Dusty Rose Bloom Throw

Wrap yourself in the warmth of the Dusty Rose Bloom Throw, a stunning circular blanket that radiates comfort from the very first stitch. Worked from the center outward, this project grows beautifully into a generous, huggable size.

Designed with the WithMe palette in mind, it transitions softly from warm cream to blush, then into a rich dusty rose, finished with a crisp sage green edge. The subtle ribbed texture adds a modern, cozy touch without overwhelming the drape.

Perfect for confident beginners and intermediate makers alike, this blanket is a labor of love that makes a truly special, giftable heirloom.

1. Join Sage Green for round 22. Fasten off at the end of round 25.

5. WithMe signature heart

The same little heart sits on every WithMe original — our way of signing it with love. Use any contrast colour from the project.

• Round 1: 3 tr, 3 dc, ch, tr, ch, 3 dc, 3 tr in a magic ring [15] — Ch 3 first (it doesn't count as a stitch). After the last stitch, ch 3 and sl st into the ring, then pull the ring tight — the dip at the top of the heart forms as you pull.

1. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing the heart in place.

Finishing

1. Weave in all loose ends securely on the wrong side of the work.
2. Sew the WithMe signature heart on the right side, centered in the dusty rose section, approximately 6 inches from the outer edge.
3. Block the blanket to a perfect circle by pinning it flat on a soft surface and lightly steaming, if desired.

Tips from the WithMe studio

• Use a locking stitch marker to keep track of your first stitch, as it can be easy to lose in the increases.
• If your circle begins to curl like a bowl, your tension may be too tight or you missed an increase. Gently stretch the fabric to relax the stitches.
• When changing colors, pull the new color through the last loop of the old color to create a clean, seamless transition.
