Perfect for those just starting out or looking to expand their skills, this square is not only easy to crochet but also a fantastic way to bring bright, joyful designs into your creations.
Why the Daisy Granny Square is Special
What makes the Daisy Granny Square so special is its floral theme. The design mimics a daisy’s shape, with petals radiating from the center of the square, surrounded by a neat and simple border. This eye-catching square is an ideal addition to blankets, pillows, or even clothing, giving your projects a playful and nature-inspired touch.
Key Features:
- Floral Centerpiece: The daisy motif is the star of the show, offering a burst of creativity and color.

Perfect for Beginners
The Daisy Granny Square is an excellent project for beginners who want to try something a little more decorative without getting overwhelmed. It offers the opportunity to work with several different stitches while maintaining a pattern that’s still very approachable. Plus, the mix of texture and design gives crocheters a rewarding project that’s not too complicated.
Stitches You’ll Use:
- Chain Stitch (ch): The foundation of many crochet patterns, chains help create spaces and structure within the square.
- Half-Double Crochet (hdc): A versatile stitch that offers a slightly shorter height than the double crochet but is still quick to work up.
- Double Crochet (dc): A popular and essential stitch that forms much of the daisy and surrounding square.
- Cluster Stitch: A fun stitch that groups multiple stitches together, creating the petal-like shapes that give the square its floral appearance.
With these stitches, you can crochet a daisy that’s both fun and simple, making it a wonderful learning experience for beginners!

Joining Granny Squares
Joining granny squares is like piecing together a colorful puzzle, turning individual squares into a cohesive masterpiece. Whether you’re creating a blanket, scarf, or cushion, the process of joining adds a final touch of creativity and satisfaction. With various methods like whip stitch, slip stitch, or join-as-you-go, you can customize the look and feel of your project.
Whip Stitch
To join your granny squares using the whip stitch method, you will need a yarn needle and yarn in the same color as your square.
- Hold two squares together with the right sides facing out and align the stitches.
- Working from right to left, sew whip stitches through each set of loops from both granny squares.
- You can either sew through one loop on each square, or through both loops on each square.
- Repeat across the granny square to join them together.
Joining Granny Squares with the Slip Stitch Method
To join your granny squares using the slip stitch method, you will need a crochet hook and some yarn.
- Start by holding two squares together with the wrong sides facing out and align the stitches.
- Insert your hook through the outer loops of the granny square, the front loops on the square facing you, and the back loop of the square facing away from you.
- Yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook.
- Insert your hook into the next set of loops on your granny square.
- Yarn over and pull through to form the next slip stitch.
- Repeat across the granny square to join them together.
Blocking
Blocking granny squares is a fun and satisfying way to bring out the beauty in your crochet! Here are some easy and effective methods to try:
- Wet Blocking: Soak your square in water, gently shape it, and pin it down on a blocking mat until dry. It’s like giving your square a spa day!
- Steam Blocking: Use a steamer or iron to lightly steam the square while it’s pinned, watching the stitches pop into place.
- Spray Blocking: Mist your square with water, pin it to shape, and let it air dry for a fresh, crisp finish.
Each method helps ensure your squares are even, making your final project look amazing!
