    I’ve always wanted to make a patchwork blanket, but it’s always


    intimidated me just a little bit. You know, that whole weaving and
    joining process? It sounds scarier than it probably is.

    While I have big plans of joining these into a gorgeous baby blanket,
    I’m not going to wait for the day that happens to share this tutorial
    with you.

    This daisy granny square is simple yet beautiful with the flower center.
    If you don’t want to make an afghan or baby blanket, they also make
    fantastic coasters when made with an absorbent cotton yarn.

    Granny squares are made in rounds. You’ll start by making the daisy in
    the center, then you’ll transition to a regular granny pattern once
    you’ve completed the flower.

    I’ll walk you through how to make one of these squares step-by-step!

    Granny Square with a Center Daisy
    Tutorial

    Ch 3 using yellow yarn. (You could also start with a magic circle)

    Round 1: 8 dc into the first ch. Sl st to the top of the first dc (not the
    top of the initial chain). Cut yarn and weave ends. (8)

    Round 2: Join white yarn in any stitch and ch 2. Work a 3 dc cluster in


    the same stitch and ch 2. This completes the first petal. Work a 4 dc
    cluster followed by a ch 2 in the remaining stitches. Sl st to the top of
    the first cluster stitch. (You should have 8 clusters and 8 ch 2 spaces at
    the end of this round.)

    Cut yarn and weave ends.


    Round 3: Join your background color in any of the ch 2 spaces and ch 2.
    Work 2 dc and then ch 2. In the same space, work 3 more dc and ch 1.
    You’ve made your first corner. Work 3 dc in the next ch 2 space and ch
    1. *Work 3 dc, ch 2, and 3 more dc in to the next ch 2 space and ch 1.
    Work 3 dc in the next ch 2 space and ch 1.* three more times. Sl st to
    the top of the ch 2 to join.

    Slip stitch in the next two stitches and into the next ch 2 space.

    At this point, you’ll proceed like you would for a traditional granny
    square.

    Round 4: ch 2. Work 2 dc and then ch 2. In the same space, work 3


    more dc and ch 1. You’ve made your first corner. Work 3 dc and a ch 1
    in the next two spaces. *In the corner, work 3 dc, ch 2, and 3 more dc
    into the corner and ch 1. Work 3 dc and a ch 1 in the next two spaces.*
    three more times. Sl st to the top of the ch 2 to join.

    Granny Square FAQ
    What stitches are in a granny square?
    While there is a wide variety of granny square patterns, the most
    traditional granny squares use mostly double crochets and chains.

    Granny squares with a daisy in the center also use some sort of cluster
    stitches – whether they be double crochet clusters or treble crochet
    clusters – to form the flower petals.

    Are granny squares easy for beginners?


    Traditional granny square patterns make a wonderful first project.
    They’re simple and easy to get the hang of. This granny square
    blanket is a great place to start.

    While daisy in the center squares are just a little more tricky, I don’t
    think you’ll have any trouble with this variation as long as you’re
    familiar with the stitches used.

    What size yarn do you need for granny squares?


    I find that worsted weight works well for granny squares and that’s
    what I’ve used for the dainty daisy granny squares you see here.

    However, other sizes/weights can definitely be used. Try a DK or bulky


    weight and see what you think!

    What is the best hook size for granny squares?


    I’m a big fan of the I/9 crochet hook when I’m making granny squares
    with worsted weight yarn. If you know you crochet tightly, you might
    want to step up to a J. On the other hand, if you know you crochet
    loosely, going down to an H will help you achieve a nice, neat looking
    square.

    How many squares for a granny square blanket?


    If you wanted to use these squares to make a baby blanket, you’d need
    between 64 and 80 squares depending on if you want a square or
    rectangular blanket.
    To make a larger throw, you’d need more squares. Each of these daisy
    grannies is 4 inches square so you’d need to divide your desired width
    and length by 4 to see how many squares to make.

    How do I join crochet squares together?


    Granny squares can be connected in many different ways. Ther e are
    invisible joins and single crochet joins and join as you go methods.
    Sometimes the possibilities seem endless.

    This post from Spruce Crafts outlines 7 different joining methods.

    Should you block granny squares before joining?


    I’m actually a big fan of blocking granny squares before putting them
    all together. Joining your squares will be much easier if each one is
    blocked to exactly the same size.

    If you’re unfamiliar with how to block crochet projects, this post will
    help walk you through.

    Why do you block crochet squares?


    Crochet squares look a lot better when the corners are… actually
    square. Blocking makes sure your project is a perfect square because
    you’re able to manipulate the stitches to exactly the size you want
    (within reason).

    Blocking crochet squares also makes it a lot easier when you’re trying
    to decide where to insert your hook when you start joining your
    squares together at the end of your crochet project.
