Cut yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread tail through tapestry needle, slip stitches off knitting needle onto the needle, pulling tight to gather. Secure and weave in ends.
Continue knitting flower motifs until you have enough to make a blanket of your desired size.
Arrange the flower motifs in a pleasing pattern on a flat surface.
Using a tapestry needle and yarn scraps, sew the flower motifs together, matching the petals and centers. Take care to sew them securely and weave in any ends as you go.
Once all the motifs are sewn together, weave in any remaining ends and block the blanket by gently wetting it, shaping it to the desired dimensions, and allowing it to air dry completely.
Your beautiful knitted scrap blanket with flower motifs is now complete! Enjoy the cozy warmth and cheerful colors.
