Top 20 Flowery Granny Squares
The crochet pattern for each of the demonstrated Granny Squares is provided in the section below.
How to read the instructions
- The crochet pattern is written in US Crochet Terminology.
- To facilitate the reading, there is intentionally no space between the stitch to be worked and the number of times it must be worked in the same stitch. For example: “3dc in next st, ch4, 2dc in next 3 dc” means that 3 double crochets are worked in the next stitch, followed by 4 chain stitches, then 2 dc in each of the next 3 stitches (creating 13 sts).
- Asterisks (*): a sequence of stitches between two same asterisks means that this sequence must be repeated a specified number of times to reach the end of the row. For example: “*ch2, work 1 sc into next sp, ch3, 1 dc into next dc, ch 3, work 1 sc into next sp, ch2*. Rep * to end, turn”.
- Square brackets []: used to simplify repetition. Instructions inside the []- brackets are to be worked the number of times (x) stated. Example: “[ch2, skip next st, 1 sc into next st] x 5”.
- Round brackets (): either enclose additional information, for example “ch 5 (counts as 1 dc and ch 2)”. Or they group together a sequence of stitches that must be worked into the same location, for example “ch1, (2dc, ch2, 2dc) in next st”.
Stitch Types Used
Bobble Stitch (5dc-bobble st)
Work 5 dc in one st leaving last loop of each st on hook and then crochet them together with a common end loop ( it’s basically working 5 dc together that are in the same place).
- you can work any stitch as a bobble stitch, for example a 5 tc-bobble stitch consists of working 5 half-tc in same place that are connected (completed) by a common end loop.
Cluster Stitch
A combination of stitches worked in several stitches that are joined together by a common last loop, e.g. a dc5tog (“double crochet 5 sts together”) is a cluster, dtc3tog (“double treble crochet 3 sts tog.”) is a cluster, … When a cluster is worked in one stitch, it forms a bobble.
Popcorn Stitch (5dc-popcorn)
Work 5 dc into same place. Remove hook from working loop and insert it into the 1st dc made from front to back, pick up working loop and draw through to close popcorn.
Puff Stitch (of 4 hdc)
Similar to a bobble stitch but worked using half double crochets. One loop per stitch remains on the hook until the required number of loops have been worked, then the loops are connected by a common end loop to finish the hdc.
For example, [YO, insert hook into place, YO and draw loop through] x 4, YO and draw through all loops on hook (it’s, basically, working 4 half-hdc that are crocheted together with a common end loop).
Picot Stitch
A chain loop formed into a closing ring by a slip stitch or single crochet. For example, ch3, sl st down through same base st as ch-3 (=ch3-picot).
Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC)
Insert hook around post of stitch from the front, around the back and to the front again and complete the dc as usual.
Back Post Double Crochet (BPDC)
Insert hook around post of stitch from the back, around the front and to the back again and complete the dc as usual.
Solomon’s Knot Single Crochet Stitch
Make a long ch1, insert hook underneath strand in the back of the work, YO and draw through the first loop on the hook, YO and pull through both of the remaining loops to complete the single crochet.
It’s basically working a single crochet through the inside loop of the long ch-1
Working into chain spaces
Indicates a free location typically created by several consecutive chain stitches. For example, “1dc, ch5, 1 dc” creates a space (of ch-5) between the dc-sts through which you could stitch hiding the ch-5 (wrapping ch-5 with the new sts).
Abbreviations and Chart Symbols
ch(s) = chain(s) | sp = space | cont = continue | dc = double crochet | dtc = double treble crochet | hdc = half double crochet | prev = previous | rep = repeat | rd = round | sc = single crochet | sp(s) = space(s) | st(s) = stitch(es) | tc = treble crochet | tch = turning ch | tog = together | yo = yarn over
