Perfect πΈ β letβs go step by step for this flower granny square pattern (the one in your picture). Iβll describe every stitch slowly so even beginners can follow easily.
π§΅ Materials
- Yarn:
- Center (light brown or beige)
- Petals (yellow)
- Border (green)
- Crochet hook: 3.0β4.0 mm (depending on yarn thickness)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle

πΌ Step 1: Crochet the Center (Round 1)
- Make a Magic Ring
- Wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop.
- Insert the hook into the loop, yarn over, pull through.
- Chain 1 to secure the loop.
- Chain 4
- This counts as 1 double crochet (dc) + 1 chain space.
- (1 dc, ch 1) β repeat 7 times into the ring
- Youβll now have 8 double crochets separated by chain-1 spaces.
- Slip stitch into the 3rd chain of your beginning ch-4 to close the round.
- Pull the yarn tail to tighten the ring.
π€ You now have 8 small spaces around the center.

πΈ Step 2: Make the Yellow Petals (Round 2)
- Attach yellow yarn into any chain-1 space.
- Make a slip knot, insert the hook into the space, yarn over and pull up a loop.
- Chain 2 (counts as 1 dc).
- In the same space:
- Make 3 double crochets (dc).
- Then chain 2.
- Slip stitch into the same space.
β 1 petal made πΌ.
- Move to the next chain-1 space.
- Slip stitch, chain 2, 3 dc, chain 2, slip stitch.
- Repeat step 4 around until you have 8 petals total.
- Slip stitch to the base of the first petal and fasten off yellow yarn.
π‘ Now your flower has 8 rounded petals.

π Step 3: Crochet the Green Background (Round 3)
- Attach green yarn to the top of any petal (in the chain-2 space).
- Chain 3 (counts as 1 dc).
- In the same chain space, work 2 dc, chain 1.
- Between petals, work your corners:
- In the space between two petals, work:
β (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) β this creates a corner.
- In the space between two petals, work:
- Next, in the next petal top space:
- 3 dc, ch 1 (side cluster).
- Repeat this pattern around:
- Corner between petals: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)
- Side on petal top: (3 dc, ch 1)
- Join with slip stitch to the top of beginning ch-3.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
π’ You now have a square with a flower center.

π Step 4: Optional Round (to make it larger)
You can add more rounds around the square:
- Each corner β (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)
- Each side β (3 dc, ch 1) in chain spaces.
