Another edged flannel for my sister's baby and I wanted to echo the impressionistic flowers on the blanket. Some were three petaled and some were four, so this is what I came up with!
Materials:
Size 10 crochet thread
Size 7 crochet hook 1.65 mm
Stitches:
3 cluster flower: *Ch 3, (yo twice, yo and pull through two loops, yo and pull through two loops) twice in first ch, yo and pull through all three loops on hook, ch 3 and sl st in first ch.* Rep between * twice more to result in three petals in a row.
4 cluster flower: *Ch 3, (yo twice, yo and pull through two loops, yo and pull through two loops) twice in first ch, yo and pull through all three loops on hook, ch 3 and sl st in first ch.* Rep between * three more times to result in four petals in a row.
Round 1: Sc around, sl st in first sc.
Round 2: *3 cluster flower then sl st to complete flower in same st, sc in next 8 sc, sl st in next sc and begin 4 cluster flower then sl st to complete flower in same sc, sc in next 8 sc* rep from * around.
Patterns I have designed. Free for you! Make them, sell the results, heck, sell the pattern, I'm sure I'll never know! If you wanna give me credit, that'd be awesome.

Turtle edging
Again with the not so awesome photo, it's not easy to see but the edging looks like little marching turtles with a body, a head and little legs. I apologize for the pattern, I made up a stitch to get the legs to look right, sorry if it's not entirely clear. I plan to post a video of the stitch.
In between the turtles, you can do as many sc to separate them - I started with 3 but then decided to spread them out more to 6 on the next side of the blanket to save some yarn and also so the turtles could be seen a little better. So I did two sides with them close and two with them a bit farther away.
Materials:
Size 10 crochet thread
Size 7 hook 1.65
Turtle leg stitch: Begin as for a tr, yo twice, insert hook in indicated stitch, yo and pull through loop, yo and pull through two loops on hook - now ignoring remaining loops on hook, ch 6 then sl st in first ch while also pulling through next loop on hook, yo and pull through last two loops on hook to complete tr.
Cluster stitch: (Yo, insert hook in indicated st, pull through 2 loops) 3 times, yo and pull through all 4 loops on hook. 3 dc cluster.
Round 1: Sc around, sl st in 1st sc.
Round 2: Ch 1, sc in same st, *sk 2 sc, 8 tr in third sc with turtle leg stitch in first and last tr, sk 2 sc, sl st in next sc, ch 2 then cluster in same sc, sl st in next sc, sc in next 3 (or 6) sc* rep from * around.

Star edging
This isn't the best picture, I'm a horrible photographer.
I was edging some flannel and wanted to echo the star motif on the blanket, so this is what I came up with.
Materials:
Size 10-30 thread (model done with size 30 thread)
Size 7 hook 1.65 mm
Cluster: *Yo, insert in indicated st and pull up loop, yo and pull through two loops on hook*, rep twice more, yo and pull through all 4 loops on hook - three dc clustered together.
Round 1: Sc around.
Round 2: *Ch 3, cluster in next sc, ch 3, cluster in first ch, sk 3 sc and sl st in next sc, rep from * around.
Round 3: *Ch 3, cluster in sp between top of two clusters on row 2, ch 3, cluster in same space, ch 3, cluster in same space*, rep in between top of each pair of clusters in row 2.
