictive and can be very relaxing once you get the hang of it. Try to focus on tension. Good luck!

      Hi Neicee, I love your blanket, it turned out beautifully, and as I mentioned, the border is so lovely.
