3.5 Inch Popcorn Crochet Flower Afghan Square
This crochet flower afghan square is worked up in the popcorn stitch to resemble flower petals in the middle. It’s a simple, yet beautiful flower pattern.
The texture and floral design is perfect for summer bags, pillows and floor mats. And if you have a daughter, this would also make for the perfect square to use in a doll blanket. Another option for this beautiful motif is to join them into an ear warmer or headband to keep your ears nice and cozy in the cold weather.
One thing I love about this crochet popcorn flower square is that you can use the smallest amounts of scraps in your yarn stash. Plus, it’s fastened off after each round, making it super easy to work on a bunch of partially completed squares.
The color options are endless because you can mix and match the colors so that each square is unique. On the other hand, you can also make them all the same to match your home decor.
The finished size measures approximately 3.5 inches across. For a 3″ square, omit the last round. And for a 4″ square, add another round of single crochets. How cool is that?? Below is my original version in Patons Canadiana, which was worked up in only three rounds and measured about 3″.
