Amazing Crochet Flower Granny Square

This is a crochet flower border (5-petal flowers) worked onto a filet/grid fabric. I’ll explain it step by step, nice and clear 💚

PART 1: WHITE BASE (Filet Crochet Grid)

If you already have a grid, you can skip to Part 2.

Row pattern (basic filet)

1. Chain multiple of 4 + 2
2. Row 1:
   • Double crochet (dc) in 4th chain from hook
   • Chain 2, skip 2 chains, dc in next chain
   • Repeat to end
3. Turn work

Each row:

• Chain 3
• Dc in next dc
• Chain 2, skip chain-2 space, dc in next dc

You should see small square holes like the photo.

PART 2: START FLOWER BORDER (Green Yarn)

Step 1: Attach yarn

1. Insert hook into corner square hole
2. Pull up green yarn
3. Slip stitch
4. Chain 1 (lock stitch)

---

PART 3: FLOWER CENTER (VERY IMPORTANT)

All stitches go inside ONE square hole.

Step 2: Make a circle

1. Chain 3 → counts as first double crochet
2. 11 double crochet (dc) into the same hole
   👉 Put hook through hole, yarn over, pull up, complete dc
3. You now have 12 dc total
4. Slip stitch into top of chain-3

✅ This is the round center

---

PART 4: PETALS (ONE BY ONE)

Each petal uses 2 stitches from the center circle

Petal structure:

sl st – ch 2 – 3 hdc – ch 2 – sl st

---

Petal 1 (slow)

1. Slip stitch into next dc
2. Chain 2
3. 3 half double crochet (hdc) in SAME stitch
   • yarn over → insert → pull → yarn over → pull all loops
4. Chain 2
5. Slip stitch into next dc

🌸 One petal done

---

Petals 2–5

Repeat the exact same steps:

• Slip stitch next dc
• Ch 2
• 3 hdc
• Ch 2
• Slip stitch next dc

👉 After 5 petals, flower is complete

---

PART 5: MOVE TO NEXT FLOWER

Step 6: Connect

1. Chain 3
2. Insert hook into next square hole on the white fabric
3. Slip stitch

Now you’re ready to make the next flower center

---

FULL REPEAT PATTERN

Attach → 12 dc center → 5 petals → ch 3 → sl st next hole

Repeat along the edge.

---

PART 6: CORNER FLOWER (IMPORTANT)

At corners:

• Still make 1 full flower
• Place it diagonally across the corner hole
• Keep chain-3 a little loose so it doesn’t pull

---

COMMON PROBLEMS & FIXES

❌ Flower curls
✅ Use bigger hook or loosen hdc

❌ Petals too flat
✅ Use 4 hdc instead of 3

❌ Edge pulls tight
✅ Use chain 4 between flowers

---

OPTIONAL VARIATIONS

• 🌼 Bigger flower: use 14 dc center
• 🌸 Pointy petals: use dc instead of hdc
• 🌿 Add leaves between flowers
• 🎨 Two-color flowers (yellow center, green petals)
