This delicate floral 12-inch flower square is based on the Agapanthus Africanus, also known as the African lily, flower, these beauties adorn many gardens in late summer and are often found in tight clusters.
Granny square has a finished size of 30 cm x 30cm and can be worked in a multitude of colors. The pattern is worked in rounds, which start into a magic ring, the first 12 rounds create the flower, and the following rows form the final crochet square.
Difficulty level: Intermediate
Skills required:
Understand the basics of working in the round.
You should be able to understand the basics of joining different yarn colors and how to end and finish rows.
This online version of this pattern is not a step-by-step tutorial, if you wish to get a more detailed version feel free to purchase the photo tutorial/pattern on any of the listed platforms
Techniques used:
All crochet squares are worked in the round, check that your final row count per side is correct or you will struggle to join your crochet squares at a later stage.
Gauge can be important, it’s best to stick to the same yarn weight and crochet hook thru-out making your squares or your squares would not match up.
Work ends, as you go will help you at the end when it comes to finishing the blanket unless you love spending a day at least to work on loose ends.
Yarn used in this pattern example is lightweight DK yarn. I prefer working with cotton , my preferred yarn each has an average length of 130 yds/119m per 1.75oz/50g skein/ball.
Recommended yarn for similar to finish square size is : a lightweight double knitting yarn, some crochet councils refer to this yarn as the 3/Light category. In Europe and Australia, you might see DK yarn labeled as 8-ply.
You can use any yarn of your choice, just note that by using lighter yarn and a smaller crochet hook, finished square and blanket size will be overall smaller. Using a heavier yarn and larger crochet hook, the finished size of squares and blanket will be larger.
The crochet granny square example pattern was worked up in a: 3.5 mm / US 4 /E-4 crochet hook.
Finished Flower Square Measurements using a 3.5mm crochet hook :
30 x 30 cm / 11 x 11 inches

Photo tutorial and square examples are made up of cotton yarn, this is only used as a suggestion, any yarn of your choice can be used.
Lightweight yarn using a smaller crochet hook will make a smaller square, and heavier yarn using a larger crochet hook will result in a larger square.
