If you love flowers and you love to pin loom weave, you’ll love this weave along! We’re making a floral lapghan. It has five iconic flowers and an adorable bee. Flowers in the pin loom blanket include sunflower, tulip, daffodil, daisy, and zinnias.
The flowers are all woven with the same background so they join together seamlessly. You can create a border in any color, we chose to use the green of the leaves which creates a sense of boundary but also allows the flowers to really take all the attention.
What You’ll Need
- Floral Afghans Pattern (Buy this bonus bundle or join the facebook group mentioned below).
- Pin Looms: 4″ square and 4″ triangle
- Yarn: Caron Simply Soft or medium worsted weight (4) yarn
This is a beginner friendly project because all the shapes are woven in plain weave. And only two pin looms are needed: the 4″ square and 4″ triangle. The floral afghan measures approximately 56″x76″. This blanket was woven with Caron Simply Soft which is a worsted weight yarn. You can use any worsted weight yarn but note that Caron Simply Soft is a little bit thinner than some which makes it a great choice for beginners.
How the Weave Along Works
We’ll weave one motif each month for six months, then assemble the final blanket in the seventh.
Where to join the Weave Along
We share the free pattern with chart in the Pin Loom Weaving Support Group on Facebook. If you’re not a member, it’s free to join, too.
The weave along pattern will list materials needed such as yarn and pin loom shapes. It will include a couple charts: one of the flower layout, the other with the number of shapes and how many are needed.
At the beginning of each month we’ll post the pattern to the group. The pattern and chart will be uploaded to the files folder in the Facebook group and will be available at any time. If you join the Facebook group in the future, no worries, the pattern can be found in the files.
When you finish a flower or bee, take a picture and post it to the group and mention the weave along. It’s that simple.
If you’re familiar with Files in Facebook, you know that they are clunky, unorganized and can be a real pain to sort through. We’ve created a full PDF of the Flower Blanket and bundled it with a second flower blanket!
