🌸 Floral Granny Square Crochet Pattern (Detailed)
🧶 Materials:
- 4–5 yarn colors (DK or light worsted)
- 3.5 mm–4 mm crochet hook
- Scissors

📏 Stitches Used:
| Abbreviation | Meaning |
|---|---|

✨ Pattern Instructions:
🌸 Center Flower (Round 1)
- Magic ring (or ch 5, sl st to form ring).
- Ch 3 (counts as dc), work 11 dc into ring.
- Sl st to top of ch-3.
[12 dc total]
🌸 Petal Round (Round 2)
- Join new color in any st.
- In each st around:
- (Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, sl st) — this makes one petal.
- Repeat in every stitch.
[12 petals]
Tip: Skip one or two stitches between petals if you want fewer or more prominent petals.
🌸 Surrounding Clusters (Round 3)
- Join new color in any space between petals.
- Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in same sp.
- In next sp: 3 dc.
- Continue around, placing 3 dc in each sp between petals.
- Join with sl st to top of ch-3.
🌸 Corner Formation (Round 4)
Switch to a new color.
- Start in any sp between 3-dc clusters.
- Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc — this makes a corner.
- 3 dc in next 2 spaces.
- Repeat corner and sides pattern around.
- Sl st to top of ch-3.
Now your square shape is forming.
🌸 Outline Detailing (Round 5)
This is the round where your square gets its distinct outline, like the green and dark red lines in your image.
- Join outline color in any corner sp.
- Ch 1, sc in each dc.
- In corner sps: (sc, ch 2, sc).
- You can also work long treble crochets (tr) diagonally over previous rounds for crisscross detailing.
Example: To make that crisscross line:
- From one corner, ch 3, tr into a middle dc from round 3 diagonally across the square, ch 3, sl st back into corner sp.
🌸 Final Border (Round 6)
- Join white (or base color) in any corner.
- Ch 3, dc in each st across.

- Join with sl st to top of ch-3.
📝 Notes:
- Weave in ends with yarn needle.
- Block your squares for uniform shape.
- Join as you go or whip stitch them together for blankets, cushions, or bags.
