Easy to make crochet flower granny square

That’s a crochet flower granny square β€” often called a Sunburst or Daisy Granny Square. 🌸
Here’s how you can make one like in your image (pink center with cream border):


🧢 MATERIALS

  • Yarn: 2 colors (pink for flower center, cream/white for outer part)
  • Hook: 4.0 mm (or size recommended for your yarn)
  • Other: Scissors, yarn needle

🌸 STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL

Round 1 β€” Flower Center

  1. Start: Make a magic ring (or chain 4 and join with slip stitch to form a ring).
  2. Chain 2 (counts as first double crochet).
  3. Work 15 double crochets (dc) into the ring.
    β†’ You will have 16 dc total (counting the beginning ch-2 as one dc).
  4. Pull the ring tight, then join with a slip stitch to the top of the first dc.
  5. Fasten off the pink yarn.

πŸ’‘ Tip: This round forms a tight pink circle β€” the base for the petals.


Round 2 β€” Petal Layer

  1. Attach the pink yarn again (or continue if you didn’t fasten off).
  2. In the first stitch:
    • Work (1 sc, ch 2, 2 tr, ch 2, 1 sc) β€” this forms one petal.
  3. Skip 1 stitch.
  4. Repeat the petal pattern (sc, ch 2, 2 tr, ch 2, sc) in every other stitch around.
    β†’ You will make 8 petals total.
  5. Join with slip stitch to the first sc.
  6. Fasten off pink yarn.

πŸ’‘ Each petal sits on 2 dc from Round 1 and skips one between them.


Round 3 β€” First Cream Layer

  1. Attach the cream yarn into any ch-2 space between petals.
  2. (Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in that same space β†’ this is your first corner.
  3. In the next ch-2 space, make 3 dc (no chain).
  4. Continue alternating around:
    • (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next space (corner)
    • 3 dc in next space (side)
  5. When you have 4 corners, join with slip stitch to top of starting ch-3.

πŸ’‘ Your square will begin to take shape now, but edges are still slightly rounded.


Round 4 β€” Build the Square Shape

  1. Slip stitch over to the next corner ch-2 space.
  2. Work (ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in that same corner space.
  3. In each side space between clusters, work 3 dc.
  4. In each corner space, work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
  5. Repeat this pattern all the way around.
  6. Join with a slip stitch to the top of starting ch-3.
  7. Fasten off and weave in all yarn ends.

πŸ’‘ Now the piece should look like the photo β€” pink flower center with four cream clusters forming corners.


Optional Round 5 β€” Border (for clean edge)

  1. Join cream yarn in any stitch.
  2. Work 1 sc in each stitch around the square.
  3. In each corner, work (1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc).
  4. Join and fasten off.

πŸ’‘ This creates a neat border and helps flatten the square.


Blocking

  • Lightly wet or steam the square and pin it into a perfect square shape.
  • Let it dry completely.

βœ… Finished Size

Using medium-weight yarn and 4 mm hook β†’ about 10–12 cm (4–4.5 in) square.
