This and all my patterns use US CROCHET TERMS.

If you have knowledge on how to work in the round - ex. 6,12,18,24 etc with increases and decreases you won’t have any trouble. This is probably not a beginner level pattern since multiple strands are held together and the construction is at least intermediate.

You may make and sell products from my patterns, but please do me the kindness of linking back to my pattern and mentioning The Burgundy Basket with links where applicable to all the photos you put online.

This is part of a huge baby ensemble that I completed and part of an Ebook here in my Ravelry Store. The Ebook contains the patterns for a Rug/Playmat, Owl Pillow Cover and small Owl Toy as well as this Groovy Flower Pillow.

yarn tip: when I began the entire project that included the Woodland Animals (also in my Ravelry Store), I started with 3 skeins of 8 colors in Impeccable Yarn. (24 skeins) I started with blue, green, pink, dark purple, dark and light gray, brown and beige. I used just about every single bit if you want to create this whole set.

Hooks: Size L/8mm hook for the blanket and K/6.5mm for the pillows. Size I/5.5 mm was used for the eyes on the owl pillow cover. For the little owl toy, gauge isn’t super important. Use the hook size that gives you tight stitches for your yarn. I have used my G/4mm and H/5mm hooks.

The Big Groovy Flower pillow is made from all of my leftover yarns from my entire Baby Hazel collection. This set was made as a woodland baby themed collection. I have also made a bunch of woodland baby animals to accompany this set that are available in my Ravelry Store. This large groovy flower was the last piece that I did with the yarn that was purchased for this set. If you are purchasing yarn for this flower pillow alone, you will need 2 full skeins for 3 petals - so, 4 skeins will be needed for the entire pillow. My example measured 24” across and each petal is 21” around (see above for the yarn information). I used mostly the True Grey and Soft Rose and then at the end of those added some scraps of everything else. This pillow also uses two strands held together throughout.

Yarns: The baby set is made from holding two strands of yarn together throughout all pieces- except for the eyes on the owl pillow cover. The white yarn is Big Twist Classic in White (690 yds/11oz/630m/310g). You will need a full skein of this and maybe part of another depending on your gauge for the blanket/play mat. Big Twist is labeled a #5 yarn, but in my experience, it works up like a small #4 yarn, so I treat it as a #4 yarn. If you are making both the owl pillow cover and the blanket and want to use a second strand of white instead of two of the color, you need two skeins. I have used the same yarn in all projects. The 2nd strand of yarn is Loops & Threads Impeccable (Impeccable is 285 yds/4.5oz260m/127.5g. It is a #4 Yarn) For the blanket in order from the center is Soft Rose, Plum, Misty Blue, Green Lagoon and True Gray. You will need a skein for each color in the blanket and 2 skeins for each color in the owl pillow cover. I used two colors/skeins for the for the pillow cover, I have alternated Classic Grey and Putty (two strands of each held together) and the eyes are in Barley.
