About This Pattern
Designed for both confident beginners and experienced crocheters, the pattern includes detailed written instructions, stitch diagrams, stitch counts, round-by-round photographs, and beginner-friendly guidance to help you complete every stage of the square with confidence.
Whether you crochet a single decorative motif or an entire heirloom blanket, this versatile flower square is enjoyable to make and beautiful to display..
What Makes This Granny Square Unique?
Unlike a traditional granny square that starts with simple corner clusters, the TMBJGF Flower Granny Square begins as a textured circular flower.
Several rounds of front and back post stitches gradually build depth, creating petals that stand proud of the fabric. The final rounds carefully transform the circular flower into a perfectly shaped square while maintaining the raised floral centre.
The finished result is a granny square with beautiful texture from every angle.

Hook Size
This pattern was designed using a 3.00 mm crochet hook to create a firm fabric with well-defined textured stitches.
If your stitches are naturally tight, you may wish to try a 3.5 mm hook.
If your stitches are loose, a 2.5 mm hook may help you achieve the correct tension.
For the most accurate results, crochet one complete square, measure it after blocking, and adjust your hook size if necessary before making additional squares.

Tips for the Best Results
To ensure every square joins together neatly:
- Use the same yarn weight throughout your project.
- Use the same crochet hook for every square.
- Count your stitches after each round.
- Compare your work with the tutorial photographs before continuing.
- Weave in yarn tails as you complete each square.
- Block your finished squares before joining if necessary.
Following these simple steps will help produce evenly sized squares with crisp corners and matching edges.
Construction Overview
How the Square is Constructed
The pattern is worked in the round from the centre outward.
Construction follows four simple stages:
Stage 1 – Flower Centre
The square begins with a Magic Ring before gradually increasing to create a smooth circular centre.
Stage 2 – Layered Flower Petals
Raised Front Post and Back Post Double Crochet stitches create dimension and texture, while shell stitches shape each individual petal.
Stage 3 – Defining the Flower
Additional textured rounds add depth and help each petal stand out, giving the flower its distinctive three-dimensional appearance.
Stage 4 – Squaring the Motif
The final rounds introduce chain spaces, corners and granny-style clusters, transforming the circular flower into an easy-to-join square.
Resizing Guide
Quick Resizing Guide
The TMBJGF Flower Granny Square can easily be adapted to create projects of different sizes by simply making more or fewer squares.
Since each square is worked individually, there is no need to alter the pattern itself. Simply crochet the number of squares needed for your desired project.
Approximate Project Sizes
- Baby Blanket: 16–25 squares
- Lap Blanket: 30–42 squares
- Throw Blanket: 49–64 squares
- Twin Bed Blanket: 80–100 squares
- Queen Bed Blanket: 120–144 squares
- King Bed Blanket: 169+ squares
Custom Sizing
To calculate the number of squares you need:
- Measure one completed square after blocking.
- Measure the finished width and length you would like your project to be.
- Divide the desired width by the width of one square.
- Divide the desired length by the height of one square.
- Round to the nearest whole number and multiply the two values together to estimate the total number of squares required.
Helpful Tip
Always complete and block one sample square before calculating your project size. Blocking can slightly change the finished dimensions, giving you a more accurate estimate for the number of squares you'll need.
