How To Crochet Daisy Square

Crochet hook: 2.50 mm recommended. If you crochet tightly, you can use a 3 mm hook.
Additional tools: Scissors, a needle for weaving in ends.

Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern

Part 1: The Daisy Center

Create a Magic Ring:
- Wrap the yarn into a ring and hold the point where the yarn overlaps.
- Insert the crochet hook into the ring and pull up a loop, then make a chain stitch to secure the ring.
Begin Crocheting into the Magic Ring:
- Work 12 double crochets directly into the ring. To do this:
  - Yarn over, insert your hook into the ring, pull up a loop, yarn over again, pull through the first two loops, and then yarn over again to complete the double crochet.
- After every few stitches, pull the magic ring tighter to form a smooth circle.
Close the Round:
- Slip stitch into the top of the first double crochet to close the circle.
- Cut the yarn, pull it tight, and weave in the end of the magic ring to secure it.

Part 2: The Petals

Attach the Yarn:
- Using a new color yarn (e.g., orange), tie a knot and attach it to the top of any double crochet from the previous round.
Create Petals:
- Wrap the yarn over your hook, insert your hook into the top of the double crochet, and pull up a loop.
- Work a cluster of double crochets for each petal:
  - Yarn over, insert into the same stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through the first two loops, and finally yarn over to pull through all remaining loops on the hook.
  - Repeat for a total of 12 petals around the circle.
- Between each petal, chain 2 or 3 (depending on your tension) before moving to the next stitch.
Close and Finish:
- Slip stitch into the top of the first petal to close the round, then cut the yarn and pull it tight.

Part 3: The Green Leafy Corners

Attach the Yarn:
- Using green yarn, tie a knot and attach it to the top of any petal.
Begin the Corner Pattern:
- Work 3 double crochets into a gap between petals, followed by 2 chain stitches (this forms the first corner).
- In the same gap, work another 3 double crochets.
Work Edges:
- After the corner, skip one petal and work 1 single crochet into the top of the next petal.
- Chain 2 and repeat the corner pattern (3 double crochets, 2 chains, 3 double crochets) at the next gap.
Repeat Around the Circle:
- Continue this pattern around the motif to create 4 corners, spacing them evenly.
- Slip stitch into the first double crochet to close the round, then cut the yarn.

Part 4: Bordering the Square

Attach Cream Yarn:
- Using cream-colored yarn, tie a knot and attach it to any corner.
Work Single Crochets:
- Start from the corner and work single crochets into the tops of the stitches across each edge.
- At every corner, work 1 single crochet, 2 chains, and another single crochet into the corner gap.
Finish the Border:
- Continue working single crochets evenly across all the edges to round off the motif neatly.
- Slip stitch into the first single crochet to finish. Cut the yarn and weave in ends.

Part 5: Final Row and Finishing Touch

Optional Last Row:
- If desired, add another row of single crochets evenly across the edges to make the motif tidier.
- Remember to maintain the corner stitches with 1 single crochet, 2 chains, and 1 more single crochet.
Steam and Block:
- Steam the motif lightly from the backside and press with your hand to smooth it. You can use an iron gently for blocking.
- Make sure the motif holds its shape before assembling into larger projects.
