Construction Overview
The New Age Daisy Crochet Modern Flower Square is worked entirely in the round, beginning with a simple magic ring and gradually building layers of textured petals before transitioning into a perfectly shaped crochet square.
The centre of the flower uses front post stitches and puff stitches to create a raised, three-dimensional floral effect. Once the flower is complete, additional rounds transform the circular motif into a square using carefully placed corner increases. Each round is completed before fastening off and joining a new colour, making this an excellent project for experimenting with colour combinations.
The finished squares can be joined using your preferred joining method to create blankets, cushions, tote bags, garments, wall hangings, and many other crochet projects.
