Purple flowers with four round petals, each one framed in crisp white, joined side by side until they become a blanket. It looks like a garden of violets. This tutorial from the Knitting House channel has passed 1 million views since it went up in March.
It is a little more work than a one-row blanket, but every flower is quick, and watching the strip of flowers grow is very satisfying.

What Makes This Blanket So Special?
The two colors do all the magic. The purple petals pop against the white frame, so even simple stitches look like a designer blanket.
It is made of motifs. You make one flower, give it its white frame, and the video shows how each new flower joins the one before. First you get a strip, then the strips join into a blanket.
Don’t love purple? Try pink and white for a baby girl, blue and white for a boy, or yellow and white for a surprise. The design looks fresh in any color you put next to white.
What You’ll Need
- Soft yarn in two colors: one for the flowers and white for the frames. A soft baby yarn in purple and white works beautifully.
- A crochet hook that matches your yarn. An ergonomic hook set is a good start.
- A tapestry needle and scissors.

Tips Before You Start
- Make the flowers in batches. Make all the purple centers first, then add the white frames. You get into a rhythm and it goes faster.
- Use the same dye lot of white. White yarn from different batches can look slightly different side by side.
- Measure one flower. Then count how many you need across and down. Our blanket sizing calculator helps.
- Block it at the end. A gentle wash and drying it flat makes all the flowers sit neat and even.
