Lacy Crochet Flower Square Pattern

This lacy crochet flower square is the perfect square for spring and summer blankets. The beauty is that when working with squares, you can easily decide how big you want to make the blanket as you go along.

Another beauty with a crochet square is that you can use up all your leftover yarns! Each square can be crocheted with two or more colors. You can also alternate the colors between the squares for another awesome look.

Crochet Flower Square Pattern Instructions

This is an easy crochet square to make. It is worked flat across all the rounds. Then, once complete, the flower is crocheted on top of the rounds in the middle of the square. It is super easy to do.

The crochet afghan square pattern makes for a great stashbuster project. Use up the smallest amount of yarn to create a unique set of squares for a colorful blanket. Other stashbuster squares include the Pretty Corners 5″ Lacy Granny Square, the 6.5″ Crochet Afghan Square, or the Mini Afghan Square.

Skill Level: Easy

Materials

• Yarn: Patons Canadiana, or any similar worsted-weight yarn.
• Crochet Hook: 4.00mm, or any hook suitable for yarn.
• Other: Measuring Tape, Scissors, Yarn Needle.

I used Patons Canadiana with a 4mm crochet hook. I crochet loosely, so you may need to go up in size if you find the stitches are too small.

Measurements

• 5.25″ Square

This afghan square measures 5.25 inches across. However, you can change the size by switching up your yarn and crochet hook sizes. A thicker yarn and larger hook will result in a slightly larger size and vice versa.

Special Stitch Instructions

• Standing Double Crochet: The Standing Double Crochet is an alternative to a chain 3 at the beginning of a round or row. The stitch blends in more than the starting chains and it just as easy if not easier to make.
• To make the stitch, start off with a slip knot on hook. Yarn over and insert hook into designated stitch, chain or space. Then finish the dc as normal.
• Standing Crochet Stitches

All stitches are easy to make. The only stitch that isn’t so popular is the Standing Double Crochet, which is an alternative to a chain 3 at the beginning of a round or row. The stitch blends in more than the starting chains, and it is just as easy, if not easier, to make.

To make the stitch, start off with a slip knot on the hook. Yarn over and insert hook into designated stitch, chain, or space. Then finish the dc as normal. See images below:
