About This Daisy Granny Crochet Square Pattern

This pattern creates two Daisy Granny crochet squares with slightly different stitch starts and corner construction. The squares are worked in the round and finished with a simple outer border to give a neat square shape. You can make Square A using four colours and Square B using three colours, or adapt the colours to suit your project.

Why You'll Love This Daisy Granny Crochet Square Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it transforms simple stitches into a lively daisy motif that looks more complex than it is. I enjoy the way the colour changes create depth and interest without difficult techniques. The rounds are short and satisfying, so you get visible progress quickly which keeps me motivated. I find these squares perfect for using leftover yarn and they join together beautifully for blankets or cushion covers.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to change the look of this square just by swapping colours; try pastel tones for a soft baby blanket or bold brights for a statement throw.

I sometimes use a bulky yarn and larger hook to make oversized, chunky squares that are cosy and work up very quickly.

I also make mini versions for keychains by using a finer yarn and smaller hook; these are great for gifts and stash-busting.

Try different joins between squares to vary the finish — a decorative join in contrast colour can make each square pop.

For an alternate border, add extra rounds of single crochet or half double crochet to change the final size and texture.

I like to embroider a small centre detail or add a bead for a unique focal point; keep stitching light to avoid distorting the square.

If you want a more subtle look, use tonal shades of the same colour family for a modern, understated effect.

Consider changing the placement of the daisy rounds — swapping which rounds are contrasting colours changes the visual balance dramatically.

To make a cushion, join squares in a 3x3 or 4x4 layout and add a simple border to reach your desired dimensions before sewing to backing fabric.

I often block my squares before joining; this helps the edges match and gives a professional finish, especially when combining different yarns.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the ch1 spaces when instructed will make corner placement uneven; always work into the correct ch1-sp to maintain square shape. ✗ Not changing colour after completing the round can blur the daisy effect; fasten off and join your next colour at the points indicated for a crisp look. ✗ Forgetting to join rounds properly causes gaps or uneven edges; be sure to join each round as written and count stitches after a join to maintain accuracy. ✗ Leaving long tails unfastened makes finishing harder later; fasten off and hide ends as you go to keep a tidy finish and save time at the end.
