While we’re all patiently counting down to the release of Crochet Animal Blankets and Blocks on August 9, I have a little treat to share. You can now try something similar before diving into the book – the Crochet Daisy Block! This coordinating block is inspired by one of my favorite flowers and is designed to work beautifully alongside the animal blocks from the book. You can download this FREE bonus pattern at Bookmarked Hub.
A Sweet Addition to Your Projects
With this pattern, you can make a simple and charming baby blanket using just four daisy blocks, or you can mix the floral block with any of the animal blocks to create endless combinations. For example, I added daisies to this farm‑themed blanket along with the Cow, Sheep, and Bunny blocks, and it turned out absolutely adorable.
Mix, Match & Get Creative
One of my goals when designing the blocks in the book was to make them easy to customize. You can mix and match features from different animals, or even improvise your own ideas. Here’s one fun example: I used the free Daisies Block pattern as a base and swapped the petals for single‑crochet circles made from the Dog Block pupils... and suddenly it became a cute little paw‑print block.
The possibilities truly are endless, and I can’t wait to see what you dream up.
