Flower Blanket Weave Along and Pattern

If you love flowers and you love to pin loom weave, you’ll love this weave along! We’re making a floral lapghan. It has five iconic flowers and an adorable bee. Flowers in the pin loom blanket include sunflower, tulip, daffodil, daisy, and zinnias.

The flowers are all woven with the same background so they join together seamlessly. You can create a border in any color, we chose to use the green of the leaves which creates a sense of boundary but also allows the flowers to really take all the attention.

What You’ll Need

  • Floral Afghans Pattern (Buy this bonus bundle or join the facebook group mentioned below).
  • Pin Looms: 4″ square and 4″ triangle
  • Yarn: Caron Simply Soft or medium worsted weight (4) yarn

This is a beginner friendly project because all the shapes are woven in plain weave. And only two pin looms are needed: the 4″ square and 4″ triangle. The floral afghan measures approximately 56″x76″. This blanket was woven with Caron Simply Soft which is a worsted weight yarn. You can use any worsted weight yarn but note that Caron Simply Soft is a little bit thinner than some which makes it a great choice for beginners.

How the Weave Along Works

We’ll weave one motif each month for six months, then assemble the final blanket in the seventh.

Where to join the Weave Along

We share the free pattern with chart in the Pin Loom Weaving Support Group on Facebook. If you’re not a member, it’s free to join, too.

The weave along pattern will list materials needed such as yarn and pin loom shapes. It will include a couple charts: one of the flower layout, the other with the number of shapes and how many are needed.

At the beginning of each month we’ll post the pattern to the group. The pattern and chart will be uploaded to the files folder in the Facebook group and will be available at any time. If you join the Facebook group in the future, no worries, the pattern can be found in the files.

When you finish a flower or bee, take a picture and post it to the group and mention the weave along. It’s that simple.

If you’re familiar with Files in Facebook, you know that they are clunky, unorganized and can be a real pain to sort through. We’ve created a full PDF of the Flower Blanket and bundled it with a second flower blanket!

Flower Blankets to Pin Loom Weave

First you make one flower, then another. Before you know it, you have a garden of flowers and a little bee, too!

We’ll confess, the first blanket we wove was the detailed one. It has 9 flowers and 1 bee. And it takes 7 pin loom shapes including squares, triangles and rectangles. And we love it. And we wanted every pin loom weaver to make one. But….not all pin loom weavers have 7 pin looms let alone the ones used in this pattern. So, a more simplified version was created. And it uses only 2 looms. Now everyone can weave their own flower garden!

About the Pin Loom Flower Afghan Pattern

This is great for beginners and experienced weavers alike as every shape is woven in plain weave.

There are two blankets in this Pin Loom Diary: Floral Afghans Pattern available in our Etsy Shop. Each has it’s own unique design and appeal.

Blanket A is the simple version with 5 flowers and a bee. The flowers are larger and the border is a solid color. It uses only 2 pin looms. The finished afghan measures approximately 56″x76″.

Blanket B is a more detailed version and has 9 flowers with stems and a bee. The flowers are smaller to allow space for leaves and stems. It uses 7 pin looms. The background and border on the detailed blanket is more quilt-like with pops of color sprinkled throughout. The finished afghan measures approximately 48″x72″.

Panda Set – Crochet Details

The spike stitch is used where colors change to give the illusion of fur. We’ve included information on how to make a furry panda bean bag using Fun Fur.

Everything in the pattern is surprisingly easy to make. We rate the pattern intermediate because of the foundation ch (sometimes called no foundation chain stitches) used in the leaves of the bamboo.
