Granny Flower Hexagon Crochet Pattern: Step-by-Step Guide

The Granny Flower Hexagon is a beautiful, layered motif perfect for adding floral charm and geometric interest to projects such as blankets, cushions, bags, or wearable accessories. This detailed tutorial walks you through creating a flower-inspired hexagonal granny square with textured petals and a clean solid border. Using the vibrant Poly Cherry yarn color palette, this motif combines flower petal stitches with classic hexagon shaping, balancing complexity with clarity to guide crocheters of all levels.

Quick Overview of Pattern

• Begin with a magic ring foundation and six petal bases.
• Build flower petals with half double crochets (HDC), double crochets (DC), treble crochets (TR), and single crochets (SC).
• Construct decorative chain loops and bridging stitches between petals.
• Shape corners with cluster increases for hexagonal form.
• Finish edges with a series of SC, HDC, and DC rounds for smooth clean borders.

Notes

• Maintain consistent tension throughout rounds for clean edges.
• Use stitch markers to help mark corners and pattern repeats.
• When changing yarn colors, secure ends well to prevent unraveling.
• If you want a larger hexagon, use a 3.0 mm hook as suggested.
• Blocking after finishing improves the motif’s shape and ease of joining multiple motifs.

Skill Level

Intermediate. Incorporates fundamental crochet stitches plus combining stitch groups, working into chain spaces, and shaping with chain loops and varied heights (HDC, DC, TR).

Materials

• Yarn: Poly Cherry yarn in four colors: Bright Yellow, Apple Green, Moss Green, and Bottle Green
• Crochet Hook: 4/0 (2.5 mm) recommended; 3.0 mm for larger sizes
• Other Supplies: Stitch markers, scissors, tapestry needle, lighter for sealing yarn ends

Measurements / Sizing

• Finished motif measures approximately 14 cm across when using 2.5 mm hook.
• 3.0 mm hook will yield a slightly larger motif (approx. 16 cm).
• Perfect for joining to create larger projects or adding as an appliqué.

Gauge and Stitch Pattern

• Gauge depends on yarn and hook tension: expect firm fabric with defined petals.
• Combination of single crochet (SC), half double crochet (HDC), double crochet (DC), and treble crochet (TR) creates dimensional texture.
• Chain loops and chain spaces provide petal separation and shape to corners.

Stitch Abbreviations

• ch = chain
• sc = single crochet
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• tr = treble crochet
• sl st = slip stitch
• st(s) = stitch(es)

Special Stitches

Magic Ring (Magic Circle):
An adjustable loop to start a round with no hole, pulling tight after first stitches are worked.

Chain Loop:
Chain a specified number of stitches (e.g., 3 or 4) and join with slip stitch or work stitches into chain spaces formed for decorative bridging.

The Crochet Pattern!

Round 1 (Moss Green)

• Create a magic ring (or chain 4 and slip stitch to form a ring).
• Work 1 single crochet (SC), chain 3; repeat this sequence 6 times into the center of the ring.
• Join with a slip stitch to the first SC to complete the round.

Round 2 (Moss Green)

• In each chain-3 space from Round 1, work the following cluster:
  • (1 half double crochet (HDC), 1 double crochet (DC), chain 1, DC, HDC).
• This provides a fuller petal shape.
• Join with a slip stitch to complete the round.

Round 3 (Bright Yellow)

• Starting in a chain-1 space from Round 2, work (1 SC, chain 4, 1 SC) to create chain loops.
• Then chain 2, and work a long single crochet (SC) down into the base of Round 1 (center ring).
• Chain 2 again to finish the loop.
• Repeat this pattern around to maintain petal spacing.

Round 4

• In each chain-4 loop created in Round 3, work:
  • 4 double crochets (DC), 1 treble crochet (TR), 4 DC.
• After the petal cluster, work a single crochet (SC) into the long SC stitch from the previous round to anchor petals.
• Repeat around to form rounded flower petals.

Round 5

• For each side:
  • Start with 2 SC, 2 half double crochets (HDC) to create a base.
  • In the treble crochet (TR) stitch at petal tip, work the cluster: 2 double crochets (DC), chain 2, 2 DC.
  • Continue down the side with 2 HDC, 2 SC.
• Repeat for all sides to shape the hexagon evenly.

Round 6 (Apple Green)

• In chain-2 corner spaces, work 2 DC, chain 2, 2 DC to build corners.
• Along sides between petals, work 1 DC into each stitch for a solid frame.
• Between petals, create a decorative sequence of chain-3 slip stitch connections to join parts gracefully.

Round 7 (Bottle Green)

• For corners: work 1 SC, chain 2, 1 SC.
• Along sides, crochet in a sequence of SC, HDC, DC stitches that shape and connect the flower petals and hexagon sides smoothly.
• Use chain spaces strategically to bridge sections.

Round 8

• Work 3 SC stitches into each corner chain-2 space to reinforce corners.
• Complete sides with SC, HDC, and DC stitches to create a clean, solid edging around the hexagon motif.
