🌼 PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS

🌸 ROUND 1: Flower Center (Color A)

1. Start with a magic ring, or alternatively:

   • Ch 4, sl st into first ch to form a ring.

2. Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then work 11 dc into the ring.

3. Sl st to top of beginning ch 3 to join.
   → You should have 12 dc total (including the starting ch-3).

Fasten off Color A.

🧵 Tip: Pull the tail to tighten the magic ring securely.

🌸 ROUND 2: Flower Petals (Color B)

1. Attach Color B with a sl st to the top of any dc from Round 1.

2. For each petal:
   (Ch 2, tr, ch 2, sl st) all in the same DC.

3. Repeat this petal stitch in each of the 12 dc around.
   → You’ll have 12 petals, each worked into a dc from Round 1.

4. Sl st to the base of the first pedal to finish the round.

Fasten off Color B.

🧵 Note: Your flower should now look like a daisy with a round center and 12 delicate petals.

🟩 ROUND 3: Turn Flower into a Square (Color C)

Now you’ll start building the square shape around the flower.

1. Join Color C in the space between two petals (not in the stitches themselves, but in the gap between the petal bases).

2. Ch 3 (counts as first dc), work 2 dc in same sp.

3. In the next 2 spaces, work 3 dc in each.

4. In the 4th space (which will become a corner), work:
   (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).

5. Repeat steps 2–4 three more times:

   • 3 dc in next 3 spaces,

   • Corner: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)

6. You’ll now have a square with 4 corners and 4 sides.

7. Sl st to the top of the beginning ch-3 to close the round.

🧵 You now have the basic flower granny square shape!

⬛ ROUND 4: Continue Square (Optional for Larger Square)

1. Sl st to the corner ch-2 space.

2. Ch 3 (counts as dc), work (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the corner.

3. Along the side:

   • Work 3 dc into each space between clusters from the previous round.

4. In the next corner, ch-2 sp, repeat:
   (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).

5. Continue this pattern all the way around:

   • 3 dc in each space between clusters

   • Corners: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)

6. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3.

Repeat this round if you want an even larger square – keep adding rounds until the square reaches the desired size.

🧶 FINISHING OFF

• Fasten off and weave in all yarn tails with a yarn needle.

• Steam or wet block squares to flatten and shape before joining.

💡 JOINING METHODS

Once you have multiple squares, you can join them using a few different methods:

1. Whip Stitch (using yarn needle) – Invisible, neat, good for flat joins.

2. Slip Stitch Join – Place squares right sides together and sl st through back loops only.

3. Join-As-You-Go (JAYGO) – Attach new squares to existing ones while crocheting the last round.

🎨 CUSTOMIZATION TIPS

• Use variegated yarn for the petals to create a multicolored floral effect.

• Make every flower different for a “wild garden” look.

• Try using puff stitches instead of treble crochets for thicker petals.

• You can make larger flowers by increasing the number of petals (e.g., 16 dc in Round 1 for 16 petals in Round 2).

• Turn these squares into bags, pillows, shawls, or coasters.

🛏️ PROJECT IDEAS

• Blanket/Throw: Create dozens of squares, then arrange them in rows.

• Bag or Purse: Make 10–12 squares, join and add a strap.

• Pillow Cover: Join 4 large squares for the front, 4 for the back.

• Wall Hanging: Line up colorful squares and attach them to a wooden dowel.
