This is a perfect crochet project for beginners to practice different types of stitches while creating a beautiful flower motif.
And when you make enough of the squares it will be easy to connect them with slip stitches to make a table runner, bedspread or how about a pretty lacy summer shawl.
It’s so much fun to experiment with all the possible color combinations because with each new mix of colors it’s going to look a little different and unique.

WRITTEN PATTERN OF FLOWER SQUARE
The bigger square measures 4 inches on each side, I use crochet thread size 3 and crochet hook 2.25 mm.
The smaller square measure 3 inches on each side, I use crochet thread size 10 and crochet hook 2 mm.
Abbreviations:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single stitch
dc = double crochet
dc2tog = double crochet 2 together
dc3tog = double crochet 3 together

- with color A chain 8, slip st in first ch to form a ring
- ch 1 and sc 11 into the ring, sl st in first sc, fasten off
