How to Make a Crochet Square with 3D Flower Center

Introduction:

Crochet squares are versatile and can be used for various projects like blankets, scarves, and more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making a crochet square with a 3D flower center. This unique square combines the beauty of a mandala with the simplicity of a classic granny square. With just a few materials and some basic crochet stitches, you can create a stunning square that will add a touch of elegance to your projects.

Materials and Tools:

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials and tools you'll need:

1. Catania yarn (or any other yarn of your choice)
2. 3 mm crochet hook
3. Scissors
4. Yarn needle

Step 1: Making a Magic Ring

To start the crochet square, we will create a magic ring. This technique allows us to crochet in a continuous round without leaving any gaps. Follow these steps:

1. Hold the end of the yarn between your thumb and middle finger, leaving a small tail.
2. Wrap the yarn around your index and middle fingers, crossing it over the tail.
3. Insert your crochet hook under the first strand of yarn, pulling it through the loop.
4. Chain 2 to secure the ring.

Step 2: Working Round 1

In this step, we will work 4 double crochet stitches (dc) into the magic ring, creating a popcorn stitch. This stitch will form the center of our 3D flower. Follow these steps:

1. Yarn over, insert your hook into the magic ring, and pull up a loop.
2. Yarn over again and pull through 2 loops on your hook.
3. Repeat the previous step 3 more times, until you have 5 loops on your hook.
4. Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops.
5. Chain 2 to secure the popcorn stitch.
6. Repeat the popcorn stitch and chain 2 sequence for a total of 6 times.
7. Close the round with a slip stitch in the first popcorn stitch.

Step 3: Changing Color and Working Round 2

To add some color to our crochet square, we will change yarn at this point. Follow these steps:

1. Close the magic ring by pulling the tail end of the yarn.
2. Cut the yarn, leaving a small tail.
3. Attach the new color by making a slip knot with the new yarn.
4. Insert your hook into the slip stitch of the previous round.
5. Pull the new yarn through the stitch, securing it with a slip stitch.
6. Chain 1 to start the round.
7. Work 4 double crochet stitches into the same stitch as the slip stitch.
8. Chain 1 and slip stitch into the next double crochet stitch.
9. Repeat the sequence of slip stitch, chain 1, and 4 double crochet stitches for a total of 6 times.
10. Close the round with a slip stitch in the first chain of the round.

Step 4: Working Round 3

In this step, we will work around the popcorn stitches of round 1 and the double crochet stitches of round 2. Follow these steps:

1. Work 1 double crochet stitch around the popcorn stitch.
2. Chain 1 and work 4 back post single crochet stitches (bpsc) around the 4 double crochet stitches of round 2.
3. Chain 1 and repeat the previous sequence for a total of 6 times.
4. Close the round with a slip stitch in the first double crochet stitch.
5. Slip stitch into the next chain.
