MADE WITH HOMBYS
Pastel Flower-Finish Blanket by @cozycloudknits
A soft pastel blanket becomes something personal with one little flower. @cozycloudknits pairs pink, lavender, peach, and white chenille stitches with a lavender flower and warm peach center at the corner.
The variegated yarn creates gentle changes across the blanket while the raised flower gives the eye a single place to rest. Keeping the flower in the same pastel family makes the finishing detail feel connected to the larger piece.
The Maker’s Story
The designer shared a new approach to making flowers after hearing that some makers found earlier petal instructions difficult to follow. The post invites viewers to comment FLOWER on the original Instagram post for the free tutorial.

Coordinating Yarn Options
The current Pink/Purple Variegated product photo includes pale pink, lavender, and white, making it a close visual starting point for the blanket. Light Purple and Apricot Pink are suggested flower colors. These shades have not been confirmed by the designer; the appearance of variegated yarn also changes with stitch size and color placement.
- Pink/Purple Variegated — suggested blanket colorway
- Light Purple — suggested petals
- Apricot Pink — suggested flower center
Planning Your Yarn Amount
The flower and blanket need separate planning. The post gives no blanket dimensions, gauge, or total yarn usage, so the linked 8-skein pack is a shopping option rather than a verified project kit. Swatch the blanket first and follow the designer’s flower tutorial for the smaller accent.

YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE
How much yarn should I prepare?
Reference size: 50 × 60 in (127 × 152 cm). Scope: one finished item.
Whole-skein color budget: approximately 11–16 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 8.8–13.3 skein-equivalents across all colors. Small accents may use only part of a skein.
| Yarn / color group | Whole-skein planning budget |
|---|---|
| Pink,Purple Variegated | 9–12 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 2 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
| Light Purple | 1–2 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
| Apricot Pink | 1–2 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: 1.25. This is not a tested yield or the maker’s confirmed usage.
Color split: Pink,Purple Variegated 80%, Light Purple 10%, Apricot Pink 10%. 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.
