Simple 3D Flower Granny Square - Free Crochet Pattern

I first used it for my Ladybug Granny Square Pillow, where I wanted to mix the ladybugs with a few daisy squares to add a touch of nature and Spring.

The starting point for making this daisy flower square is a Simple Circle Granny Square, and we will add the petals all around the circle center using surface crochet.

And it’s thanks to surface crochet that we will have a beautiful 3D effect for our flower!
