Part 1  The Main Part

(the general pattern for all different Bouquet Blanket)

R1: MR, 12F
R2: (FV, CH)×12
R3: (F, FV, CH)×12
R4: (F, FV, F, CH)×12
R5: (3F, FV, CH)×12
R6: (2F, FV, 2F, CH)×12
R7: (5F, FV, CH)×12

Note: 
1, The main part consists of 12 pattern repeats per round, with each repeat increasing by 1 st; each round has 12 more sts than the previous one.
2, On odd-numbered rows, increase in the last stitch of each repeat; on even-numbered rows, increase in the middle stitch of each repeat. Staggering the increases in this way ensures that the openwork aligns in a straight line. Follow this pattern consistently to complete the main part of the blanket.

The sample description:
5-Ply Cotton version: 
      The small blanket is worked in 33 rounds, resulting in a diameter of approximately 70 cm and featuring 68 flowers;
      The large blanket requires 47 rounds, yielding a diameter of approximately 110 cm and including 96 flowers.

Note: Since crocheters may have different tensions, there could be slight variations in the blanket size, the number of rounds, and the flowers count. The crochet technique stays consistent, so adjustments can be made based on your specific outcome.

Part 2 Edging

 (This section is best understood when combined with video instruction.)

Work with green color yarn. 

R1: join yarn in any st of the last round of the main part, then work a beginning chain and work: (X, 5CH, K2), K2 means skip 2 sts, repeat this group until completing the whole round, finish the last 5 chains, join with the first single crochet with a slip stitch.

R2: This round is worked into the chain spaces in the previous round, alternating between two groups.
 
Group 1 Work into the space as follows:
Begin with 1 single crochet, chain 3, work 1 double crochet, chain 1, 1 double crochet, chain 1, 1 double crochet, chain 1, and 1 double crochet. (This creates a total of 4 double crochets, each separated by 1 chain.), Finish with 3 chains and 1 single crochet.
 
Group 2 Work into next space as follows:
Work 1 single crochet, chain 7, Return to the 5th chain from the hook and slip stitch (this forms a picot). 
Then work 3 chains and work 1 single crochet into the same space.

Repeat Group 1 and Group 2 alternately around the entire round. After completing the last single crochet, slip stitch into the first single crochet of the round to join. Leave a long tail, fasten off, and weave in the ends.
 
 (Symbol chart pattern: [X, 3CH, (F, CH)×3, F, 3CH, X], [X, 7CH, Dao5, picot, 3ch, X] , Alternate between these two groups.

Part 3 Peach flowers

 (This section is best understood when combined with video instruction.)
