Emily's Notes

Daisy granny squares are one of those patterns that feel more decorative than they actually are to make.

The structure is very similar to a standard granny square once you get past the flower center, so it's a great way to introduce more visual detail without adding complexity.

The biggest thing to watch is maintaining even tension so the flower doesn't pull or distort the square shape later.

Finished Size

The finished size of this crochet granny square is about 3.5 inches (9 cm) x 3.5 inches (9 cm).

Instructions

• Col A = Center color, e.g. yellow
• Col B = Petal color, e.g. white
• Col C = Outer square color, e.g. blue

Round 1: Col A, make a magic ring, ch3 (counts as dc), 11 dc into ring, pull tail tight to close ring, sl st into top of ch3 to join. [12 dc].

Round 2: Col B, ch2 (doesn't count as st), *4 tr in 1^st st, remove hook from hoop and insert hook into top of starting tr, use hook to pull loop through the top of the starting tr, ch2. Completed petal,* repeat from * around, you should end up with 12 petals. Sl st into top of ch3 to join. [12 petals].

Crochet Tips, Yarn Choices, and Color Inspiration

• Cotton yarn gives a crisp, defined look, while acrylic creates a softer finish
• Use a contrasting color for the daisy center so the flower stands out
• Try classic combinations like white petals with a yellow center and green or neutral border
• Keep tension consistent so your squares stay even for joining later
• Block your squares if needed to help them sit flat and uniform
• Experiment with bold colors for a more modern look
• Make a few test squares to refine your color combinations before committing to a larger project
