Modern Crochet Stitch for Blankets and Throws — Beautiful Floral Motif Pattern for Beginners

Welcome to a new project that blends beauty, texture, and simplicity in the most delightful way. Today I bring you a modern crochet stitch built from floral granny squares, perfect for creating blankets, throws, bedspreads, and baby quilts with a soft, charming, and highly decorative finish.

This design looks detailed and sophisticated, yet it’s incredibly beginner-friendly. Whether you’ve only crocheted a few times or you’re looking for a relaxing project to enjoy at your own pace, this floral stitch is an excellent choice.

The blanket shown in the image is worked in a pastel pink and cream color combination, creating a warm and romantic look. But the beauty of this stitch is its versatility: you can adapt it to any color palette — earth tones for a boho vibe, neutrals for a minimalist style, or bright and cheerful shades for a kid’s room.

This post is crafted with the same level of detail and care that defines all Majovel Crochet content, with complete explanations, SEO-focused writing, and a strong guiding tone that helps both beginners and experienced crocheters.

1. A stitch that looks modern, elegant, and full of texture

This design is based on crocheting individual floral squares ("granny squares") that are later joined together to form a full blanket. This approach is perfect because it allows you to:

• Crochet comfortably without heavy weight

• Take your project anywhere

• Work in short and relaxing sessions

• Easily adjust the final size

• Combine colors freely

The highlight of this stitch is the 3D petals in the center of each square. These petals give depth, texture, and a handmade artistic feel that elevates the entire blanket. You get a design that looks boutique, with a technique simple enough for beginners.Además, la flor central con pétalos en relieve es el toque especial que convierte esta manta en una pieza única. La textura tridimensional aporta volumen, calidez y un acabado artesanal encantador.

2. Recommended materials

To achieve a soft and well-defined texture, I suggest the following materials:

Yarn

• Soft acrylic

• Baby acrylic (hypoallergenic)

• Cotton yarn

• Cotton-acrylic blends

Recommended weight: Light (3) or Medium (4)

Hook size

• Between 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm, depending on your tension and yarn thickness.

Other materials

• Scissors

• Yarn needle

• Measuring tape

• Stitch markers (optional)

3. How the stitch is constructed: understanding the structure

Each floral square is made up of four main parts:

a) Magic ring

This forms the center of the flower. It closes tightly so there’s no gap.

b) 3D petals

These are created using elongated double crochets or tall stitches, giving the flower its voluminous, raised appearance.

c) Square formation

By adding groups of stitches and chains around the flower, the round shape transitions into a perfectly even square.

d) Assembly

You can join the squares in two ways:

• Whip stitch with a yarn needle (clean and invisible)

• Slip stitch join (quick, firm, and neat)

4. Blanket size reference chart (cm & inches)

As in all Majovel Crochet posts, here is a complete measurement table so you can calculate how many squares you’ll need depending on your project:

Blanket Type	Approx. Size (cm)	Approx. Size (in)
Baby blanket	70 × 90 cm	27 × 35 in
Stroller blanket	60 × 80 cm	24 × 31 in
Crib blanket	90 × 120 cm	35 × 47 in
Sofa / TV throw	110 × 150 cm	43 × 59 in
Large throw	130 × 180 cm	51 × 71 in
Twin bed	160 × 210 cm	63 × 83 in
Full/Queen bed	200 × 220 cm	79 × 87 in

If your square measures about 12 × 12 cm (4.7 × 4.7 in), simply divide the total measurement by the square size to calculate how many motifs you need.

5. Tips for achieving a perfect finish

✔ Keep your tension consistent

This ensures all squares come out the same size.

✔ Make a few test squares

Try different colors and combinations to choose your favorite palette.

✔ Block your squares

Blocking helps define the shape and ensures the final assembly looks polished.

✔ Choose the right joining method

Slip stitch joins are sturdy and give a neat interior seam.

✔ Add a decorative border

A simple border in single crochet, half double crochet, or reverse single crochet (crab stitch) elevates the blanket beautifully.

EIn the YouTube video, you’ll find a clean and easy-to-follow chart, but here is a quick breakdown to help you recognize the symbols:

• Center: magic ring + clusters of double crochets

• Petals: elongated or tall stitches placed around the center
