I’m glad you’re interested in a wonderful flower pattern for crochet! One popular and beautiful flower pattern is the “Classic Granny Square Flower.” It’s versatile and can be used in various projects like blankets, scarves, or as standalone decorations. Here’s a simplified version of the pattern:
Materials you’ll need:
- Crochet hook (appropriate size for your yarn)
- Worsted weight yarn in your desired colors
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Instructions:
- Start with the center of the flower:
- Make a magic ring or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
- Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet), work 11 double crochets into the ring. Slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain-3 to join the round. (12 stitches)
- Fasten off and cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.
- Petals of the flower:
- Switch to a new color yarn.
- Join the yarn in any stitch of the center.
- Round 2: Chain 5, skip the next stitch, single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern (between * symbols) around, creating 6 chain-5 loops. Slip stitch into the first chain-5 space to join the round.
- Create the flower petals:
- In each chain-5 space from the previous round, work the following stitches:
- Petal 1: Chain 3, double crochet 3 times, chain 3, slip stitch. Repeat this pattern (between * symbols) in the same chain-5 space.
- Petal 2: In the next chain-5 space, work the same pattern as Petal 1.
- Repeat Petal 1 and Petal 2 in each chain-5 space around, creating 6 petals in total.
- In each chain-5 space from the previous round, work the following stitches:
- Fasten off and cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.
- Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
You can make multiple Classic Granny Square Flowers in different colors and combine them to create beautiful projects like a floral blanket, scarf, or even attach them to accessories like hats or headbands. Experiment with different color combinations to add your personal touch to the flowers.
Feel free to add additional embellishments like buttons or beads to the center of the flower or embroidery to the petals for extra detail. Enjoy crocheting these wonderful flowers!
