This is a classic crochet granny square made in three soft shades: cream (center), blush (middle), and rose (outer edge). Granny squares are worked in rounds, using double crochet (dc) and chain stitches.
Let’s break it down clearly so you can follow easily—even if you’re a beginner!
🧶 What You Need:
- 3 colors of medium-weight yarn
- 4.0–5.0 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
🍀 Stitch Guide:
- ch = chain
- dc = double crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
- sp = space
- corner = ch 2 between dc clusters
🪡 Step-by-Step Instructions:
🔸 Round 1: Center (Cream color)
- Ch 4, sl st to form a ring (or use a magic ring)
- Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in ring
- Ch 2 (corner), 3 dc, ch 2 → repeat 3 more times
(You’ll have 4 dc clusters separated by ch-2 corners) - Sl st to top of ch-3 to join
- Fasten off
→ You now have a small square with 4 corners
🔸 Round 2: Second Color (Blush)
- Attach new yarn in any corner space
- Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in same corner, ch 2, 3 dc (corner made)
- Ch 1, in next corner: 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc
- Repeat around
- Join with sl st to top of ch-3
- Fasten off
→ Now you have 4 corner clusters and 4 side clusters
🔸 Round 3: Third Color (Rose)
- Attach new yarn in any corner space
- Ch 3, 2 dc in same space, ch 2, 3 dc (corner)
- Ch 1, 3 dc in next ch-1 space (side), ch 1
- In next corner: 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc
- Repeat the pattern: sides get 3 dc in spaces, corners get 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc
Continue until you reach start, then sl st to join. Fasten off and weave ends.
✅ Final Tips:
- Block the square for a perfect shape
- You can continue more rounds using the same pattern logic (corners: 3dc, ch2, 3dc | sides: 3dc in each space)
