For the best results, I recommend using a medium-weight yarn, commonly called worsted or Aran weight, also known as 8-ply in Australia. This yarn weight gives structure to the flower shapes while still keeping the blanket light and cozy.
- Double crochet stitches
- V-stitches
- Classic granny stitch
- Half double crochet stitch.
This blanket uses three different joining techniques to add beautiful texture and visual variety:
- V-Stitch Join – for connecting large squares together with a soft, open look.
- Single Crochet Join – used for the smaller flower squares; it creates a defined, clean seam.
- Half Double Crochet Join – adds a lovely, slightly raised ridge that complements the floral texture.
Each join technique brings a unique touch to the final blanket, turning it into a piece of art as much as a functional throw.
Play with color! Using a variety of yarn balls in different shades makes your blanket cheerful and full of personality.
- If your square is wavy or rippling, your tension might be too loose. Try using a smaller hook to tighten it up.
- If it’s curling or too tight, your tension may be too tight, go up a hook size or relax your stitches.
Blocking is optional, but helpful!
- If you’re new to granny squares** or your squares are coming out slightly different in size, blocking will help even them out and make joining easier.
- If you’ve made lots of squares before and your work is consistent, you can go ahead and join them without blocking.
Absolutely! This pattern is quite flexible. You can use a heavier yarn and larger hook, just keep in mind:
- Your squares will come out larger, so your finished blanket will be bigger too.
- Be consistent! Stick with one hook size throughout. Changing hook sizes between squares will cause uneven blocks that are hard to join neatly, even if you try blocking them afterward.
- Always check the recommended hook size on your yarn label, and make a test square before starting your full project.
Whether you're making this blanket as a thoughtful gift or a cozy piece for your own space, the African flower granny squares are sure to bring color, joy, and comfort with every stitch.
What’s the best yarn for this African flower squares blanket pattern?

What stitches are used in this blanket?
- Double crochet
- Vstitches
- Classic granny stitch
- Half double crochet
How are the African flower squares joined?
Three joining methods are included for texture and variety:
- VStitch Join : Soft, open connections for larger squares
- Single Crochet Join : Clean seams for smaller squares
- Half Double Crochet Join : Creates a raised ridge that highlights the floral motifs
Why isn’t my granny square lying flat?
If it’s wavy or rippling : Tension may be too loose. Try a smaller hook.
If it’s curling : Stitches are too tight. Try a larger hook or loosen your tension.
Should I block my African flower squares?
Blocking is optional but helpful for consistent sizing, especially for beginners. It makes joining easier and ensures neat edges.
Can I use different yarn or hook sizes?
Yes! This pattern is adaptable. Larger yarn/hook equals bigger squares and a larger blanket. Just keep your hook size consistent throughout so your squares remain even.
