About the Crochet Fountain Flower Granny Square

This beautiful pattern was based on the crochet happy flower pattern which I just love. The happy flowers are a 6 petal flower so to make a square, I increased the number of petals to 8 in order to make the flower center of the square with the beautiful flower motif. 

Just like most granny squares, the flower granny squares work in joined rounds starting from the center. The entire square is only six rounds and measure approximately 4.5″ by 4.5″. 

Skill Level

The pattern is marked as an intermediate skill level since it requires stitches and stitch placements that aren’t just basic stitches at a beginner/easy level. Once you’ve made a square or two, it isn’t hard and the squares work up quickly. 

Stitches

The square start with half double crochets worked in a magic circle. You’ll then work a round of puff stitches and chain stitches. The next round works around those chain stitches to give you the outside part of the flower petals. The rest of the rounds use either double crochet stitches or single crochet stitches. 

The stitches are basic, but the pattern is rated at an intermediate skill level since it isn’t a beginner pattern and is just a bit above an easy pattern. Once you’ve done a few squares, they will be easy and you’ll fly through them.

Yarn

For the main sample, the solid color squares, I used Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Yarn. It’s an easy yarn to work with that looks great in all sorts of different projects including crochet squares. 

Unfortunately the beautiful terracotta color I used (called Terracotta Heather) has been discontinued, but Premier Anti-Pilling yarn in Rust is a similar color just without the slightly heathered look. 

If you decide to order directly from Premier Yarns, be sure to sign up for their reward program where you’ll get a coupon and reward points and I’ll get reward points. 

While I used a worsted weight acrylic yarn for these sample squares, I’ve also used worsted weight cotton yarn and the squares turned out so pretty. The first design I’ll release using these squares uses cotton yarn in different color combinations. I am so excited for you to see it!
