How to Make Beautiful Popcorn Flower Granny Squares

Introduction Welcome to the Blossom Crochet Channel! In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating stunning popcorn flower granny squares. If you've been following my popcorn flower tutorial, this is the perfect way to transform your flowers into beautiful granny squares that can be used to make blankets, bags, and more.

Overview of Popcorn Flower Granny Squares Before we dive into the tutorial, let's take a moment to understand what popcorn flower granny squares are. These squares are made by combining popcorn flowers, which are crocheted floral motifs, with traditional granny square techniques. The result is a unique and visually appealing square that can be used in various crochet projects.

Supplies Needed To create popcorn flower granny squares, you'll need a few supplies. Here's a list of what you'll need:

• Yarn (in your choice of colors)
• Crochet hook (appropriate size for your yarn)
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)

Tutorial on Making Popcorn Flowers Before we can start making the granny squares, you'll need to have your popcorn flowers ready. If you haven't made them yet, don't worry! I have a separate tutorial on my channel that shows you step-by-step how to make the popcorn flowers. You can find the link in the description box or as a pinned comment below the video.

How to Square Off the Granny Squares Once you have your popcorn flowers completed, it's time to square off the granny squares. We will start by creating a solid, rounded shape and then transition into a slightly more lacy round for the finishing touch. Follow these steps to square off your granny squares:

1. Begin with a slip knot on your hook, using a contrasting color yarn to your popcorn flowers.
2. Work in the spaces between the popcorn stitches, starting with a standing UK treble (or standing US double) stitch.
3. Put two more trebles into the same space to form the corner.
4. Continue by putting three half trebles (or half doubles) into the chain one spaces between the petals of the popcorn flower.
5. Repeat step 4 for the next set of chain one spaces between petals.
6. Create a proper corner by doing three trebles, followed by chain three, and three trebles back into the same space.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the remaining sets of chain one spaces between petals and corners.
8. Finish off the corner by putting three trebles into the final corner space and chain three.
9. Slip stitch to join to the top of the first standing treble stitch.

Adding a Lacy Round to Finish the Square To give your granny squares a delicate and lacy appearance, we will add another round. Follow these steps:

1. Slip stitch back into the corner space.
2. Chain two, which counts as the first UK treble stitch.
3. Do one treble into the same space.
4. Chain one and skip to the space between the groups of three trebles.
5. Do two trebles into this space.
6. Chain one and skip to the next space between groups of three trebles.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you reach the corner.
8. In the corner space, do two trebles, chain three, and two trebles.
9. Continue steps 5-8 for the remaining spaces and corners.
10. Slip stitch to join to the top of the chain two.

Joining Your Granny Squares Once you have multiple popcorn flower granny squares, you can start joining them together to create larger projects. There are various methods of joining squares, and you can find links to different joining tutorials in the description box of this video. Feel free to explore different variations or search for other joining methods on YouTube.

Different Variations of Joining Methods When it comes to joining your granny squares, the possibilities are endless. Here are a few variations to consider:

• Whipstitch: This is a simple and common joining method where you sew the squares together using a whipstitch.
• Slip Stitch Join: This method creates a decorative seam by slip stitching the squares together.
• Single Crochet Join: Using single crochet stitches, you can join the squares together while adding a border simultaneously.
• Crochet-As-You-Go Join: This technique allows you to join squares as you crochet them, eliminating the need for sewing.
