Flower Centered Granny

Description

If you have been wanting to step beyond the basic granny square, this pattern is such a satisfying project to sink your hook into! Don’t let the intermediate rating intimidate you, it is much simpler than it looks. We bring this cheerful motif to life using simple foundation stitches alongside cozy Puff Stitches and Popcorn Stitches. Even if the flower center puffs up a bit at first, don’t worry for a second, it flattens out into a perfectly square motif as soon as you work the outer granny rounds.

These 6-inch squares are endlessly versatile and so much fun to make! You can join several together to craft vibrant blankets, decorative pillow covers, tote bags, or cozy scarves. A set of these also makes a thoughtful, handmade housewarming or birthday gift that any loved one will treasure.
