  Step 1

  FIRSTLY YOU NEED TO FIND THE SPACE BETWEEN YOUR FIRST AND LAST PETALS ON YOUR FLOWER. WHERE YOU TIED OFF YOUR YARN

• 

  Step 2

  YOU THEN NEED TO FIND THE 3 CHAIN YOU STARTED YOUR FLOWER WITH, IT SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY LOOSER THAN THE TRIPPLE CROCHET

  THIS IS WHERE YOU WILL START THE GRANNY SQUARE BY ATTATCHING YOUR CONTRASTING YARN

• 

  Step 3

  ATTATCH CONTRAST COLOUR WITH A SLIP STITCH, USING A 2.50MM CROCHET HOOK

  I CHOSE WHITE FOR CONTRAST. TO GET THE BEST EFFECT CHOOSE A COLOUR THAT WILL MAKE YOUR FLOWER STAND OUT

  EG. WHITE FLOWER, PURPLE CONTRAST
  BLACK AND ORANGE
  CRIMSON AND NAVY
  GREEN AND YELLOW

  CHOOSE ANY COLORS YOU FANCY

• 

  Step 4

  TIE THE YARN OFF LOOSLY

  I AM USING A SMALLER HOOK FOR THE GRANNY SQUARE AS IT MAKES THE HOLES BETWEEN THE STICHES SMALLER AND THE GRANNY SQUARE FIRMER.

  USE A SLIGHTLY LARGER HOOK IF YOU WANT A LOOSER TENSION JUST NOTE YOUR SQUARE WILL TURN OUT SLIGHTLY LARGER.

• 

  Step 5

  CHAIN 3 THIS WILL BE CLASSED AS YOUR FIRST DOUBLE CROCHET

• 

  Step 6

  DOUBLE CROCHET INTO THE SPACE MADE BETWWEN THE FIRST 4 CHAIN AND TREBBLE CROCHET ON YOUR PETAL

  TO DO THIS WIND YARN OVER HOOK ONCE

• 

  Step 7

  PLACE HOOK IN SPACE AND DRAW YARN THROUGH MAKING THREE LOOPS ON HOOK

• 

  Step 8

  THE 3 LOOPS

• 

  Step 9

  WIND YARN OVER HOOK ONCE MORE FORMING 4 LOOPS

  THEN DRAW THE YARN THROUGH THE FIRST TWO LOOPS

• 

  Step 10

  LEAVING TWO LOOPS

• 

  Step 11

  WIND YARN OVER HOOK AND PULL THROUGH REMAINING TWO LOOPS

• 

  Step 12

  THIS COMPLETES YOUR DOUBLE CROCHET

• 

  Step 13

  REPEAT DOUBLE CROCHET ONE MORE TIME THIS GIVES YOU THREE INCLUDING THE 3 CHAIN YOU STARTED WITH

  CHAIN ONE

• 

  Step 14

  REPEAT STEPS FOR DOUBLE CROCHET 3 MORE TIMES IN THE SAME SPACE

  THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU SIX INCLUDING THE BEGINNING 3 CHAIN AS ONE

  THIS WILL BE YOUR FIRST CORNER

• 

  Step 15

  HOLDING THE PETAL YOU JUST WORKED IN FORWARD FIND YOUR NEXT PETAL AND ITS BEGINNING CHAIN 4 JUST AS YOU JUST DID IN THE LAST PETAL

• 

  Step 16

  WORK 3 DOUBLE CROCHET IN THIS SPACE THEN MOVE ONTO THE NEXT PETAL

  THIS WILL CREATE YOUR SIDE

  NEXT PETAL TWO LOTS OF 3 DOUBLE CROCHET WITH 1 CHAIN BETWEEN THIS IS YOUR NEXT CORNER

  NEXT 1 LOT OF 3 DOUBLE CROCHET AND SO ON UNTILL YOUR WORK FORMS A SQUARE WITH 4 CORNERS AND 4 SIDES

• 

  Step 17

  SHOULD RESEMBLE THIS

• 

  Step 18

  TO CLOSE THE SQUARE SLIP STITCH INTO THE 3RD CHAIN OF THE FIRST 3 CHAIN OF THE FIRST ROW

• 

  Step 19

  SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS

• 

  Step 20

  NOW BECAUSE WE NEED TO GET TO THE NEXT HOLE TO CROCHET INTO YOU NEED TO SLIP STICH INTO THE TOP OF THE NEXT 3 STITCHES BRINGING YOU TO THE CORNER HOLE

• 

  Step 21

  CHAIN 3

• 

  Step 22

  THEN JUST AS IN THE 1ST ROUND DO TWO LOTS OF 3 DOUBLE CROCHET WITH A CHAIN BETWEEN THE FIRST 3 AND THE SECOND 3 TO FORM YOUR CORNER

• 

  Step 23

  1ST CORNER ON 2ND ROUND

• 

  Step 24

  THERE WILL NOW BE TWO SIDE HOLES THAT YOU WILL ONLY DO 1 LOT OF 3 DOUBLE CROCHET IN THEN YOU WILL DO THE NEXT CORNER AND SO ON

• 

  Step 25

  SECOND ROUND FINISHED

  SOME PEOPLE LIKE THIS SIZE GRANNY SQUARE AND TIE OFF HERE YOU CAN IF YOU WISH TO

  I WILL CONTINUE WITH A 3RD ROUND THOUGH

  ATTACH END OF ROUND WITH A SLIP STITCH AS BEFORE AND SLIP STITCH 3 TO THE CORNER HOLE

• 

  Step 26

  SLIP STITCH TO CORNER HOLE

• 

  Step 27

  CHAIN 3 AND CONTINUE ON AS IN LAST 2 ROUNDS ONLY THERE ARE NOW 3 HOLES TO DO 1 SET OF 3 DOUBLE CROCHET IN ON THE SIDES

• 

  Step 28

  WHAT IT SHOULD RESEMBLE
