3-Inch Popcorn Crochet Flower Afghan Square

This crochet flower afghan square measures 3 inches across. I used the popcorn stitch in the center in order to create a nice flower.

This square would also look lovely on its own if crocheted in a variety of colours. Or, choose a variety of colours and mix and match it with other squares if you like. You can use it in a full-sized or in a baby afghan.

Other similar patterns include this tiny crochet square, the open center quick granny square, or this lacy flower afghan square.
