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 16 sunflowers;
      The large blanket requires 47 rounds, yielding a diameter of approximately 110 cm and including 30 sunflowers.
4-Ply Cotton version: 
      The small blanket is worked in 35 rounds, resulting in a diameter of approximately 70 cm and featuring 27 sunflowers;
      The large blanket requires 51 rounds, yielding a diameter of approximately 100 cm and including 39 sunflowers.

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

Part 2 Basic edging and Leaves

Work with green color yarn. 

Step 1 Basic edging

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

R2: work single crochet for the whole round (work 1 single crochet in each single crochet stitch, and 2 single crochets in each chain space).

Step 2 Leaves

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

Step 1: After completing the Basic edging, chain 3 at the slip stitch join.

Step 2: Below the slip stitch join, locate the corresponding double crochet from main part last round, and count 2 sts to the left. Work 1 single crochet in the space between the 2nd and 3rd sts.

Step 3: Turn the fabric, work on the 3 chains space as following sts: 1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 3 double crochets, 1 half double crochet, and 1 single crochet.

Step 4: Turn the fabric so that the small leaf you just created is on the left side of the hook. From the last single crochet, chain 3, In the same double crochet row as Step 2, count 4 sts to the right and work 1 single crochet in the space between the 4th and 5th sts.

Step 5: Return to the 3 chains and work the following sts: 1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 3 double crochets, 1 half double crochet, and 1 single crochet. This completes one pair of leaves.

Step 6: From the slip stitch join in Step 1, work 8 single crochets to the left. Then work 3 chain stitches.
 
 Starting from here, repeat the leaf pattern described above Step 1~6, continuing around the entire piece.
