About This Daisy Granny Crochet Square Pattern

This pattern creates a decorative Daisy Granny crochet square in two variations (Square A and Square B) that can be joined to make blankets, cushions or bags. It is written for multiple yarn options and colour combinations to suit your style. Each round is completed before changing colour for crisp, clean colour changes.

Why You'll Love This Daisy Granny Crochet Square Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple crochet stitches into a bold, floral-inspired square that looks great in so many colourways. I enjoy how quickly one square works up, making it perfect for a quick gift or to sample stitch and colour ideas. The design is versatile — you can make a whole blanket or a few cushions with just a handful of yarn. I also appreciate that the rounds are completed before changing colours, which keeps the colourwork neat and the finishing straightforward.

Switch Things Up

I love to experiment with colour placement in this pattern; try reversing the colour order so the petals are the darkest tone and the outer rounds are lighter for a very different look.

You can easily change the size by using a thicker yarn and larger hook for a chunky square or a finer yarn and smaller hook for tiny motifs perfect for trims or appliques.

I often substitute textured yarns like boucle or a cotton-linen blend for the outer rounds to add interest and a different hand to the finished piece.

If you want a lacy feel, leave out one round or replace a round of double crochets with chains and clusters to create open spaces.

I sometimes embroider a small French knot in the centre after blocking for a polished flower centre detail; it adds charm and uniqueness.

To make a keychain or mini decoration, use thin cotton and a 2.5–3.5mm hook and work just the central motif, fastening off after Rnd 3 and adding a small loop.

Try joining squares with contrasting join colours to create a grid-like effect — a bright join can become a design feature rather than disappearing into the background.

I also like to turn these squares into coasters by using thicker cotton and adding one extra round of single crochet around the edge for durability.

For blankets, change colour every few squares across the blanket to create stripes or a staged colour fade that reads beautifully at a larger scale.

If you want to add texture, replace the final round with a raised stitch round such as front post double crochet (FPdc) for a framed effect around the square.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the magic ring set-up can leave a hole in the centre; always begin Rnd 1 with a magic ring and pull it tight before joining. ✗ Changing colours without securing ends can cause loose tails; fasten off and weave in ends as you change colours to hide them in the stitches. ✗ Not counting stitches after increases and corners leads to uneven squares; count each round carefully especially after Rnd 4 where corners are formed. ✗ Pulling yarn too tightly during clusters or petals will distort the shape; maintain relaxed, even tension so the motifs sit flat and even. ✗ Joining rounds incorrectly (wrong join point) will shift the pattern; join in the specified stitch (for example top of ch3) to maintain symmetry.

Assembly Instructions

  • Join squares for blankets or cushion covers using your preferred method (whipstitch, mattress stitch or join-as-you-go) and place seams on the wrong side for a neat finish.
  • Block each square gently to square up and even stitch tension before joining; pin to shape and steam or wet block according to fibre content.
  • Weave in and hide all ends neatly on the wrong side using a yarn needle; secure ends well to prevent unravelling with use and washing.
  • For bag making, arrange squares and sew them together with a sturdy joining stitch, then line the bag if desired for extra durability.
  • Position colour changes and photo references as a guide when assembling multi-colour layouts to maintain pattern flow across joined squares.

Important Notes

  • 💡Each round is completed before changing colour to keep colour changes neat and tidy.
  • 💡Tension is not critical for this pattern, but consistent tension will help squares sit flat and match in size.
  • 💡Fasten off and hide ends at the end of each square to keep the back tidy and secure the work.
  • 💡Photographs are included at the end of the written instructions to help with colour placement and finished appearance.

This Daisy Granny square pattern offers a quick, colourful project you can use for blankets, cushions and bags. Mix and match yarns like bamboo, cotton or alpaca to create different textures and drape. Make multiple squares for a coordinated set or use single squares as pretty accents. 🧶🌸
