Here is a step-by-step tutorial to make the flower granny square shown in your image (blue flower center + pink border). This uses puff-style petals and a simple DC border.

🌸 SUPER DETAILED CROCHET TUTORIAL – Flower Granny Square

You Will Need

• Yarn A (blue) – center flower
• Yarn B (pink) – square border
• Crochet hook 3.5–4 mm
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

🟦 ROUND 1 — Blue Center Circle

We start with 12 double crochet stitches.

1. Make a magic ring
2. Ch 3 → counts as first DC
3. Work 11 DC into the ring
4. Pull the ring tight
5. Sl st into the top of ch-3

✔ You now have 12 DC stitches forming a circle.

🟦 ROUND 2 — Blue Petal Clusters

We will make 12 long petals.
Each petal = DC3 together + chain 3.

Stitch Breakdown (DC3tog)

Yarn over → insert hook → pull up loop → yarn over → pull through 2
Repeat this 3 TIMES in the same stitch, then pull through all loops.

Work the Petals

1. In the first DC:
   • Ch 3 (counts as first part of cluster)
   • 2 DC unfinished
   • Yarn over → pull through all loops
   • Ch 3
2. In next DC:
   • DC3tog, ch 3

Repeat step 2 in all 12 stitches around.

❗ VERY IMPORTANT
You are NOT working in the chain spaces. You are working in each of the 12 DC from Round 1.

Join with sl st to first cluster.

✔ You now have 12 petals, each separated by a ch-3 space.

🟦 ROUND 3 — Forming the Square (Blue)

This round uses chain spaces from the petals.

We will alternate:

• Sides = DC3tog, ch 1, DC3tog
• Corners = DC3tog, ch 2, DC3tog

Think: big cluster = corner, small cluster = side.

Begin

Sl st into first ch-3 space behind a petal.

Work the sequence:

1. Corner (in same space):
   • DC3tog
   • Ch 2
   • DC3tog
2. Side (next ch-3 space):
   • DC3tog
   • Ch 1
   • DC3tog
3. Corner
4. Side
5. Repeat around → total 4 corners & 4 sides

Join with sl st. Fasten off blue.

✔ The shape now looks like a wavy square — that’s normal.

🟪 ROUND 4 — Pink Double Crochet Border

This round stabilizes the square.

Attach pink yarn in ANY corner ch-2 space.

Corner Formula

(2 DC, ch 2, 2 DC)

Side Formula

1 DC in EACH stitch across.

But here’s the detail:

Each side contains:

• 1 large cluster (from Round 3)
• 1 small cluster (from Round 3)
  Total stitches per side ≈ 14–16 DC depending on tension.

Steps

1. In corner space:
   (2 DC, ch 2, 2 DC)
2. Across the side:
   • DC into the top of each cluster stitch
   • There are 6 cluster tops per side (each cluster has 1 “top”)
   • So you place 1 DC in each cluster top
3. When you reach next corner ch-2 space:
   (2 DC, ch 2, 2 DC)

Repeat for all 4 sides.

Join and fasten off.

✔ Now your square is clean, even, and perfectly shaped!
