I am looking at the directions for the petals. Are the letter wrong for the petals? Its telling me to use D -white first then B- soft fern. The picture shows the petals in all lemon. Can someone clarify this for me?

Same here. And there are mistakes in the flower also. The increases are miscounted. Every row should be 8 sts extra, the pattern has lots and lots more.

Hi there. Have you tried watching the video tutorial for clarification? If you still have questions, you can always email Yarnspirations for further advice- as it's their pattern, I'm wary to offer specific instructions and would recommend consulting their team. Hope this helps! Thanks! -Jaji, AFCAP Editor

I love the green/lemon/white mix of colors. Green is always very refreshing and always a welcome color whether in combination or a solid color. This Natural Daisy Baby Blanket is great as baby shower or christening present. The mommy will love it and baby will be comfy.

I don't understand the decrease instructions. On the increase, you increase two stitches each end for a total of four increased stitches per row (5 - 9 - 13). On the decrease rows, though, row 1 has two dc3tog, which matches, but row 2 has two dc2togs, which doesn't. It seems this would make the blanket more like a baseball diamond, which isn't quite a true diamond.

in the increases you have 1 and 2 per row. This matches the decreases.

Oh my gosh how cute! I found my next project for the fall for my soon to be here Great Grand Baby! I love this Natural Daisy Baby Blanket pattern that is right here on this page and it has a print tab. The corner to corner directions are well written and easy to understand and follow, I can see this one coming out nicely. I like the sun pillow too. The colors in this one will work for any gender and the blanket is a nice size. Looking forward to making this one. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern.
