Skill Level: Intermediate
Supplies Used
Here’s the list of materials needed to crochet this granny square:
Medium weight yarn (white and purple colors)
3.5 mm crochet hook
Scissors
Needle
Magic Ring and Double Crochet Stitch
The project starts by making a magic ring and 24 double crochet stitches. The initial three chains count as the first double crochet.
Colour Changing and Formation of Rounds
At the end of the first round the colour changes from white to purple. This creative touch makes the flower special.
Chains and Stitches in Second and Third Rounds
In the second round a new double crochet is made with a chain between each double crochet. The third round uses a pattern of single crochet and two chains.
Detailing the Petals
In the fourth and fifth rounds, petals are made with 7 double crochets in each petal. This gives the petals a 3D look.
Formation of the Square Shape
In the sixth round, the flower is converted into a square shape using the white yarn again. Special corner stitches are used in the corners.
Corner Formation and Finishing
In the seventh round, corners are formed with double crochet, chain, and single crochet stitches. The flower now turns into a beautiful square motif.
What is the best yarn?
The best yarn for crocheting a granny square is medium-weight yarn (also known as worsted weight or category 4 yarn), as it provides a perfect balance between durability and ease of use. Acrylic yarn is an excellent choice due to its affordability, wide range of colors, and easy maintenance. Cotton yarn also works well.
