How to Crochet for Beginners Crochet Flower Square Motif

Crocheting a flower square motif is a great beginner project! Below is a step-by-step guide that will help you crochet a simple flower square motif, which can be used for blankets, pillows, or other decorative items

Materials Needed:

Yarn: Choose a
Crochet Hook: A
Scissors
Yarn Needle

Stitches Used

Chain (ch): Basic
Slip Stitch (sl st): To
Single Crochet (sc): Creates tight stitches.
Double Crochet (dc): Taller stitch for creating petals.
Treble Crochet (tr): Even taller stitch used for creating petals.
Magic Ring: A method for starting a circle.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Create a Magic Ring (or start with a chain circle)

Magic Ring: Wrap the yarn around your fingers and pull the yarn through to create an adjustable loop.
Chain Circle Alternative: Chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a loop.

2. Round 1 – Center of the Flower

Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
Work 11 more double crochets (dc) into the magic ring or chain circle. You will have 12 stitches in total.
Slip stitch into the top of the starting chain 3 to close the round.
Tighten the Magic Ring by pulling the tail of the yarn.

3. Round 2 – Creating Flower Petals

Chain 2 (this counts as your first half-double crochet, hdc).
In the next stitch, work 2 double crochets (dc), then chain 2.
In the same stitch, work 2 double crochets (dc) and 1 half-double crochet (hdc). This completes one petal.
Skip 1 stitch, then in the next stitch, repeat the following:
- 1 hdc, 2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc, 1 hdc.
Continue this pattern for a total of 6 petals.
Slip stitch into the top of the starting chain 2 to close the round.

4. Round 3 – Transition to a Square

Slip stitch into the next stitch and the corner space created by the chain 2.
In the corner space: Chain 3, work 2 dc, chain 2, 3 dc to form the first corner.
In the space between petals, work 3 dc (this is the side of your square).
In the next corner space, work 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc.
Repeat this pattern around for all four sides.
Slip stitch into the top of the starting chain 3 to close the round.

5. Round 4 – Build Up the Square

For the next round, you’ll continue building up the square by adding rounds of double crochets.
In each corner space, work 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc to form the new corners.
In each side space, work 3 dc.

6. Finishing

When your square reaches the desired size, fasten off the yarn.
Use your yarn needle to weave in any loose ends.

Tips:

Blocking: Once you’ve completed your motif, you can block it to help it hold its shape.
Joining Motifs: If you plan on making a larger project like a blanket, you can crochet more motifs and join them using single crochet or slip stitches.

Now you have a beautiful flower square motif!
