Materials You’ll Need:

Before we dive into the pattern, gather the following materials:

2. Crochet hook: Appropriate size for your yarn choice (typically G or H for worsted weight yarn).
3. Scissors
4. Yarn needle

Now, let’s get started on creating your beautiful Daisy Granny Square!

Step 1: Slip Knot and Chain

1. Start with a slip knot. Make a loop with your yarn, insert your hook, and pull the working yarn through the loop.
2. Chain 4. This will serve as your starting chain.

Step 2: Forming the Ring

1. Insert your hook into the first chain (the one farthest from the hook).
2. Yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook to form a small ring.

Step 3: Round 1 – Petal Base

1. Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet).
2. Make 1 double crochet into the ring.
3. Chain 2, make 2 double crochets into the ring.
4. Repeat the * to * pattern three more times, creating a total of 4 clusters of 2 double crochets separated by chain-2 spaces.
5. Slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain-3 to close the round.

Step 4: Round 2 – First Layer of Petals

1. Slip stitch into the next double crochet and into the first chain-2 space.
2. Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet), make 2 more double crochets into the same chain-2 space.
3. Chain 2, skip 2 double crochets, and make 3 double crochets into the next chain-2 space.
4. Repeat the * to * pattern three more times, creating a total of 4 petals.
5. Slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain-3 to close the round.

Step 5: Round 3 – Second Layer of Petals

1. Slip stitch into the next two double crochets and into the first chain-2 space.
2. Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet), make 2 more double crochets into the same chain-2 space.
3. Chain 2, make 3 double crochets into the next chain-2 space.
4. Repeat the * to * pattern three more times.
5. Slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain-3 to close the round.

Step 6: Adding the Center

1. Change to a contrasting color for the daisy’s center.
2. Slip stitch into any chain-2 space from the previous round.
3. Chain 4, slip stitch into the same chain-2 space.
4. Repeat the * to * pattern in each chain-2 space around.
5. Slip stitch to the first chain-4 space to close the round.

Step 7: Finishing

1. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in.
2. Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle.
3. Block your Daisy Granny Square to ensure it retains its shape and size.
