That’s a beautiful crochet flower granny square — it combines textured petals with classic granny square corners. 🌸
Here’s a step-by-step tutorial so you can make it:
🧶 MATERIALS
- Yarn: 3–4 colors (for example: green for leaves, blue for flower, white for background, and light green for border)
- Hook: 4.0 mm (or size suitable for your yarn)
- Scissors and yarn needle for finishing
Stitches used:
- ch = chain
- sl st = slip stitch
- sc = single crochet
- hdc = half double crochet
- dc = double crochet
- tr = treble crochet
- puff st = puff stitch (yarn over, insert hook, pull up a loop 3–4 times, yarn over, pull through all loops)
🌼 ROUND-BY-ROUND INSTRUCTIONS
🌸 Round 1 – Flower Center
- Make a magic ring.
- Ch 2 (counts as first dc).
- Work 11 dc into the ring (12 dc total).
- Join with a sl st to top of beginning ch-2.
- Fasten off and change to petal color (blue or turquoise).
🌸 Round 2 – Flower Petals
- Join new color in any dc.
- (Ch 2, puff stitch in same st, ch 2, sl st in next dc) repeat around.
- You’ll have 12 puff petals.
- Join with sl st to base of first petal.
- Fasten off.
💡 Tip: Keep the petals puffy and slightly loose so they layer nicely.
🌿 Round 3 – Leaf Layer (Behind Petals)
- Turn your work to the back of the flower.
- Join green yarn into the back loop of any dc from Round 1.
- Ch 4 (counts as tr), tr in same st, ch 2, 2 tr in next back loop, repeat around.
- Join with a sl st.
- You should have 12 “leaf” shapes forming behind the flower.
- Fasten off and turn to the front again.
🧩 Round 4 – Forming the Square
- Attach white yarn in any ch-2 space between green leaves.
- Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into same space (first corner made).
- (3 dc in next space) × 2 times, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next space (corner).
- Continue this pattern around (you’ll have 4 corners total).
- Join with sl st to top of beginning ch-3.
- Fasten off.
💚 Round 5 – Border
- Join light green yarn in any corner ch-2 space.
- Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in corner space.
- (3 dc in each space between clusters) along the sides.
- Repeat for all sides and corners.
- Join with sl st, cut yarn, and weave in ends.
✅ FINAL TOUCH
- Block your square gently (steam or pin flat).
- Join multiple squares with slip stitch or whip stitch for a blanket, cushion, or bag.
