Let’s make a beautiful Crochet Flower Square Motif! I’ll walk you through it step-by-step. This pattern assumes you know basic crochet stitches like chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), and treble crochet (tr). If not, I can explain those too!
🌸 Materials Needed
- Yarn (choose your favorite colors — one for the flower, one for the background square)
- Crochet hook (size appropriate for your yarn)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
🌸 Step 1: Crochet the Flower Center
- Magic ring (or ch 4, join with sl st to form a ring).
- Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), work 11 dc into the ring. Join with sl st to top of beginning ch 3. (12 stitches total)
🌸 Step 2: Create the Flower Petals
- Round 2: Ch 2 (counts as first hdc), in the same stitch: 1 dc, 1 tr, 1 dc, 1 hdc.
- Sl st into the next stitch. Repeat this petal pattern 5 more times (6 petals in total). Fasten off and change color for the square.
🌸 Step 3: Turn the Flower into a Square
- Round 3: Join new yarn between any two petals with a sl st. Ch 3 (counts as first dc), work 2 dc in the same space.
- In the next gap between petals: Work 3 dc. Repeat around (6 sets of 3 dc clusters). Join with sl st.
- Round 4: Now, let’s define the corners:
- Start in any space between clusters, ch 3, 2 dc in the same space.
- Corner: In the next space, 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc (this creates the corner).
- Repeat: 3 dc in next space, corner — 4 times total.
- Finish with a sl st to the starting ch 3.
🌸 Step 4: Finishing Touches
- Optional: Add another border row of sc or hdc for a clean edge.
- Weave in ends securely with a yarn needle.
🌸 Ideas for Use
- Join multiple flower squares into a blanket or pillow cover.
- Make coasters, placemats, or even a bag!
Would you like me to draw up a chart for this, or customize it with a specific yarn weight or stitch? 🌼✨
