Pattern Notes
Written in US Crochet Terms.
Turn at the end of each row.
Change colors as desired at the end of rows. In the video, I do show how to carry the yarn up the side.
The last stitch at the end of the row can be worked into the top chain of the first chain three or you can just work into the space. They both have a great look for the border.
For the border, work the stitches on the right side of your project. There is no need to turn your work for the border.
Important Tip. For the border, you’ll need a multiple of 15 to work this pattern. Therefore, when working the single crochet round adjust your stitches on the sides, top, and bottom so they are divisible by 15 (not counting the corner stitches).
Special Stitches Used
Chain Stitch
Insert the hook in the stitch, wrap the yarn over the crochet hook from back to front. Draw the yarn through the loop. Yarn over again and draw the yarn through both loops that are currently on the hook. (The first chain stitch is complete).

Two Double Crochet V-Stitch. This means you work two double crochet stitches, chain 1, and two double crochet stitches all in one stitch. Today, this becomes the Iris Stitch Cluster.
Yarn Color Pattern
Begin with off white yarn for row 1. Then work two rows of shimmer.
Continue repeating one row of off white and two rows of shimmer throughout the blanket. End with a row of off white for a symmetrical look.
Begin
Make a slip knot and put the loop on the crochet hook.
Make a foundation chain 139 CH STs.
Row 1
SK 4 STs. In the 5th CH from the hook, work (2 DC, CH 1, 2DC). [SK 3 STS, in the 4th CH ST work (2DC, CH 1, 2DC)]. Repeat across between [ ] to the last 2 CH STs. Then SK 1 ST and work 1 DC into the last ST. Turn
Row 2
CH 3. SK 2 DC. In the CH SP of the row below, work (2DC, CH 1, 2DC). [SK to the next CH SP and work (2DC, CH 1, 2DC)]. Repeat across between [ ]. End with 1 DC in the top of the turning chain. Turn

Crochet Daisy Scalloped Border
The border is worked using the Off-White Yarn.
The photos showing this border do not show the round of single crochet. We found that we like to do a round of single crochet stitches around before adding this border.
Round 1
Start with a slip knot and a loop on the crochet hook. Join the yarn to your project in a corner.
Border Math
You’ll need a multiple of 15 to work this pattern. Therefore, when working the single crochet round adjust your stitches on the sides, top, and bottom so they are divisible by 15 (not counting the corner stitches).
Work 3 SC in each corner ST.
For the top and bottom. Skip all centers of Iris Stitches and place 2 SC on each side. There will be 1 extra stitch so only work 1 SC on one side of an Iris Stitch somewhere. There will be 135 SC total, which is 4 in each Iris Stitch, less 1 ST. There will be 9 groups of 15.
For the rows. There will be 14 groups of 15 or 210 single crochet stitches. Ease the stitches along the sides working 3 or 4 stitches for each row.
I worked 3 in each row on the long sides and added 9 stitches along the way for a total of 210 stitches.
When you have completed the round, join with a slip stitch to the beginning SC.
Round 2
If you’re not there already, SL ST to a stitch just after the 3 corner stitches. At the end of the row, you’ll end up doing 1 slip stitch to the middle corner stitch and 1 slip stitch after the corner stitch.
1 Daisy Stitch Section. CH 4 (Counts as TC). Work a 2 TC-CL in the first ST of the CH 4. SK the next 6 STs. In the 7th CH work a 3 TC-CL. [CH 4 (Counts as TC). Work a 2 TC-CL in the first ST of the CH 4. 3 TC-CL in the same ST as before]. Repeat between [ ] 2 times. CH 4 (Counts as TC). Work a 2 TC-CL in the first ST of the CH 4. SK the next 6 STs. In the 7th CH work a SL ST.
SL ST to the next ST.
Repeat the Pattern for the daisy stitch on the sides, top, and bottom.
When you get to the corners, work the following stitches.
Corner Stitches
SL ST to the corner ST. (Work CH 4, 2 TC-CL in the first ST of the CH 4. CH 6. Work 2 TC-CL in the 4th CH from the hook. SL ST back into the corner ST). Repeat (Work CH 4, 2 TC-CL in the first ST of the CH 4. CH 6. Work 2 TC-CL in the 4th CH from the hook. SL ST back into the corner ST). SL ST back into the corner ST. SL ST into the first ST on the side of STs you are working on to continue working around with the daisy scallop pattern.
Finishing
Cut the yarn leaving a 10-12 inch yarn tail. Pull the yarn tail through the last stitch. Using the tapestry needle, weave all yarn ends in and trim off any excess yarn.
