this is a crochet flower square motif (petal-style granny square) πΈπ§Ά
Iβll explain it step by step so you can make it even if youβre a beginner.
π§Ά MATERIALS (important)
- Yarn: medium / worsted (size 4)
- Hook: 4.0β5.0 mm
- 3 colors:
- Color A β center (pink)
- Color B β petals (white)
- Color C β outline/spokes (green)

β¨ ROUND 1 β CENTER CIRCLE (Pink)
This creates the flower middle.
- Make a magic ring
- Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet)
- Make 11 double crochet (dc) into the ring
π You now have 12 dc total - Pull the ring tight
- Slip stitch into the top of chain-3
- Cut yarn, fasten off
βοΈ Result: a small flat circle

πΏ ROUND 2 β LONG CHAIN SPOKES (Green)
These chains separate the petals.
- Join green yarn between any 2 dc
- Chain 6
- Slip stitch into the next dc
- Repeat all around:
- ch 6
- sl st in next dc
π You will have 12 chain-6 loops
- Slip stitch to first join
- Do NOT cut yarn yet
βοΈ Result: looks like a sun with long rays
πΈ ROUND 3 β BIG FLOWER PETALS (White)
Each petal goes inside one chain loop
For EACH chain-6 space:
- Single crochet (sc)
- Half double crochet (hdc)
- 2 double crochet (dc)

Repeat in all 12 chain spaces
After last petal:

- Fasten off white yarn
βοΈ Result: full round flower with thick raised petals

π² ROUND 4 β FORM THE SQUARE (Green)
Now we turn the flower into a square.
