Techniques used

Work in ends, as you go will help you at the end when it comes to finishing the blanket unless you love spending a day at least to work on loose ends.

Suggested yarn weight for crochet flower square pattern
Yarn weight: Double knit. Worsted or Aran
Yarn Length required  : +- 500m/ 545yards to complete 4 large squares

Recommended Crochet hook size

I used a 4.5 mm crochet hook for the crochet flower square example, always ensure you use the hook size recommended for your crochet yarn to ensure your square does not twist or scrunch up, My finished size of each square was: 24 cm / 9 inches, note the bigger the crochet yarn and heaver the yarn weight the larger your crochet square will be, the smaller your crochet hook and lighter your crochet yarn you are using the smaller your finished crochet square will be.
