Step-by-Step Pattern
Part 1: Center Flower (Color A)
Round 1:
- Create a magic circle.
- Ch 2 (counts as the first dc). Work 4 dc into the magic circle.
- Ch 2, sl st into the ring.
- Repeat [4 dc, ch 2, sl st] for a total of 5 petals.
- Finishing Round 1: Sl st into the ring, and pull the magic circle tight. Weave in ends securely on the back side.
Part 2: 3D Flower Petals (Color A)
Attaching New Yarn:
- With the same color yarn, attach via sl st between two petals on Round 1.
Round 2:
- Ch 5, then work 1 dc into each of the 4 dc stitches of the previous petal.
- This new round extends over Round 1 petals.
- Ch 5, then sl st into the base (between petals). Repeat this sequence for all petals.
- Finishing Round 2: Cut the yarn and weave in ends to the back of the flower.
You should now have larger petals layered over the small inner petals, with five sets of chain spaces between the petals.
Part 3: Granny Square Base (Color B)
Round 1:
- Create a magic circle with Color B.
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc). Work 9 dc into the ring. (10 sts total, including initial ch).

Round 2:
- Ch 3. Work 2 dc into each dc around. (20 sts total)
- Sl st to join.
Round 3:
- Ch 3. Work [1 dc into the next st, 2 dc into the next st] around. (30 sts total)
- Sl st to join.
Part 4: Creating the Corners (Square Transition)
Round 4 (Corner Round):
- Ch 3. Work 9 dc into the next 9 sts. (10 total, including initial ch)
- In the next space:
- Ch 3. Work 1 relief dc into the next stitch: insert your hook around the front post of the dc stitch below and complete a normal dc.
- Ch 3.
- Repeat 9 dc, ch 3, relief dc, ch 3 for all sides of the square.
Round 5:
- Ch 3. Work 1 dc into each of the next 9 sts.
- Work 3 dc into the ch-3 corner space. Ch 3. Work 3 dc into the same corner space.
- Repeat this pattern for all corners, and work 1 dc into each stitch along each straight edge.
Part 5: Sewing the Flower to the Granny Square
- Position Center Flower:
- Place the flower such that its center aligns perfectly with the center of the square.
- Sew Around Petals:
- Use a tapestry needle and matching thread/yarn to sew down flower petals.
- Ensure all threads are securely woven and hidden on the back.
Tips for Success
- Tension Control: Maintain an even tension throughout to ensure the flower and granny square lie flat.
- Relief Stitches: Insert the hook carefully for relief stitches to avoid splitting the yarn.
- Blocking: To achieve a perfectly square granny, block the square with pins and spray lightly with water.
Pattern Variations
- Color Variations:
- Use ombre or multicolored yarns for the flower petals.
- Create seasonal variations such as warm fall tones (orange, burgundy) or cool winter shades (white, icy blue).
- Size Adjustments:
- Adjust the size by adding more rounds or crocheting fewer stitches for a smaller square.
- Switch to bulky yarn for larger squares or finer yarn for more delicate designs.
