Made with HOMBYS: Buttercup Daisy Blanket & Pillow by @palmandpurl
MADE WITH HOMBYS
Buttercup Daisy Blanket & Pillow by @palmandpurl
Sunny yellow chenille and soft white daisies make a cheerful handmade pairing. Creator @palmandpurl completed a blanket and matching flower-shaped pillow using HOMBYS Buttercup yarn, with white HOMBYS yarn for the floral accents.
The textured yellow blanket features a cluster of three small white daisies, while the separate daisy pillow brings the same colors into a larger, sculptural shape. Rounded petals and oversized stitches give the set its soft, tactile character.
The Maker’s Experience
In the original post, the maker celebrated finishing her HOMBYS collaboration and said the Buttercup yarn was wonderful to work with. She also explained that the white yarn was HOMBYS yarn she had purchased previously.
The maker noted that her first carousel image used an AI-created background based on the second image of the finished set. The original unstyled project photograph is included below, alongside the styled cover.

GET THE COLOR STORY
Buttercup Yellow & White
Buttercup is the shade named by the maker. Pure White is our suggested matching white; the original post confirms the brand but not the white shade. No corresponding Buttercup-and-white solid-color mixed pack was found, so the two colors are linked separately.
Planning Your Yarn Amount
The original post does not provide finished dimensions, stitch gauge, or skein counts for either piece. Buttercup is the main blanket color and the daisy centers; white supplies the petals and floral details. Confirm the blanket size and pillow construction before estimating quantities. The linked 8-skein packs are shopping options, not a confirmed complete kit for this set.

YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE
How much yarn should I prepare?
Reference size: 50 × 60 in (127 × 152 cm). Scope: blanket only; the sculpted daisy pillow needs its own pattern.
Whole-skein color budget: approximately 9–13 skeins in total, including one spare in the largest yarn group. Whole-skein rounding by color can exceed the estimated amount actually knitted.
Estimated fabric consumption before the spare: about 6.9–10.3 skein-equivalents across all colors. Small accents may use only part of a skein.
| Yarn / color group | Whole-skein planning budget |
|---|---|
| Buttercup | 6–9 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1–2 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
| Pure White | 3–4 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
Planning assumptions: single-layer blanket. Area model uses 350 square inches per 27 yd skein as a working assumption, scaled to the listed skein length; ±20% allowance, plus one spare after rounding each color. Decorative / texture factor: 1. This is not a tested yield or the maker’s confirmed usage.
Color split: Buttercup 70%, Pure White 30%. These are illustrative planning shares, not measured original proportions. Mixed / gradient product rows are combined yarn groups; their full pack size is not a claim of project consumption. Check pack contents and top up individual colors as needed.
Before buying: swatch in the intended stitch, measure the finished swatch and yarn used, then scale to your chosen size. The reference size above is an assumption unless marked maker-reported. These figures do not establish the original finished size or actual yarn used.
