Retro Daisy Granny Square 2026

Pattern Notes The Retro Daisy Granny Square is a layered daisy motif worked in three colors and finished into a classic granny square shape. Unlike a standard granny square, the daisy "pops" because the petals are built up over several rounds and folded forward, giving the finished square real texture and dimension — perfect as a stand-out embellishment or joined together for a full blanket, cushion, or bag panel. Size This pattern is written for one size: a single motif measuring approximately 5in x 5in (12.7cm x 12.7cm) after light blocking. Motifs can be joined edge-to-edge to build larger projects. Join method is up to you (whip stitch, slip stitch, or your preferred flat join). Gauge Gauge isn't critical for a single motif, but it will affect your finished size go up or down a hook size if your square comes out noticeably larger or smaller than 5in x 5in. As a rough check, Rounds 1–3 should measure about 2in (5cm) across. Skill Level Easy. This pattern uses standard US crochet stitches, but working into stitches from two rounds back (to build the layered petals) is easiest if you're already comfortable reading granny-square style patterns. Materials DK weight yarn in 3 colors (Color A, B, C) — less than 1 skein of each color needed per motif 3.75mm (US F-5) crochet hook, or size needed to obtain gauge Tapestry needle Scissors
