Instructions

  • For this rose granny square pattern, we will be working in rounds.
  • Round 1: With the red yarn make a mr, then hdc x10 into the circle and pull tight (10).
  • Round 2: Make a hdc inc into the 3RD LOOP of every stitch (20). The 3rd loop is the horizontal bar that can be found below the back loop of the stitch, this leaves both the top loops of the stitch visible.
  • Round 3: In the 3rd loop, make a hdc inc, hdc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (30).
  • Round 4: In the 3rd loop, make a hdc inc, hdc x2. Then repeat for the rest of the round (40). Make a sc into the next stitch and then a sl st. Fasten off the red yarn and weave in the tail.
  • Now we will start crocheting the petals.
  • Step 1: Rejoin the red yarn to the center of the circle by going through the top loops that we left untouched.
  • Step 2: Dc x3 into the next stitch.
  • Step 3: Sl st into the next stitch.
  • Repeat steps 2 and 3 2 MORE TIMES.
  • Step 4: Skip a stitch, dc x5 into the next stitch.
  • Step 5: Skip a stitch and sl st into the next stitch.
  • Repeat steps 4 and 5 5 MORE TIMES.
  • Step 6: Skip a stitch, dc x6 into the next stitch.
  • Step 7: Skip a stitch and sl st into the next stitch.
  • Repeat steps 6 and 7 7 MORE TIMES. During the last few stitches if you are on the outer round, just use the front loop and leave the back loop alone for building your square.
  • Now the petal part of the rose granny square is finished. Fasten off the yarn and weave in the ends.
  • Round 5: Join the green yarn anywhere from round 4. Then in the same stitch: ch x2, dc2tog, ch x3, and dc3tog. *Then ch x4, skip 4 stitches, sc, ch x4, skip 4 stitches. In the next stitch: dc3tog, ch x3 and dc3tog. Repeat from *for the rest of the round, then after corner #4 ch x4, skip 4 stitches, sc, ch x4, skip 4 stitches. Finally sl st to the 1st cluster you made at the beginning of this round. Fasten off the green yarn and weave in the end.
  • Round 6: Join the cream yarn into the ch-3 space in between the cluster stitches in the corner. Ch x3 (counts as a dc), dc x2, ch x2, and dc x3 into the ch-3 space. Dc x4 into every ch-4 space, skip every sc, and for the other 3 corners: dc x3, ch x2, dc x3. When you get done with this round sl st to the beginning ch x3.
  • Round 7: Ch x3, dc in every stitch, then in the corners dc x2, ch x2, and dc x2. When you get done with the round, sl st to the beginning chains and fasten off the yarn. Weave in any ends you have.
  • And now your rose granny square pattern is done! I always suggest blocking it before adding it to projects to give it a crisp look.
