I used only the flower portion of the pattern for the Field of Roses blanket. And I only crocheted 3 layers of petals because 4 layers made a flower that was too big for my afghan squares. For the background, I made 30 each 10x9” squares using a reversible V-stitch. For instructions on that stitch, here is a link to StitchinStacy’s easy-to-follow tutorial : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AlUug3HW4js I used a single crochet around the blanket to give it a finished edge.
