To make this addition to your wide border - start at the beginning bar
attach and chain 4 then attach to the next bar.  Do this all the way around 
until you complete the double-layer border.


If you look very closely you will see a line of stitches that adds texture to the blanket.
Plan ahead the distance between each line.  Then you can determine how far apart to make your bright pink lines.  Attach to the beginning under two threads, chain 4 then attach to the next two threads.  Do this all the way across the length of the lap blanket.  Cut your thread and close the stitch leave a string to weave in. Go back to the beginning and attach again. Spacing as you have planned to keep the rows evenly apart.  I made seven rows.

3rd Update





Finished - Yay!

Make all your flowers.  Spread your blanket across your table or the floor.
Put your flowers in the order you want them.  Sew each one on and put a little bit of glue onto the center of each flower. Let it dry.  Weave in all your strings.  Weave it in by making two or three turns.  it makes it harder to come loose.

your flowers like mine or 
you can arrange them differently.


I made the flowers on this.

Yarn
I Love This Yarn
.Metallic Peacock
.Royalty Sparkle Metallic
From: Hobby Lobby

Crochet Hook  Size P
Two Yarn Threads Thick

Beads
15 18mm Silver Plated Metal Heart Beads
Sew on and glue 


To sew on these beads use matching thread 
and a regular needle. I do not tie a knot yet, leave around 1 and 1half  to 2 inches of thread out rather than tieing a knot.  Keep the thread doubled.
Sew from right to left of the bead.  
*With your needle grab yarn one-fourth inch from the entrance. Then go through the bead going out
the exit and grab one-fourth of yarn then pull upwards on the needle and thread.  Work the thread under the bead.  Then bring the needle back to the entrance and repeat *   2X.
Now wrap the thread around the bead edges pull securely 2X.  Then make a small stitch just under the entrance 3X layer. Take your needle through the last loop to knot it.  This is to secure it.  You should see no threads.  Now use the jewel glue under the bead.  Use the back of your yarn needle to apply the glue then clean your needle. Put pressure onto the bead for a few seconds.  Move onto the next bead.
