That's how it's done:

The blanket is made up of individual granny squares, making the size of your blanket completely variable. Our information refers to a blanket of 49 granny squares (7 x 7), which gives a size of 95 x 95 cm. A Granny Square is about 11.5 x 11.5 cm tall.

1. Crochet a total of 49 Granny Squares (consisting of 5 rounds) using needle size 3.5-4.5 using the following color distributions:

24x - 1st to 5th rounds: in A.
8x - 1st round in B, 2nd and 3rd round in A, 4th and 5th round in C
8x - 1st round in B, 2nd and 3rd round in A, 4th and 5th round in D
5x - 1st round in B, 2nd and 3rd round in A, 4th and 5th round in E
4 x - 1st round in B, 2nd and 3rd round in A, 4th and 5th round in C

Start with 4 airmiles and close the sts with 1 sl st in the ring and work the 1st round crochet pattern. Reshare to the beginning of each new Rd with the appropriate color, close each round with 1 sl st. Work according to crochet scripture 2 with needle no. 3-4 in Fb B 25 hearts, starting with 1 thread loop. The thin gray line indicates the transition from the 1st to the 2nd round.

2nd completion:

Sew hearts in the middle of the multicolored granny squares. Crochet the granny squares together with needle size 3.5-4.5 to the blanket by first crocheting together 7 granny squares (alternately one and more colors, offset in the next row). Place the corresponding Granny Squares on the right side on the right side and crochet them together in a matching color with a fixed M, while only gripping the outer cuttings of both Granny Squares. Then crochet the rows together to the blanket, at the same time crossing over the crossing points with 1 Luftm. Using color nature and needle size 3.5-4.5, crochet the top with 1 round solid M, replacing the 1st solid M with 1 air and working 3 solid sts in the air bends at the corners. Close the round with 1 sl st. Continue with 3 airm to the next round, crochet in each M 1 tr, in the corner-M each work 5 tr. Close the round with 1 sl st in the top of the 3 start airm. Crochet one round of bows with the color poppy seeds: * Crochet 4 rounds of air, work 2 dc, work 1 solid st, repeat from * continuously, round with 1 sl st in ankett airm. If the existing M-number is not divisible by 3, go to balance 1 x or 2 x only 1 tr.
