How To Crochet 3D Flower Granny Square

Materials Needed:

• Yarn of your choice
• Crochet hook suitable for your yarn

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will create a stunning granny square featuring a 3D Frangipani flower. This step-by-step guide follows closely to the video instructions provided by Tiny Elefantt.

Step 1: Creating the Magic Ring

1. Form the Magic Ring: Wrap the yarn around your fingers twice, pull through a loop, and chain one.
2. Single Crochets: Chain one at the start of the row, which typically does not count as a stitch. Work five single crochets into the ring.
3. Tighten the Ring: Identify the loop to tighten the ring by gently pulling the tail and finding the strand that moves. Pull it firmly to close the inner circle tightly, then slip stitch to the first stitch of the round.

Step 2: Forming the Base

1. Chain One: Chain one (does not count as a stitch).
2. Single Crochet: Make a single crochet in the same stitch.
3. Chain Three: Chain three and repeat this step in each stitch.
4. Join: Close this round by slip stitching to the first single crochet to create five chain spaces.

Step 3: Adding Petals

1. Prepare for Petals: Place stitch markers in each of the five single crochet stitches for reference.
2. Chain Spaces: Slip stitch in the first chain space, chain three, then work five double crochets into the chain space.
3. Finishing Petal: Chain three again and slip stitch in the same chain space. Repeat this process four more times.

Step 4: Crafting Additional Chain Spaces

1. Stitch Markers: Remove a stitch marker and insert the hook into the marked stitch.
2. New Yarn: Pull through with new yarn and chain one, then single crochet.
3. Chain Four: Chain four in the next stitch and repeat for five chain spaces.
4. Join: Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch to complete the round.

Step 5: Creating Larger Petals

1. Chain Eight Single Crochets: In each chain space, work eight single crochets.
2. Join: Complete the last stitch and join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet.

Step 6: Adding Chains for Final Petal Design

1. Formation: Slip stitch in the next stitch to begin another chain space pattern.
2. Chain Work: Chain one, single crochet, then chain four, skip four stitches and repeat.
3. Chain Spaces: Continue around to create seven chain spaces, and for the last chain space, chain one and join with a double crochet.

Step 7: Creating Small Circles

1. Chain One, Single Crochet: Work a single crochet, then chain five.
2. Repeat: Move to the next chain space, work one single crochet, and then chain five.
3. Complete Chains: Continue around and for the last chain space, chain two and join with a double crochet.

Step 8: Final Row of Chains and Stitches

1. Building Double Crochets: Chain three (counts as a double crochet) and add one extra chain to create a double crochet space.
2. Pattern: In each small circle, work three double crochets, chain three, then three double crochets with one chain.
3. Complete: For the last chain space, only add two more double crochets and slip stitch to the third chain.

Step 9: Single Crochet Rounds

1. Two Rounds of Single Crochets: Simply work single crochets in each stitch.
2. Corners: In the second stitch of each corner, work three single crochets.

Step 10: Finishing Touches (Adding Petals)

1. Back to Round Three: Create a slip knot and make two slip stitches around the chain three.
2. Half Double Crochets: In the third chain, work one half double crochet.
3. Double Crochets and Trebles: Work two half double crochets and two double crochets, followed by two treble crochets in the next stitch.
4. Pico: Chain two, make a pico by inserting the hook into two strands, then yarn over and pull through.
5. Completing the Flower: Continue the previous steps, completing each petal in a similar manner.
