It looks like you’re working on a crochet flower motif with a green border — probably part of a granny square flower pattern. 🌼
Here’s how to make what you see in the picture:
🌼 Detailed Crochet Instructions
🧶 Materials
- Yarn: Medium (size 3 or 4) cotton or acrylic
- Color A: Yellow or cream (flower center)
- Color B: Green (leaves/square)
- Hook: 3.0 mm – 4.0 mm (depending on yarn)
- Scissors and yarn needle
🌸 Part 1: Flower Center (Yellow)
- Start with a magic ring
(or chain 5 and slip stitch to form a ring) - Round 1:
- Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
- Make 11 more dc into the ring → 12 dc total.
- Join with sl st to the top of chain 3.
- Pull ring tight.
- Round 2 – Petal Bases:
- Chain 1.
- In next stitch: (1 sc, chain 2, 1 sc).
- Repeat (1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc) in each stitch around.
- Join with sl st to first sc.
- You’ll have 12 little chain-2 spaces.
- Round 3 – Petals:
- Slip stitch into the first ch-2 space.
- (1 sc, 1 hdc, 3 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc) into that space.
- Repeat in each ch-2 space around.
- Join with sl st to first sc and fasten off Color A.
🍃 Part 2: Green Border (Shown in the Picture)
Now we’ll crochet the green square base around the flower.
- Attach Color B (green) to the back of the flower, in the gap between two petals.
Pull up a loop and chain 3 (counts as 1 dc). - Make the first corner:
In the same gap, work (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
→ That’s your corner group. - Next space (between next two petals):
Work 3 dc (no chain 2). - Next space:
Work another corner → (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc). - Continue this pattern all around:
- Corners: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)
- Sides: 3 dc
- When you reach the start, join with a sl st to the top of chain 3.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
✅ Result
You’ll have:
- A 12-petal yellow flower in the center
- A green square border around it
- Nicely defined corners from the (ch 2) spaces
This is a flower granny square base — you can connect several to make blankets, bags, tops, or coasters.
