About This Daisy Granny Crochet Square Pattern

This pattern creates the Daisy Granny crochet square — a floral-inspired granny square you can make in two variations. It's worked in the round with colour changes each round so you can mix and match shades. The pattern provides round-by-round instructions for Square A (four colours) and Square B (three colours).

Ideal for making blankets, cushion covers or bags, these squares are quick and satisfying to crochet. Use any mercerized cotton, merino or bamboo yarn for lovely stitch definition and drape.

Why You'll Love This Daisy Granny Crochet Square Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines classic granny construction with a pretty daisy centre that really stands out. I find the colour-change rounds make each square feel like a tiny piece of art, and they are endlessly mixable for blankets or cushions. The rounds are short and satisfying, so it never feels overwhelming to finish a square. I also enjoy that the pattern is beginner-friendly but still produces a polished, professional look.

Switch Things Up

I love changing colour placement to make each square feel unique; swap the centre and petal colours for a different effect.

I often use a thicker yarn and larger hook to create a chunky textured square perfect for cozy blankets.

For a delicate look I choose a fingering or sport weight yarn with a smaller hook to make mini squares for garlands or appliques.

I sometimes replace the outer round with a picot or scallop edge to add a decorative border to the square.

If I want a continuous-look blanket I join squares with a join-as-you-go method or use a neutral colour seam for a neat finish.

I like embroidering a tiny centre detail or adding a button to the daisy centre for a whimsical touch.

To make a set, I vary only the petal colour across squares so they read as a coordinated collection rather than identical pieces.

I enjoy adding a fabric lining when turning squares into bags or cushions for extra structure and durability.

For a modern look I use monochrome palettes and change only one round colour to keep the design subtle and chic.

I recommend trying different joining methods—mattress stitch, whipstitch, or slip-stitch—to see which yields the best edge for your project.

I occasionally add beads or tiny embellishments to the petals for a special-occasion version of the square.

I also experiment with blocking techniques to square up edges and achieve consistent measurements across all pieces.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not changing colour at the end of the designated round can blur the daisy effect; fasten off and join the next colour exactly where the instructions state. ✗ Skipping chain spaces when constructing corners will distort the square shape; count ch1 and ch2 spaces carefully and place corner clusters as written. ✗ Failing to join rounds properly results in visible gaps or uneven edges; always join into the specified stitch (or ch) and check your joins each round. ✗ Working with inconsistent tension creates uneven petals and edges; maintain a steady, relaxed tension throughout and block squares if needed to even out stitches.

Assembly Instructions

  • Join multiple Daisy Granny squares together to make a blanket by arranging finished squares in your desired layout and using whipstitch or slip-stitch join through the back loops for a flat seam.
  • Block each square lightly to square up the edges before joining; pin to a blocking board and steam or wet-block according to yarn recommendations.
  • Sew squares together row by row, working a mattress stitch or whipstitch and keeping tension even to avoid puckering along seams.
  • For cushion covers, make two identical panels of squares then sew three sides, insert cushion and sew the final side closed or add a zipper or buttons for a removable cover.
  • To make a bag, stitch squares together to form front, back and base panels, then sew side seams, add a lining if desired, and attach handles securely.

Important Notes

  • 💡Each round is completed before changing colour; fasten off and join the next colour where instructed to keep neat joins.
  • 💡Tension is not critical for this pattern but maintain consistent tension for uniform square sizes across your project.
  • 💡Fasten off and hide ends after finishing each square to secure colour changes and prevent loose tails.
  • 💡Use the recommended 7 (4.5mm) hook for the sample sizes shown, and adjust hook size if substituting yarn for different gauge.

This Daisy Granny square pattern is a joyful, colourful project you can make again and again for blankets, cushions or bags. Mix and match colours for striking designs and use any yarn you love to make it your own. Happy crocheting and enjoy every daisy-filled square you create! 🧶🌼
