Flower Granny Square

This flower granny square pattern reminds me of my grandma. She used to crochet all the time and one of her favorite things to make was granny squares. She used to knit us all new slippers every Christmas and then two family members per year would receive a crocheted afghan from Ma (that’s what we called her).

I still have mine and I cherish it. It’s a typical granny square and has flowers added to each. This floral granny square is definitely a crochet pattern that she would love. I do too! Here’s the step by step crochet tutorial you need to make your own.

Again work 3 treble crochet into the same stitch. The first corner of our granny square is done.

Step 26: 

Work 3 DC into the next stitch.

Step 27: 

Again work 3 DC crochet into the next 2 stitches.

Step 28: 

Repeat the corner stitch pattern into the next stitch (the 5^th).

Step 29: 

Repeat the 3 DC into the next 3 stitches and corner stitch pattern in the 4^th until the 4 sides of the granny square are covered.

Step 30: 

Insert the hook between the first chain 4 and the first treble stitch and make a slip-stitch. Cut off extra yarn and tuck the remaining yarn on the backside of the crochet pattern to secure the ending.
