First you make one flower, then another. Before you know it, you have a garden of flowers and a little bee, too!
We’ll confess, the first blanket we wove was the detailed one. It has 9 flowers and 1 bee. And it takes 7 pin loom shapes including squares, triangles and rectangles. And we love it. And we wanted every pin loom weaver to make one. But….not all pin loom weavers have 7 pin looms let alone the ones used in this pattern. So, a more simplified version was created. And it uses only 2 looms. Now everyone can weave their own flower garden!
About the Pin Loom Flower Afghan Pattern
This is great for beginners and experienced weavers alike as every shape is woven in plain weave.
There are two blankets in this Pin Loom Diary: Floral Afghans Pattern available in our Etsy Shop. Each has it’s own unique design and appeal.
Blanket A is the simple version with 5 flowers and a bee. The flowers are larger and the border is a solid color. It uses only 2 pin looms. The finished afghan measures approximately 56″x76″.
Blanket B is a more detailed version and has 9 flowers with stems and a bee. The flowers are smaller to allow space for leaves and stems. It uses 7 pin looms. The background and border on the detailed blanket is more quilt-like with pops of color sprinkled throughout. The finished afghan measures approximately 48″x72″.
