Pattern Notes
Written in English US crochet terms.
This pattern works well with three different colors of yarn.
The pattern consists of 5 rounds, and each round is joined with a slip stitch to close. You do not turn after each round.
There are photo tutorials throughout the pattern and video tutorials after the written pattern.
Chain 3 at beginning of rounds does count as a double crochet.
Crochet Stitches Used
Chain Stitch (CH ST)
Begin the chain stitch by making a slip knot on the crochet hook. Leave about a 5-inch tail on the yarn. This will be weaved in later.
Next snug up the yarn loop that is on the crochet hook; while it should be firm, it should also be loose enough to slide on the hook with ease.
Keeping the loop on the hook, insert the hook in the stitch, wrap the yarn over the crochet hook from back to front. Draw the yarn through the loop. Yarn over again and draw the yarn through both loops that are currently on the hook. (The first chain stitch is complete).
Double Crochet (DC)
Yarn over, insert the hook through both loops and pull up a loop. Next, yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook. Lastly, yarn over again and pull through the last two loops on the hook.
Half Double Crochet (HDC)
Yarn over, insert the hook through both loops and pull up a loop. Next, yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook.
Treble Crochet Stitch (TR)
Yarn over hook twice, insert hook through both loops of the stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, you will have four loops on the hook. Next yarn over and pull through two loops. There will be three loops on the hook. Yarn over, pull through two loops and yarn over for the last time and pull through the remaining two loops.
Two Methods to Begin a Circle
The first thing we do is make a circle to crochet round 1 in. This can be done using one of two methods.
- Use a magic ring, aka magic loop, magic circle, to form a circle. If you are new to crochet, here is a tutorial on How to Crochet the Magic Circle (magic ring). https://patternprincess.com/master-magic-circle/
- Chain 4 or 5 stitches and slip stitch back into the first chain to form a circle.
There are pros and cons to each method. Using the magic ring allows you to pull the center closed after crocheting the first round of stitches. However, it may not have as much strength as creating the circle with chain stitches. When using the chain stitches method, the center circle may be more visible.
Begin
Starting with the yarn color you want for the center of the flower.
Begin the chain stitch by making a slip knot on the crochet hook.
Then start with either the Magic Circle or the Chain 4 method of creating a circle.
If using the chain 4 method, CH 4 and SL ST into the first CH to form the ring.
Round 1
Working inside the circle or ring, CH 3 (Counts as a DC). Work 9 DC in the ring. Join with a SL ST to the top CH of the beginning CH 3 to close the round. (10 DC).
Fasten off yarn.
Round 2
Switch yarn color to the color you want to use for the daisy flower petals. Join yarn to any stitch.
CH 3 (Couns as a DC). 1 DC in the first DC. [2 DC in the next DC]. Repeat between [ ] around. Join with a SL ST to the top CH of the beginning CH 3 to close the round. (20DC).
Round 3
Continue using the same yarn color.
SK the first DC. [(1 DC, 1 TR) in the next DC. 3 TR in the next DC. (1 TR, 1 DC) in the next DC. SL ST into the next DC] This forms the first petal. Repeat between [ ] around. Close the round by joining with a SL ST to the first SP that was skipped. (35 STs).
Fasten off yarn.
Round 4
Add a new color. The color you want to use for the granny square background color.
SL ST into the center of any 3 TR cluster. CH 1, SC in the same SP as the SL ST. [1 HDC in the next TR, 1 DC in the next TR, 1 TR in the next DC, 1 TR in the next SL ST from the previous round. 1 TR in the next DC, 1 DC in the next TR, HDC in the next TR, SC in the next TR]. Repeat between [ ] around 4 times, and not working the SC ST in the last repeat. Instead close the round with a SL ST into the first SC. (40 STs).
Round 5
Continue using the same color yarn.
CH 1. SC into the same SP as the SL ST. [1 HDC in the next ST, 1 DC in the next ST, 2 DC in the next ST. Make the corner. (1 TR, CH 1, 1 TR in the next ST). 2 DC in the next ST, 1 DC in the next ST, 1 HDC in the next ST, 1 SC in the next 3 STs]. Repeat between [ ] around. In the last repeat, end with 1 SC in each of the last 2 STs. Close the round with a SL ST into the first SC ST. (51 STs).
Finishing
Cut off a long tail about 10-12 inches. Pull the yarn through the last stitch. Use the tapestry needle to weave the yarn back and forth through the crochet stitches. At least 4 or 5 times. Cut off any excess yarn.

Blocking Squares
Blocking your granny squares is an important step that helps your finished pieces look neat, professional, and uniform in size.
It evens out the stitches, defines the shape, and makes joining squares much easier—especially when you’ve used different stitch styles like circles and granny clusters.
Simply pin your squares to the correct dimensions on a blocking mat, lightly spray with water or steam, and let them dry completely.
A little time spent blocking goes a long way toward giving your project that polished, finished look!
