Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern
Round 1: Create the Purple Center
Using lavender yarn, make a magic ring.
- Chain 1 to secure the starting loop.
- Work 12 single crochet stitches into the ring.
- Pull the yarn tail to close the center.
- Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch.
You should now have a small, circular purple center.
Round 2: Form the First Flower Petals
Continue with lavender yarn to create the textured center of the flower.
- Chain 2.
- Work double crochet stitches around the center, increasing evenly to form a slightly larger circle.
- Join the round with a slip stitch.
- Keep the stitches close together to create a full, raised floral texture.
Round 3: Crochet the White Petals
Attach white yarn where you want to begin the petals.
For each petal:
- Work a group of taller stitches into the same stitch or space.
- Add shorter stitches between the groups to define the petal shapes.
- Repeat around the flower to form a ring of white petals.
- Join with a slip stitch and fasten off if needed.
Adjust the number of stitches in each group to achieve the fullness shown in the reference image.
Round 4: Add the Lavender Flower Details
Use lavender yarn to create the second layer of petals.
- Attach lavender yarn between the white petal groups.
- Work clusters of double crochet or treble crochet stitches to form textured purple petals.
- Leave enough space between clusters so the white petals remain visible.
- Repeat around the flower until the lavender accents are evenly distributed.
This layered effect gives the granny square its dimensional floral appearance.
Round 5: Shape the Square
To turn the circular floral motif into a square, use lavender yarn.
- Work single crochet and double crochet stitches around the motif.
- At each corner, work a corner group such as 3 double crochet stitches, chain 2, and 3 double crochet stitches into the same corner space.
- Along the sides, work evenly spaced stitches to fill the gaps.
- Repeat around the motif, checking that all four corners remain defined.
The precise placement of the corners may require adjustments depending on how your flower petals are arranged.
Round 6: Create the Thick Border
For the final border, continue with lavender yarn.
- Work a round of single crochet stitches around the square.
- Add 3 single crochet stitches into each corner stitch or corner space.
- Keep your tension consistent so the edges remain straight.
- Add another round if you want a thicker, more defined border.
- Join with a slip stitch and fasten off.
Finishing Your Granny Square
- Weave in all loose yarn ends using a yarn needle.
- Gently shape the square so the sides and corners look even.
- Lightly block the piece if needed, following the care instructions for your yarn.
- Check that the floral center lies flat and the border does not curl.
