How to Crochet a Flower Granny Square Blanket?

First thing first, choose the flower granny square you want to use for your blanket.

You can choose one of the designs above, then make as many squares as needed to create a blanket in the size you want (maybe use different colors for each square).
Another fun option is to mix and match different squares to create an eye-catching blanket.

How to Join Granny Squares to Make a Blanket?

There are several ways to attach granny squares.
If you don’t want to deal with too many crochet squares lying around, you can join as you go.

You can join the squares using a single crochet stitch, slip stitch through back loops, or a whip stitch.
My favorite method is to join the granny squares using a slip stitch, as I did in my Flower Granny Square Blanket.

What Kind of Yarn Should You Use for Flower Granny Squares?

This depends on the type of project you want to make from those squares.
If you are going to make a blanket, then any type of soft cotton, acrylic or wool mix would be great.

But if you’re planning to make an item like coasters, trivets or a bag, then 100% cotton yarn is the most suitable for this kind of project, because it is easier to wash and safer when used as coasters or pot holders.

Is a Crochet Flower Granny Square Beginner Friendly Pattern?

It really depends on the pattern itself. You can find a lot of beginner to easy and free crochet flower granny squares patterns, and as you can see from the patterns above, there are also quite a lot of intermediate patterns, with more complicated techniques.

But it is always recommended to check the designer’s description of the pattern, some of these flower motives patterns (even the 3d flower granny square) can be much easier than they look!
