Notes:
- Photos showing stitch placement are on the last page of pattern and are referenced as P1, P2, P3 etc.
- BPtr is used in order to help keep the post sts at an equal height of each row throughout the blanket
- You can easily move the flowers into any formation you prefer by moving the Bobble stitch to desired position within the set of 15 dc’s on the right side of the blanket (odd #’d rows)
- This design uses starting/standing stitches to begin rows unless otherwise stated. Feel free to use the starting stitches OR beginning chains if you are unfamiliar with how to begin a row with starting stitches. You can use the following: ch 1, sc in very first st; ch 2, skip very first st to be counted as a hdc; ch 3, skip very first st to be counted as a dc; If you would like to learn how to work these stitches, you can find a great tutorial here:
