Free African Flower Square Pattern for Beginners – Pattern

Perfect! 💕 What you’ve shown is a floral granny square motif — it starts as a flower in the middle and then gets squared off with background stitches (pink border here). Let me guide you step by step so you can make it:


🧶 Materials

  • Yarn in 4 colors (lavender, green, yellow, dark purple, pink in your photo)
  • Crochet hook to match yarn size (usually 3.5–4.5 mm)
  • Scissors, yarn needle

🌸 Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Flower Center (Lavender)

  1. Magic ring, chain 3 (counts as dc).
  2. Work 11 dc into the ring (12 total).
  3. Slip stitch to join, fasten off lavender.

2. Green Round (Leaves/Separators)

  1. Attach green in any dc.
  2. Chain 3, dc in same stitch, chain 2, 2 dc in next stitch.
  3. Skip 1 stitch, repeat around to form clusters (like little leaf shapes).
  4. Join with slip stitch, fasten off.

3. Yellow Round (Petals)

  1. Attach yellow in any chain-2 space.
  2. Work 4–5 dc in the space, chain 1.
  3. Repeat in each space — you’ll get 8 “petals.”
  4. Slip stitch to join, fasten off.

4. Dark Purple Round (Frame Circle)

  1. Attach purple yarn in any chain-1 space between petals.
  2. Chain 3 (counts as dc), work dc in each stitch and space around.
  3. This creates a neat circle around the flower.

5. Pink Round (Squaring the Motif)

This round turns your circle into a square.

  1. Attach pink yarn.
  2. Work dc in each stitch around, but in 4 evenly spaced points, make corners: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in same stitch).
  3. Keep working until the circle stretches into a square.

6. Next Pink Rounds (Border)

  1. Continue working dc around with the same corner increases (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner.
  2. Work until the square reaches the size you want.

✨ That’s it — you’ll have a floral granny square just like the one in your photo. You can join many of these to make a blanket, pillow, bag, or even clothing.
