There is no fruit without a flower! So, for the last part of our Tutti Frutti Granny Square CAL, I thought of sharing this crochet White Flower Granny Square!
This little afghan block features a white 3D flower with 8 petals, which is just the cutest for all your Spring blankets, Summer projects, or any creations for flower lovers.
If you crochet the pattern as you find it below, you’ll be able to use this flower square in combination with a classic granny square with 4 rounds, or any square of the same size.
However, you can easily make your flower granny square of the size you need by adding a few more rounds!

I love all the squares for this blanket. Thank you for providing for us..
Thank you 🙂
Hi! Thank you so much for this pattern. Could I know how many stitches there are supposed to be in Round 4? I’m stuck on this part and I think I might be missing something!
Hi,
there are 34 sts on round 4 (8 on each side), plus a ch-2 sp at each corner and 2 ch-1 sps on each side.
Where are you getting confused? Maybe keep in mind that the instructions within square brackets all go in the same st/sp. So, [BLO hdc 3] means that the 3 BLO hdc go in the same st.
I hope this helped, otherwise, feel free to send me a pic of your square via e-mail and I’ll be happy to help 🙂
Best,
Raffaella
