Every few months I get the urge to make a C2C crochet blanket and it never disappoints. The Daisy Day Throw was perfect to make on these cloudy spring days, to bring some happiness. I don’t know if you guys have noticed but the 90s are making a big comeback in design and fashion! I think that the Daisy Day Throw fits in perfectly with 90s vibes. It reminds me of my childhood and I love it!
The Daisy Day Throw is a Corner 2 Corner (C2C) blanket which means it’s made from the bottom right corner, diagonally to the top left corner. If you’ve never made a C2C then I recommend checking out my video tutorial as you create the blanket. You could even work up a practice swatch before diving into the project.
I also recommend making separate balls of yarn to help prevent cutting and joining your yarn with each color change. For example, when you get to the petal sections you will want a separate ball/skein of yarn for each petal and a separate ball for the blue sections in between. That way you don’t have to cut and join the yarn each time. Now, at some points there will be NO avoiding the cutting of the yarn. You will have to do it and you will have ends to weave in. I found with this blanket that it wasn’t too overwhelming and I got them all weaved in within an hour or so. If you need some visuals on how to keep your yarn organized there are lots of tutorials available out there!

Notes:
This is a Corner 2 Corner Pattern. If you are unfamiliar with this technique be sure to check out the video tutorial below.
The graph is read from the bottom right corner to the top left corner. You will be working diagonally and reading the rows from right to left and then left to right.
Each square on the graph counts as one block. One block consists of one Ch 3 and 3 Dc.
You will begin the rows with an increase square until you reach the bottom left corner. When you reach the corner you will be decreasing on this side and continuing to increase on the other. Once you reach the upper right corner you will no longer be increasing on either side and will start each row by decreasing until you finish.
I recommend using separate balls/skeins of yarn when switching colors to eliminate having to cut and join yarn frequently.
