PETALS (Round 2 — White)

1. Join white yarn in any dc with a sl st.
2. Ch 3 (counts as first part of a 3-tr cluster).
3. Make a 3-tr cluster in the same stitch:
   • [Yarn over twice, insert hook in st, yarn over, pull up a loop, (yarn over, pull through 2 loops) twice] ×3 (You will have four loops on your hook.)
   • Yarn over, pull through all 4 loops.
4. Ch 3 (petal separator).
5. In next st, work a 4-tr cluster:
   • [Yarn over twice, insert into the st, yarn over, pull up a loop, (yarn over, pull through 2) twice] ×4 (You will have 5 loops on your hook.)
   • Yarn over, pull through all 5 loops.
6. Ch 3 after each petal.
7. Repeat step 5/6 around. You should have 1 starting 3-tr cluster and 11 4-tr clusters, total 12 petals.
8. Sl st into the top of the first cluster to join.
9. Fasten off white. Do not worry if it curls at this point; it will flatten in the next round.

SQUARING & BACKGROUND (Round 3 — Green)

2. Ch 3 (counts as dc). 2 dc in same sp.

Conclusion

The Daisy Granny Square is a vibrant, beginner-friendly motif that is perfect for blankets, pillows, bags, or other crafty projects. Each round uses simple stitches, but the result is a sophisticated floral look. Experiment with different color combinations to suit your style!

Pattern Correction

• In Round 2, the first petal starts as a 3-tr cluster with beginning ch-3; subsequent petals are 4-tr clusters.
• Be consistent in your corners with (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc, ch 1) to keep the square shape.

Tips

• If your square curls or buckles, block it gently.
• Pull the magic ring tight to prevent a hole in the center.
• Use a stitch marker at the start of rounds if you have trouble finding the top of your beginning chain.
• Weave in ends after each color change to keep your work neat.
