Free Crochet Pattern – Daisy Granny Square
Hello – In honour of August I’ve been making these gorgeous Daisy Granny Squares. I’m so happy to be able to share the pattern for them…
I’ve also managed to film a tutorial for them and how I join them – if you are new to crochet or just prefer to follow a visual tutorial please go and have a look here.
I’ve joined my squares in two 3×3 pieces and have simply joined them to create a lovely big bag… I’ll share some photos here later, but for now here’s the square pattern – I hope you enjoy making them as much as I do!

{Pattern starts}
Rnd 1: Using yarn A, ch5, join with a sl st to form a ring, ch1 (does not count as st) 12dc into ring, join with a sl st to first dc. Fasten off yarn A. [12dc]

If you are joining as you go – create one square to round 5, the others will be joined as you work round 5.
Rnd 5: Ch3 {counts as 1tr}, 3tr into next sp {between groups of 3tr}, 3tr into next sp, [3tr, ch2, 3tr] into corner ch2-sp, *[3tr into next sp] three times, [3tr, ch2, 3tr] into corner ch2-sp; rep from * twice more, 2tr in same sp as beg ch-3, join with a sl st to top of beginning ch3. Fasten off yarn C. Weave in ends.
I’ve joined my squares to make a bag using the join as you go method. You can see the method I use in the video tutorial here, alternatively, you can join your squares by sewing them together or crocheting with a slip stitch/double crochet.
As always if you do make them, I’d love to see your projects – please feel free to tag me over on Instagram: @Lululoves_UK or use the hashtag #luluovescrochet
