4. Step-by-Step 3D Floral Square Pattern
Step 1: Create the Center Ring
- Make a magic ring.
- CH 1.
- Work 12 SC into the ring.
- SL ST into the first SC.
- Pull the magic ring tightly closed.
You now have the center of your flower.
Step 2: Crochet the Flower Petals
- CH 3.
- YO twice and insert your hook into the center ring.
- Work a cluster of elongated TR stitches.
- Repeat the process to form eight raised petals around the center.
- Secure each petal with a SL ST into the center ring.
Arrange the petals evenly to create a dimensional flower.
Step 3: Create the Raised Leaves
To achieve the beautiful botanical texture:
- Attach yarn around the flower center.
- CH 4.
- Work several elongated puff stitches into the surrounding spaces.
- Shape each puff into a pointed leaf by securing its top with a SC.
- Repeat around the flower to create decorative leaves.
- Add another layer of elongated petals between the first leaves for a fuller appearance.
Adjust the tension carefully to make the petals stand out.
Step 4: Build the Square Shape
Once your flower and leaves are complete:
- Attach yarn to an outer space.
- Work SC stitches around the motif.
- At each corner, work 3 SC into the same corner space.
- Continue with additional rows of SC and HDC.
- Keep increasing at the corners until the square reaches your desired size.
Make sure every square has the same number of rounds and dimensions.
Step 5: Add the Textured Border
For the elegant frame shown in the inspiration photo:
- Work one round of SC around the square.
- Work another round using alternating FPDC and BPDC.
- Finish with a final round of SC.
- SL ST to close the round.
This creates a structured frame that highlights the floral design.
5. Joining the Crochet Squares
Make enough squares to create your desired blanket size.
Suggested layout:
- 5 squares across.
- 7 squares long.
- 35 floral squares in total.
Join the squares using a slip-stitch join or single crochet join.
Keep the joins neat and consistent so the blanket has a beautiful finished appearance.
6. Crochet Blanket Border
For the final decorative edge:
Round 1: Work SC evenly around the entire blanket.
Round 2: Work HDC around all four sides, adding 3 HDC in each corner.
Round 3: Alternate FPDC and BPDC to create a thick textured edge.
Round 4: Work a decorative scalloped border using a combination of SC and DC stitches.
Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.
