Crochet is a great craft. There’s nothing more satisfying than creating something out of a ball of yarn and a crochet hook. Ive shred a few crochet tutorials but today I’m going back to basics with a simple Granny Square. This is the building block of throws and blankets, and when you can master one square , you can make more and more in any colour!

A pair of scissors
Needle
Stitches (crochet abbreviations) used for this project

How to crochet a Flower Granny Square:
Select a yarn for the center of the flower. Make a magic ring and chain 2.
Work a double crochet into the magic ring.
Repeat double crochet 14 times into the MR. There should be a total of 15 DC in the magic ring.
Insert the hook into the very first DC, then work a slip-stitch
Work 2 chains on the hook.
Now yarn over, and insert the hook into the same stitch. Pull the yarn through the same stitch without working any stitches.
Repeat it 2 times and you should have 7 loops on your hook.
Now grab the yarn and pull it through all the loops. This stitch is called a bubble.
Chain 1.
Work another bubble into the next stitch of the previous row. Repeat it until you have 16 bubbles in the current row.
Insert the hook between the first chain 2 and the first bubble stitch.
Grab the yarn, make a slip-stitch, and cut off the yarn.
Add new yarn.
Chain 2.
Yarn over and pull it through the same stitch. Grab the yarn and pull up, now you have 3 loops on your hook. Now grab the yarn and pull through the first 2 loops. You should have 2 loops on the hook.
Repeat this 3 times and you should have 5 loops on the hook.
Now grab the yarn and pull it through all the 5 loops.
Work 2 chains on the hook.
Repeat the previous stitch pattern 15 times for this row. You should have 16 bubble stitches at the end of this round.
Insert the hook between the first 2 bubble stitch and work a slip stitch.
Add new yarn through a gap between any 2 bubble stitches of the last round.
Chain 4.
Work 2 treble crochet through the same stitch.
Chain 3.
Again work 3 treble crochet into the same stitch. The first corner of our granny square is done.
Work 3 DC into the next stitch.
Again work 3 DC crochet into the next 2 stitches.
Repeat the corner stitch pattern into the next stitch (the 5th).
Repeat the 3 DC into the next 3 stitches and corner stitch pattern in the 4th until the 4 sides of the granny square are covered.
Insert the hook between the first chain 4 and the first treble stitch and make a slip-stitch. Cut off extra yarn and tuck the remaining yarn on the backside of the crochet pattern to secure the ending.
I hope you found our tutorial on how to crochet a Flower Granny Square simple to follow. Master one square and you can crochet more to make your own crochet blanket.
