Crochet Motifs: Dainty Daisy Granny Square

Crochet is an art form, a passion, a therapy, whatever you want to call it, to me it is the most fun you can have with yarn. So, let’s continue to create yarn magic, one stitch at a time! Today we are going to learn the Dainty Daisy Granny Square, which is a beautiful crochet motif! The daisy granny square is not only a perfect idea for an afghan or pillow, but it can also be a perfect gift idea or a… painting! Imagination has no limits, so let us start! This particular realization was built using light pink, orchid, lavender, raspberry, magenta, cyclamen and different shades of red. After all, a crocheter’s creativity and the color palette has no limits. Let’s dive in!

You’ll need:

Soft yarn in colors Yellow (sunshine), Soft Green and White (amounts will vary depending on how many squares you make)

Crochet hook (I use 5.0 mm)

Instructions

Pattern

Flower center

Start with Yellow (Sunshine) color.

Round 1: In magic loop, ch1 (does not count as a stitch), and make 8 sc, join round with 1st sc using a sl st (8)

Cut yarn, fasten off.

Tip: Make your squares in batches of 5 or 10. Meaning, make 5 or 10 of the flower centers at a time before moving onto the second and third rounds. Batching your squares will help you move forward on your project quicker because you get the instant gratification of completing a bunch of squares at once!

Flower petals

Attach white color in any stitch

Round 2: First petal (note this differs slightly from the proceeding petals)

Chain 3, *YO, insert hook into stitch, draw up a loop, YO, pull through 1st two loops on hook; repeat from * 2 more times into the same stitch. YO, pull through all 4 loops on hook. Chain 2.

Remaining Petals – in next stitch: *YO, insert hook into stitch, draw up a loop, YO, pull through 1st two loops on hook; repeat from * 3 more times into the same stitch. YO, pull through all 5 loops on hook. Chain 2.

Repeat the above Remaining Petals instructions 6 more times.

You should now have 8 petals.

Join with 1st petal of the round with a slip stitch.

Cut yarn and fasten off.

Granny Border

Round 3: In any chain space, attach Soft Green and chain 5 (counts as a dc and ch2), make 3 dc in same space, make 3 hdc in next ch space, *(make 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next ch sp, make 3 hdc in next ch sp; repeat from * 2 more times; make 2 dc in 1st corner stitch, join round using slip stitch into the 3rd ch of the starting ch, sl st into ch sp.

Cut yarn and fasten off.
