Daisy Wheel Granny Square Pattern

Granny squares have been the most famous motifs (and still!), and daisies are adored flowers by many worldwide. While combining these two themes, I’ve used five of my favorite colors to achieve this beautiful daisy granny square design. However, you’re welcome to choose your own favorite colors!

Whether sewing them together for a cute big blanket or even remaining single as a classical granny pocket or something else, it would be a perfect option!

Though it requires a few more skills than a basic square, don’t worry, I’m here to help you learn and practice this heart-touching granny. I’ll provide recommended materials, helpful tips, and more to guide you through this process.

Supplies You Will Need

Before getting started, here are some tips and suggestions on choosing the right materials:

Choosing the yarn: I have chosen the DK or light worsted cotton yarn in five colors. I love it for the granny squares because it holds its shape well (this is crucial for grannies!), has so many colors available, and is super durable. However, there is no strict rule for the type of yarn to choose, but lightweight, as I used, is better to show good details. Using a specific yarn will also change by the item you will sew.

Crochet Hook: Since using the thin yarn, I am using a crochet hook with a 3.5 mm size. Following my recommended yarns and hook will achieve the same gauge. When crocheting many granny squares at a time, ensure your comfort on a specific hook!

Other Supplies: You will also need a yarn needle to weave in the ends (as changed the colors) and later to join the motifs together. A pair of scissors will be the best option when playing with many colors.

Quick Tips

Setting your squares right after making them: After you finish making your square, you can make it look neat and hold its shape by pinning it down on a surface while it’s a little wet and letting it dry. This gives your square a nice, even shape.
Count your stitches: Make sure you’re counting your stitches as you go. It will lessen the mistakes, and the square will look neat.
