A beautiful but simple Granny Square with an Aster Flower in the center. As described the Granny Square is about 4.5 inches wide, however you could make any size you like. This uses #5 Pearl Cotton for an extra lacy appearance.

Yarn: Pearl Cotton #5. Make sure you are buying the #5. I used Craftways Pearl Cotton. For the center top I used #517 Dark Goldenrod. For the center back (not pictured) #431 Very Light Forest Green.

Flower Petals, #342 Dark Powdered Blue, (second) #323 Light Antique Blue, (third) #235 Light Periwinkle Purple, (bottom) #223 Light Purple. These are close to the ‘standard’ colors the real flower blooms in.
