Easy to make crochet flower granny square

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

  1. Make a magic ring.
  2. Ch 2 (counts as first dc).
  3. Work 11 dc into the ring (12 dc total).
  4. Join with a sl st to top of beginning ch-2.
  5. Fasten off and change to petal color (blue or turquoise).

🌸 Round 2 – Flower Petals

  1. Join new color in any dc.
  2. (Ch 2, puff stitch in same st, ch 2, sl st in next dc) repeat around.
    • You’ll have 12 puff petals.
  3. Join with sl st to base of first petal.
  4. Fasten off.

💡 Tip: Keep the petals puffy and slightly loose so they layer nicely.


🌿 Round 3 – Leaf Layer (Behind Petals)

  2. Join green yarn into the back loop of any dc from Round 1.
  3. Ch 4 (counts as tr), tr in same st, ch 2, 2 tr in next back loop, repeat around.
  4. Join with a sl st.
    • You should have 12 “leaf” shapes forming behind the flower.
  5. Fasten off and turn to the front again.

🧩 Round 4 – Forming the Square

  1. Attach white yarn in any ch-2 space between green leaves.
  2. Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into same space (first corner made).
  3. (3 dc in next space) × 2 times, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next space (corner).
  4. Continue this pattern around (you’ll have 4 corners total).
  5. Join with sl st to top of beginning ch-3.
  6. Fasten off.
