This pattern for a granny square with a flower is easy to crochet and easy to adjust to your own style. Just choose the colors that you like and combine them as you want. If you want to get a stylish look, choose one color – natural white or some other light shade. To get a more cheerful look, use contrasting colors but keep them in order. For example, red shades in the center of the granny and blue-green shades up to the edges. And if you choose colors randomly, you can get quite a cheeky look! |

I started making squares to put together for an afghan a year or two ago – finding different pretty squares to join together. I’ve not worked on it in the longest time – it is sitting in my closet. I’m going to make a selection of these in different colors and put them with the other designs in my afghan. Thank you for sharing. It is beautiful!
Wow that’s kewl!!
Thank you for sharing this pretty pattern.
This would be a great stash buster, I have lots of half used skeins to use up. Thank you for this beautiful pattern.
The end of round four is very confusing. Can you clarify?
Hi, Cynthia! The third sl st on round 4 was made in second dc on round 3. So after you’ve made last 5 chs on round 4, insert the hook into the same second dc on round 3 and make sc working over the sl st and the ch that comes after it. Finish the round with a sl st in ch-6 sp (the first sp on the round). The sl st comes to sit at the right side of ch-6 sp. Hope it helps, ask again if not.
Thank you for this pattern. I was looking for beautiful squares to make my first sampler afghan.
