Introduction

Crocheting beautiful flower squares is a fun and creative way to showcase your crochet skills. In this tutorial, I will show you step by step how to crochet a stunning flower square using three different colors. You can customize the colors according to your preference and use the square for various projects. So grab your crochet hook and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have the following materials:

• Yarn: Choose three different colors of yarn to create a vibrant flower square. You can use more or fewer colors depending on your preference.
• Crochet Hook: Use a 3mm crochet hook to achieve the desired tension and stitch size for your flower square.
• Scissors: Keep a pair of scissors handy to cut the yarn when changing colors or finishing the square.

Step 1: Making a Slip Knot

To start crocheting your flower square, you'll need to make a slip knot. There are various methods to make a slip knot, so feel free to use the one you find most comfortable. Once you have made the slip knot, pull the yarn through to create a loop on your hook.

Step 2: Making the Circle

Now that you have your slip knot, it's time to make the circle. Begin by chaining eight stitches. Then, make a slip stitch into the fourth chain you made to create a circle. This will serve as the center of your flower square.

Step 3: Round 1 - Making Double Crochets

In round 1, we will be making double crochets. Start by chaining four, which will count as the first double crochet and one chain space. Make a double crochet into the same circle. Chain one and repeat this process until you have a total of 12 stitches around the circle.

Step 4: Round 2 - Making Cluster Stitches

In round 2, we will be making cluster stitches. Switch to your second color (Color B) and insert your hook into any chain one space. Create a beginning cluster stitch by chaining three and pulling through all the loops on the hook. Next, chain two and make a cluster stitch into the next chain one space. Repeat this pattern until you complete round 2.

Step 5: Round 3 - Adding Color C

For round 3, change to your third color (Color C) and make a slip knot. Insert your hook into any chain two space and pull the loop through. Make a single crochet into the same chain two space, followed by five double crochets, chain five, and five more double crochets into the same space. Repeat this pattern around the square.

Step 6: Repeat the Pattern

Continue repeating the pattern of round 3 until you achieve the desired size for your flower square. Feel free to experiment with different color combinations and stitch variations to create unique designs.
