🌼 DETAILED STEP-BY-STEP CROCHET TUTORIAL

(For the Yellow + Turquoise + Cream Granny Square)

---

🧶 Yarn Colors

• A – Yellow
• B – Cream
• C – Turquoise

🔧 Hook

• 3.5 mm – 4.0 mm

---

⭐ ROUND 1 — CENTER (Cream)

1. Make a magic ring.
2. Ch 2 (this stands as your first hdc).
3. Into the magic ring work 11 more hdc → total 12 hdc.
4. Pull the ring tight.
5. Join with sl st into top of ch-2.

👉 You should now have a small tight circle with 12 stitches.

⭐ ROUND 2 — YELLOW PETALS (Color A)

You will create 4 yellow petals, each formed by dc clusters.

1. Attach yellow to any stitch.
2. Petal pattern:
   • Ch 3 (counts as dc)
   • 2 dc in same stitch
   • Ch 1
3. Skip 2 stitches.
4. In the next stitch make again:
   • 3 dc, ch 1
5. Repeat this until you have 4 petals, each separated by skipping 2 stitches.
6. Join with sl st in the first dc.

✔ After this round, it will look like 4 yellow “fan” corners around a circle.

⭐ ROUND 3 — FORMING THE SQUARE (Cream)

This round transforms the circle-with-petals into a square.

Switch to cream (B).

You will be working inside the spaces behind each yellow petal, not into the stitches.

1. Insert hook into first ch-1 yellow space.
2. Corner formula:
   • 3 dc
   • Ch 2
   • 3 dc
3. Next 3 spaces: work 3 dc (no ch-2).
4. Next space = corner again (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
5. Repeat all around.
6. Join with sl st.

✔ Now it looks like a square with yellow petals sitting in each corner.

---

⭐ ROUND 4 — TURQUOISE SIDE ACCENTS (Color C)

This creates the turquoise sections in the middle of each side.

Switch to turquoise (C).

Find the center stitch of each side.
(You will see that each side now has 9 cream stitches → the 5th stitch is the center.)

For each side:

1. Insert hook into the middle stitch.
2. Work:
   • 3 dc
   • Ch 1
   • 3 dc
     (all into the SAME stitch)
3. Move to the next side’s middle stitch and repeat.

✔ After this round:
You now have 4 turquoise blocks, one centered on each side.

---

⭐ ROUND 5 — FINAL BORDER (Cream)

Switch back to cream (B) to create the final clean edge.

Corners will always be:
3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc

1. Start in any corner space.
2. Corner: 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc.
3. Along the sides:
   • Make dc in each stitch.
   • When you reach the turquoise center cluster, work:
     • 1 dc in each of the turquoise stitches (6 stitches total)
4. Continue around the square.
5. Join with sl st.
6. Fasten off and weave in ends.

✔ Now your square will match the photo exactly:
Yellow corners, turquoise mid-sides, cream background.
