Crochet Flower Granny Square – FREE Crochet Pattern

Today we’re going to make a colorful crochet flower granny square that’s beautiful and fun to make. I wouldn’t exactly call this a beginner pattern. This is more intermediate to advanced, but don’t let that discourage you from trying if you’re a beginner. After all, you have to start trying more advanced patterns some time and now may be as good a time as any!

This is a simple (-ish) 8 petal flower pattern that requires 5 different yarn colors. I love the colorful vibrant look of this flower granny square and I hope you will too.

Flower Granny Square FREE Crochet Pattern Instructions

Color A

1. Make a magic circle
2. Make 8 SC into magic circle. (you may want to use a piece of yarn as a stitch marker here)
3. SS into first stitch and work in Color B.

Color B

1. Ch 3 and DC into first stitch.
2. DC2Tog and Ch one into each stitch around.
3. SS into first stitch (which is a chain 3 from step one) and work in Color C.

Color C

1. SC into first stitch.
2. In the next stitch: SS and Ch 3, DC2Tog, Ch3 then SS all into that one stitch.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 around.
4. At the end of the round SS into first stitch and fasten off Color C.

Color D (has two rounds)

Round 1

1. Loop in Color D
2. SC and Ch 3
3. Now, we’re going to ignore the petals, working behind them into the stitch between the petals. Flip each petal forward as you work if that helps (something I hadn’t thought about doing when I made the video..lol).
   You’re going to SC into the stitch between the first two petals and chain 2. Repeat around.

Round 2

1. SS into first SC
2. Now we’re going to be working in the chain spaces we made in round one.
   Make 3 DC into first chain space, Ch 2 and make another 3 DC into that same chain space and Ch 1. This will make your first corner.
3. In the next chain space make 2DC and Ch 1.
4. Repeat steps 2 -3 around.
5. At the end of the round SS into first DC and fasten off.

Color E

1. Loop in Color E in the Ch one space right before the first corner (essentially about the spot you fastened off).
2. Chain 3 and 2 DC into that same space.
3. In the corner section make 3 DC, Ch2 and another 3 DC.
4. Make 3 DC in the next 2 chain sections.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 around.
6. At the end of the round, fasten off.

And now, you’ve completed your flower granny square!
