About This Daisy Granny Square Crochet Pattern

This delightful Daisy Granny Square pattern brings a fresh twist to the beloved classic granny square design. Created by Barbara Summers, it features charming daisy-like petals radiating from the center, making each square a miniature work of art. The pattern includes two variations—Square A with four colors and Square B with three colors—giving you flexibility to match any project aesthetic. Whether you're crafting a cozy blanket, decorative cushion covers, or a unique handmade bag, these versatile squares work beautifully together or as standalone accents.

Each square measures approximately 4.5 to 5 inches depending on your yarn choice, making them ideal building blocks for larger projects. The pattern works equally well with bamboo, cotton, acrylic blends, or alpaca yarn, allowing you to customize the texture and drape to suit your needs.

Why You'll Love This Daisy Granny Square Crochet Pattern

I absolutely love how this pattern transforms simple granny square technique into something so charming and fresh! The daisy motif adds such a lovely vintage-meets-modern feel that works with any color palette you choose. What really excites me is the versatility—you can make a whole blanket where each square tells its own color story, or keep things uniform for a more polished look. I appreciate that it works up quickly, so you get that instant gratification of seeing your beautiful daisy squares pile up. The pattern is straightforward enough for confident beginners but interesting enough to keep experienced crocheters engaged. Plus, there's something deeply satisfying about watching those petals emerge as you work each round!

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with this versatile daisy pattern by switching up the color combinations to create completely different moods! Try working with ombre gradients where each square transitions through shades of the same color family for a stunning watercolor effect. For a vintage vibe, I pair cream centers with dusty rose and sage green, while bold jewel tones in sapphire, emerald, and ruby create dramatic modern statements.

You can also play with texture by mixing yarn types within the same project—combine cotton squares with fuzzy mohair blend squares for added visual and tactile interest. I've created gorgeous baby blankets using soft pastels for Square A and bright primary colors for Square B, alternating them for a playful patchwork look.

For seasonal projects, I swap in metallics—adding gold or silver yarn in the final rounds creates festive holiday pieces. Sometimes I work all squares in neutral tones except for one pop of color in the daisy center, creating a sophisticated scattered bloom effect across a blanket. The possibilities truly are endless with this adaptable pattern!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to join rounds properly before changing colors, which creates gaps and uneven edges in your daisy petals ✗ Skipping the magic ring technique and using chain rings instead, resulting in a visible hole at the center of your daisy ✗ Missing chain spaces when working the corner construction rounds, causing your square to lose its shape and become distorted ✗ Pulling tension too tight during color changes, which puckers the fabric and prevents the square from laying flat properly

Assembly Instructions

  • Weave in all yarn ends securely on the wrong side of each square using a yarn needle
  • Block each square to the same size by pinning to measurements and lightly steaming or dampening
  • Join squares together using your preferred method: whipstitch, slip stitch, or single crochet seams
  • For blankets, arrange squares in desired color pattern before joining to ensure balanced color distribution
  • Add a border around your finished project by working single crochet or your favorite edging stitch around the perimeter

Important Notes

  • 💡Tension is not critical for this pattern, but maintaining consistent tension will help your squares stay uniform in size
  • 💡Each round must be completed before changing to the next color to achieve the distinct daisy petal effect
  • 💡The magic ring technique creates a tight center with no visible hole - practice this if you're unfamiliar with it
  • 💡You can customize by using two, three, four, or more colors depending on your preference and available yarn
  • 💡Chain spaces are crucial for creating proper corners - count them carefully to ensure your square lays flat
  • 💡Different yarn weights and hook sizes will change the final square size, so make a test square first for large projects

FAQs

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes! The pattern works with various yarn weights. Just use the recommended hook size for your chosen yarn. Keep in mind that different weights will change the final square size, so make a test square first if you're planning a larger project requiring uniform sizing.

What's the difference between Square A and Square B?

Square A uses four colors with a simpler Round 2 construction, while Square B uses three colors with a slightly different Round 2 technique that creates more defined chain spaces. Both create beautiful daisy effects, so choose based on your color preferences and the look you want.

How many squares do I need for a blanket?

It depends on your desired blanket size and square dimensions. For a lap blanket using 4.5-inch squares, you'll need approximately 80-100 squares. For a throw blanket, plan for 120-150 squares. Always make a test square first to confirm your exact measurements.

Can I make these squares larger?

Absolutely! After completing Round 6, continue adding rounds using the established corner pattern. Work sets of double crochet stitches along each side with (2dc, ch1, 2dc) in corner spaces. Each additional round will increase the square size by about half an inch.

What's the best way to join these squares together?

Popular methods include whipstitch seaming on the wrong side, slip stitch joining through back loops, or joining-as-you-go with single crochet. Each method creates a different look, so choose based on whether you want invisible seams or a decorative joining ridge.
