Daily Blossoms: Affirmation Blanket 🌸🧶

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi friends, I hope you enjoy the video. I've decided to do a year long project but instead of a mood blanket, I'll be doing an affirmations blanket using a simple 5 minute flower . Along with the flower , there is a simply jayg method and filler motif option. I'll share regular updates but I'd love if you join a long with this your own daily blossom blanket! xx If you do, be sure to tag me with regular updates on Instagram. @playhookywithme

You’re a very good teacher.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you so much! 💕

[@maryjones1]

What a wonderful idea. I appreciate you showing how the flower will look and size it will be when using different hook sizes.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I'm so glad it was helpful! 🌸🧶 👏🏻

[@jgraef919]

I like the flower and I truly like the Filler Motif. The color combinations are endless. I think small, colorful pieces joined together are so eye catching. Great video, Roz. ❤

[@PlayHookywithMe]

[@angelabirkett9671]

Hello Roz... I love todays tutorial and the colour scheme is off the chart . I will use my scraps to make a temperature blanket which is fitting for the frigid Canadian winters . I always join as i go and the extra motife in yhe middle adds character . Have a blessed week ahead with the boys .

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you , Angela! I wish KZbin had a community feature where we could all share our makes! I know I could start a Facebook page but it would be great if it could be here ! Have a great week and always lovely to hear from you 😽😽😽😽😽😽

[@angelabirkett9671]

I love the idea of a community page to showcase our projects if as you say on KZbin . I don't like dealing with Facebook on any level . However ; your wish for KZbin to have this platform may come true Have a great day.

[@sarap6862]

I’m definitely wanting to do the affirmation blanket. Great idea ❤

[@Haunted_Ham365]

I love this idea!! It's so weird, I was just thinking about what kind of year long blanket project I want to do after my temperature blanket is done in May, and this is perfect. I can't wait to start this! Thank you so so much 🫶🏻😻🏵️🌸🌼🌺

[@PlayHookywithMe]

So glad to hear you are excited to get started! 🤗💖 🧶

[@nz-nz]

Gorgeous design. Thanks for an awesome tutorial!

[@ymqlam8127]

Thank you so much for the brilliant idea of making a flower affirmation blanket, it is much more personal than making a temperature blanket and crocheting flowers is a mindfulness exercise.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

What is exciting to me is how quick and easy it is to fit in the day . With the added mindfulness it’s making me look forward to working on it even more . Almost like a warm bath for my brain to shut out the “noise” 🧶💕

[@EmilyExplosion27]

I feel like I want to make a top out of these. Just like a boxy tee that you wear a tank under. So off I go to buy yarn. Maybe I'll do dk so there's more flowers. We shall see...

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Great idea!! 😍

[@fionastube2011]

Never wanted to make a temperature blanket, but the daily flowers sounds like fun. I’ve had a vague idea for a landscape of flowers, and this would be an excellent start! Always good ideas and great technique to be found here!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oooh, love your idea 🤩😍

[@Kokoamaya935]

Oh what a cute idea, and your journal is sooo pretty!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you so much ! 🤩🤗

[@janetnash]

[@Rica.healing.from.a.life.x]

I've failed last year because it was so fun crocheting the tiny squares that I couldn't stop and finished a blanket directly in January. 😂

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Bahahaha, you go getter you ! Well done 😆💕

[@Mallowolf]

These look really cute! Thanks for showing the join as you go method as that’s where I struggle to want to finish projects

Great idea & the flowers are beautiful!❤🤗

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thanks so much 😊 ❤️✨

[@scritch]

I've always wanted to make a temperature blanket or something similar but never done it. Your last video is the one that inspired me to finally do it!! Thank you so much, I'm so excited to do this journey ♡ Your flowers are so lovely!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh good! I hope you have a lot of fun with it. Happy 2025! ✨🎊✨

[@christiejacox3499]

Love this idea and am saving the video for later. This year I am creating mini granny squares based on my mood similar to what you’ve done😊

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Awesome! I’ll share an update at the end of the year and then you can see if it’s up your alley 🌺🧶🤗 Have fun with your squares, I know you will ❤️

[@julesvis]

Beautiful. I love the colours.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you 🧶🤗

[@ULandaJones-w1p]

Love the idea ❤. I will make flowers 🌸 affirmations.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Great!

[@ULandaJones-w1p]

@ how do you come up with the colors for your affirmations?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@ULandaJones-w1p Not sure if you are asking me or Ulanda but I will give you some ideas. If you check in the description bo,x I've shared a sample month (January) with this months themed affirmations along with a suggested color palette for January. The colors can be slightly different per month maybe going from cooler to warmer colors as the months progress. Sort of like a temperature blanket. Or you could pick a selection of colors that you want your blanket to be and then choose each day simply by how you are feeling (incorporating the mood like the mood blanket I shared last year) If you use an oracle deck then you could also pull from the illustration colors for the card you randomly picked that day. Really, the colors are secondary to the affirmations part. The key is to take that moment for self care and work with a color that feels good to you in the moment . For me, I've chosen about 7 warm colors (reds, yellows, pinks) that will be my flowers and cool colors (greens and blues) to add the small circle motifs in between. Hope that helps

[@ULandaJones-w1p]

@ Yes, Thank you 😊 I appreciate the information and guidance. Good point on the self care because when making the flowers it does give you a moment to relax. 🌸💕

[@gingermaney3809]

I have never joined anything but you are so good. Just wanted to tell you that. Woooohooo

[@PlayHookywithMe]

[@shannonsullivan2109]

I am so excited to try this! I've done temperature blankets and they get Soooooo big and heavy. Thank you! You are a great teacher and inspiring! Hugs for a great new year!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

So glad to hear you are excited to give it a try 🧶💕 hugs back !

[@GwenDyck]

Neat project,will be trying this myself this year, as well as the small square unit ,shown at the beginning

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it! 🌸🧶

[@kwalking7]

It would be fun to make a rectangular shawl with them as well.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Absolutely 😍

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you , Debbie 🧶

[@tyrsia]

This looks so fun and I immediately want to start this--but I'm still working on a different granny square blanket and trying real hard not to get too many projects in motion at once! I do think the more I crochet, the more I appreciate planning the project out. I wish for the blanket I am working on that I had done join-as-you-go, but I didn't have a full plan before I dove in and started making squares!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

That’s the fun problem with crochet right, so many projects but not enough time in a day 😆✨

[@maureenschofield4784]

Another option for joining would be to offset your rows and put a flower between two. That would eliminate the gaps and not need the filter motif.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I think I played with that but found it needed a half flower on the sides . But, yes - that would be equally beautiful! 🤩

[@alionaciobanu2600]

Amazing explanation. I like how closely you've zooed in with your camera. We can see the stitches very well❤

[@PlayHookywithMe]

LOVE IT! I may make a mood or temperature blanket, however first I'm using this for a baby blanket for our family's newest addition. [My cousin's first grandchild, a baby girl who is being named Charli after her great grandfather]😊

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh I love that . Charli is so precious 💕

[@thatcasa-lotzlife5558]

I would love to see this blanket pattern created in a diagonal pattern. I am not talking about the affirmation or mood blanket concept, just the flowers done in a diagonal pattern so that I can alternate colors without having to "change" after each flower. I don't know if this is making any sense but I think that the blanket design is beautiful and I would love to see it done in two colors. It is a lovely blanket.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Great idea. I’m sure, though, you can figure this out on your own now that you’ve got the basic pattern and concept. Have fun!

[@maritzaorbay8011]

Is beautiful but I personally I have difficulties crocheting small projects like that but is beautiful 🤩

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you for the lovely compliment 💕✨

[@kathymoore7137]

I love this, but I am confused how you are choosing your colours ???

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Like I mentioned in the video, I chose a selection of colors that I liked (the box you saw at the beginning) . Then I’m randomly choosing a card from the deck and getting inspiration from the colors in the illustration. My focus is on being still for a moment reflecting on the message while I create a flower to represent it so really the color is secondary. If I wasn’t using the deck to inspire the color then I would just choose the one that feels good on the day. But of course, there are more structured ways of doing it. That’s why a temperature, scrap or mood blanket works well too!

[@kathymoore7137]

Thx for that.

[@Ladythyme]

Sounds like fun….every day I pull an Oracle card and I have a deck by Inna Segal called The Secret Language of Colors…it reflects a lot of colors (45) but I’m thinking I can put them into the 7 basic color categories plus neutrals to reflect those pulled…gonna give this a whirl 😃….now to decide how I want to crochet them….🤔😉…gotta play catchup now 😳

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Fabulous!! 🌺 🧶I need to find that deck, it sounds amazing. 🤩

[@Ladythyme]

@ I believe it can be found on Amazon ☺️

[@patgolner2298]

I was anxiously waiting all morning for your video!! I got side tracked doing housework and looking at some videos I missed!! I love this and it looks intimidating to join but I am going to do it starting today! Plus may make some placemats with this beautiful 🌼. On the video I watched regarding VSTICH TO INFINITY the sample in picture looks denser less gappy? Then the one worked up in video? Anyway I am pumped to have this daily project to work on my self ❤ Thank you so much for a new year of your time and sharing with us.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

So glad you are excited, happy to hear you are ready to start! 🎊 I don’t believe the image stitches were denser , everything was done the same in the thumbnail vs the tutorial. If you have any issues with that then using a smaller hook always helps 🧶✨

[@patgolner2298]

@PlayHookywithMe 😊 TY!

[@JoyTheLazyCatLady]

Very nice. Thank you. 💙🧶🧵📝✌🏻

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you for watching! 😊🧶✨💕

[@krysalia]

Would you please add a paragraph in the description about what is "affirmation" and the principle of the color code ? i'm not familiar with this philosophy (is it one ?), and what would be the principle behind the choice of colors for each day. I saw very different things in the cards you shown, so I can't manage to guess what is the link between the cards, the choice regarding each day, and the colors. (I would guess that you are crocheting the colors of the card you pick up randomly that day, but what's the link with the content of your day ?) . I'm quite lost, if you care to elaborate, i would love that :). thank you :) !

[@SONICRAFTS]

I was wondering the same thing. You read my mind...

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I’ll add something more structured for you in the description box basically it’s something I made up for myself. I chose an oracle deck with different positive messages that I can pull from randomly each day. I’ll read it and keep pondering it in my mind while I crochet the flower. 🌺 I’m going to also add a journal entry to keep track. The message and the color I chose. It’s a “mindfulness “ practice of focusing on something good and positive and being “still” for a few minutes. As far as colors - I picked several colors that I want in my blanket and will used the colors on the oracle card to help me choose the color of the flower that day. Otherwise I would treat it like a mood blanket and choose a color that represents how I feel that day. However , there are tons of ways you could do this. Scriptures , daily gratitude, goal setting, anything that would be a moment of taking time . You could also have color and affirmation themes per month. I can organize something like that if you’d like. Give a list of daily affirmations for the year plus color prompts if you like and monthly themes . 💕 Addendum: I added an example in the description box for January .

[@akorn95]

💖🌺🌸🌼💖 Fun!

[@gwencobb1452]

What is an affamation blanket hiw do you decude colours

[@PlayHookywithMe]

This is something I’ve “made up” for myself, so how to do it is relative. Everyday , I’m going meditate on an affirmation while I crochet a flower. To help , I have an oracle deck that has some uplifting messages that I’ll randomly pick each day - I’ll read it first and then reflect on it as I crochet my flower. I’m treating it like a self care moment where I get “quiet”. This would also work well with “self concept affirmations” , daily gratitude , or scriptures. Mainly it’s about being mindful and focusing on the good for those few minutes. The colors : I chose a group of colors that I like together ( the box of yarn I showed at the beginning) and I’ll just pick up a color at random each day or be inspired by the colors on the oracle deck to help me choose. Hope that makes sense.

[@kat9446]

Roz? You prefer Tulip hooks over Clover Amour hooks? What is the advantage?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi Kat. I like them equally the same . A viewer recommended Tulips to me after seeing how much I liked Clover Amour The Tulips have lasted me for years with no complaint but I wouldn’t say they are any better than Clover . I’d recommend getting one in your favorite size and see what you think 💕 If I had to compare , I’d say the rubber of the ergonomic handle on Tulip is slightly slimmer than the ones on Clover . Great question, though, I’ll pay more attention for a while and see if there are any pros and cons. ❤️

[@kat9446]

@ Thanks, Roz. I will try a Tulip hook. ❤️

[@alyssadavies2758]

Is there no way we can make the flowers first and then join ? I’ve made 7 but didn’t realise you needed to join as you go 😂😭

[@alyssadavies2758]

Perhaps I’ll just start again haha at least I didn’t get far 😂

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Haha yes you can join them - just tie them together with a yarn that you’re using and then continue on with the join as you go from where you left off. It might look a little different in that spot of the blanket (not a lot) so you’ll just have to decide if it’s worth starting over or not 😆🤗

[@kat9446]

Hi Roz. I want to try out the Comfy yarn. Is it too much trouble to tell me the colors you are using? I’d really appreciate it. Also thank you for listing those affirmations.❤️

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Flamingo, Rosehip, Peony, Carrot, Zinnia, Honey , sea foam , silver sage, honey dew , ivory. I might order some others but this is the plan . Warm colors (pinks, yellows, reds ) for the flowers and the cool colors (green and blues) for the connecting circles . ✨🧶💕

I have found a facebook page I'm going to get the affermations from.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Great 🤗🧶❤️

[@SuzanneStutzle]

I always think I would like to crochet a temperature blanket but I don't know where to start with the colour selections. Do you have four or so colours for each season? I live in Brisbane Australia and there is not a big change or drops in temperatures throughout the year. Summer is between 29 celsius to 35, 36 celsius with the odd 39, 40 celsius. Winter is between 15 to 23 or 24 celsius during the day. It might drop down to 3 celsius around 4 or 5 am but rises quickly. Do you go by the daily temperature? I'd love to be able to work all that out. Is it yellows and greens or something for summer days? Are storms included or just temperatures? It never snows during winter so what do I do? Cool blue for days on end? Sounds boring. What is your opinion please?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Great questions and really the answer to that is yes . Meaning , yes you can handle it in all the ways you mentioned . I’d recommend you check out the love crafts link that I mentioned in the video (link in description box) to give you an overview on how to get started . You’ll see examples there . Since your temps don’t change that much, you could narrow down the temperature ranges . To help give it variety , maybe you could include extra colors /shades to represent cloudy, windy, rainy days in each season/category. Instead of focusing purely on the temperature, you could divide it into seasonal categories. Spring : greens and pastels Summer: warm yellow and reds Fall: oranges and browns Winter: blues and grays Really , you can do it however you like . I’d recommend you just sit with it and jot down your temps like you did here . Pick colors you like for those ranges and incorporate the seasonal changes and weather for that day. Your blanket , your rules 🧶✨ Hope that helped. To be fair, I’ve never made one either because I live in the south of the US and there’s not much of a variety here either. But there’s always a way to get creative with it .

[@SuzanneStutzle]

@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you so much for your great reply. You have certainly started my thought process to be thinking more clearly about all this. My blanket the Brisbane Aussie Way. haha. You have helped me to know how to work it out. Phew. Love your videos.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@SuzanneStutzle So glad! There are a lot of examples out there and I bet if you even searched "Temperature blanket Australia " something would pop up. Good luck with whatever you decide!

[@eli3726]

Do you create one flower every day or crochet a bunch of the in different colors and add as your feeling goes? Also great tutorial and helping tips which are very useful. 😊

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi - I’m doing one a day , along with pulling an oracle card that I use to also inspire color choice. Totally random. That might change as the year progresses, but that’s what is enjoyable right now 🧶💕

[@eli3726]

@PlayHookywithMe where do you get yout oracle cards from?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@ unfortunately, the ones I’m using are discontinued. I just checked on Amazon. But there are some other great options on Amazon. I’d recommend looking at “oracle cards” , “daily affirmation cards” etc and you’ll find a set that suits you .
