This week’s square is based on MaryEllen’s Easy Daisy Granny Square. Like the pattern title says, this square really is easy to make. After the flower, the square is just your typical granny square. Here is a photo of my completed square:
Week 19 Completed Square
The Pattern, With Tutorial Photos
I used a size H hook to complete this square. It measures 6 inches by 6 inches, as all squares will need to measure. Please select the appropriate size hook for your squares to measure 6 inches as well.
I used 3 colors (colors A-C), so the pattern is written for 3 colors. If you use more/less colors, make the appropriate adjustments.
Abbreviations (for a tutorial of each stitch, see the links page in the menu):
ch – chain
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
