🌼 CROCHET FLOWER GRANNY SQUARE (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

🧶 Materials

• Yarn colors:
  • Green – for the flower center
  • Purple – for the petals
  • White – for the background
• Hook size: 3.0 mm or 3.5 mm (use what suits your yarn)
• Scissors and tapestry needle

---

🌸 Step 1: Make the Green Center (Round 1)

1. Make a magic ring.
   If you prefer, chain 5 and join with slip stitch to form a circle.
2. Chain 2 (counts as 1 half double crochet).
3. Work 11 half double crochets (hdc) into the ring.
   → You should have 12 stitches total (including the first ch-2).
4. Slip stitch into the top of the first chain-2 to close the round.
5. Fasten off the green yarn and pull tight to close the ring’s center.

🟢 Tip: The center should be tight and round.

🌸 Step 2: Make the Purple Petals (Round 2)

1. Attach purple yarn in any stitch.
2. In the same stitch:
   • Chain 2,
   • Yarn over, insert hook into the same stitch, pull up a tall loop (~1 cm),
   • Yarn over, insert hook again, pull up another tall loop,
   • Repeat this a third time (you’ll have 7 loops on your hook),
   • Yarn over and pull through all loops at once,
   • Chain 1 to secure the puff.
   🌷 That’s your first petal.
3. Skip 1 stitch, and in the next stitch make another puff stitch the same way.
4. Continue making puff stitches around the circle, skipping one stitch each time. → You’ll have 6 puff petals (if skipping every other stitch) or 12 petals if done in every stitch.
5. Slip stitch into the top of the first puff to close the round.
6. Fasten off the purple yarn and weave in ends.

💜 Tip: Each puff should be fluffy and stand up slightly for a 3D petal look.

🤍 Step 3: Add the White Border (Round 3)

Now we’ll make the background that turns the flower into a square.

1. Attach white yarn in any space between two petals (the small hole).
2. Chain 3 (counts as your first double crochet).
3. In the same space, make 2 more double crochets (dc) → (3 dc cluster made).
4. Chain 1, then move to the next space and make another 3 dc cluster.
5. Repeat (3 dc, ch 1) in each space around the flower.
6. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain-3.

🤍 Tip: The piece is still round at this point — the next round will form corners.

⬜ Step 4: Form the Square (Round 4)

1. Slip stitch to the next chain-1 space.
2. Chain 3 (counts as dc), then 2 dc, chain 2, 3 dc in the same space — this is your first corner.
3. (Chain 1, 3 dc in next space) repeat 2 times.
4. In next space, work 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc — this makes your second corner.
5. Continue this pattern:
   • (Ch 1, 3 dc) twice,
   • (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) for each corner.
6. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain-3.
7. Fasten off and weave in all yarn tails.

🪡 Optional – Step 5: Finishing Touch

• Lightly block your square with steam or by pinning it flat.
• You can join multiple squares using slip stitch or whip stitch for a blanket, pillow, or bag.
