One of the commissions I am busy with at the moment is a lilac, grey and cream baby blanket. There is still quite a lot of work to be done on the blanket but I thought I might share the pattern for the squares I am making with you in the meantime....

Still absolutely loving the daisy centres I found here - she has a brilliant tutorial on how to make them too. I wanted my squares to be a bit more "open" so I did not follow her pattern for the subsequent rounds.
This is how I made mine:
First two rounds = the daisy
Third Round
Join new colour in space between two petals
3 Ch; 2dc; 1ch, *3dc, 1ch* in each next 11 spaces
Join with a ss
Fourth Round
Worked into spaces between clusters
3ch, 2dc, 1ch;
*3dc, 3ch; in next sp; 3dc, 1ch in next 2 sp* rep *to* 3 times
3dc, 3ch in next sp; 3dc 1ch in next sp
ss to join

Fifth Round
Join new colour into first sp after cnr
3ch, 2dc 1ch; 3dc 1ch into next sp
*3dc, 3ch, 3dc, 1ch into cnr, 3dc 1c into each of next 2 sp* rep *to* 3 times
3dc, 3ch, 3dc, 1ch into last corner, ss to join

I find it quite difficult to "write" a pattern - so if you find any errors or have any suggestions please leave me a comment!
These squares are such fun to make that I ended up making way too many of them - have set them aside to make another blanket when I have a bit of time.
Stay warm ...... and happy crafting!
I love this pattern!
