Specialty Stitch & Technique Key: 

Invisible join

Pull the loop on the hook a little longer, remove the loop from the hook, insert the hook in the 2nd st from the back, take the loop through that st. Now continue on to the next round.

Notes:

• Ch 2 doesn’t count as a stitch unless mentioned otherwise.
• Granny squares are worked in joined rounds with an invisible join.
• If any part of the pattern feels tricky, I strongly recommend referring to the YouTube tutorial

Instructions:

Starting with Yarn B:

Round 1: Begin with a magic ring. Ch 2, then work 10 dc into the MR. Complete the round using an invisible join.

Round 2: Start with ch 2. Now, make 2 fpdc in the 1st stitch and continue around. Complete the round with a fpslst in the 1st stitch of this round and move on to the next stitch for round 3.

Petals:

Round 3: *[fpdc, fptc] in the next st, 3 fptc in the next st, [fptc, fpdc] in the next st, fpslst in the next st* repeat 4 more times. The last slst will be in the 1st slst of the round.

Finish off. 

Transition to Yarn A for the Border:

Attach Yarn A in the 1st Fptc (from the group of 3 fptc) but ensure it’s only in the back loop. Continue as per the instructions provided.

Round 1: blo hdc in the same st and in the next 2 sts *(hdcblo 3), dcblo in the next st, edcblo, tcblo, edcblo, dcblo* repeat 4 more times. Join with invisible join in the 1st st of the round. (40)

Finish off. 

Voila! Your Flower Granny Square is now complete. It’s amazing what these stitches, when combined in a particular sequence, can bring to life. The blend of the two yarns, with their unique textures and colors, elevates the design, making it versatile for various projects.

For those who prefer a visual guide, my YouTube tutorial will walk you through the entire process. I always find that watching someone else can help iron out any doubts.
