Granny Square Flower Pattern:
Round 1:
To start, make a slip knot onto your hook and chain five. Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring. Single crochet into the ring, then chain four. Continue single crocheting into the ring followed by chaining four until you have a total of eight petals. Slip stitch into the beginning stitch and fasten off.
Round 2:
Attach a new color by making a slip knot onto your hook and placing it in between the petals. Single crochet into the space, then chain four. Single crochet in between the next two petals and chain four. Repeat this around until you reach the beginning. Slip stitch into the starting space and continue.
Round 3:
Slip stitch into the space in between the corner and the three double crochets. Chain three and work two double crochets. In the corner, work three double crochets, chain three, and three double crochets. Repeat this pattern around the granny square.
Round 4 and Beyond:
To continue increasing the granny square, slip stitch into the space between the corner and the three double crochets. Chain three and work two double crochets. Work three double crochets in the corner, followed by chain three and three double crochets. Repeat this pattern to increase the size of the granny square.
Making the Granny Square:
Once you have completed the flower pattern, it's time to create the granny square around it. Slip stitch back into the space between the corner and the three double crochets. Chain three and work two double crochets. Repeat this pattern to create additional rounds of the granny square. Continue increasing by adding three double crochets in each corner.
Finishing Touches:
When you are satisfied with the size of your granny square, slip stitch into the chain three and fasten off. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends on the back of your work. Repeat this process for each color change or when you have completed the entire project.
