Pattern Details

The finished Protea Large Granny Flower Square measures approximately 30 × 30 cm (11 × 11 inches) when made with DK or Light Worsted weight yarn and a 3.5 mm (US E-4) crochet hook.

The example square was created using 100% cotton DK or Light Worsted yarn, with around 119 m (130 yards) per 50 g skein.

A 3.5 mm (US E-4) hook is recommended. Using lighter yarn with a smaller hook will create a smaller square, while heavier yarn and a larger hook will make a bigger square.

The pattern is rated intermediate in difficulty but is beginner-friendly for anyone comfortable with basic stitches and working in the round.

Techniques You’ll Use

• Working in the round
• Front post stitches to build petal‐like textures
• Colour changes & joining new yarn colours
• Counting stitches per side correctly (for neat joining later)

Ideal Projects

• Afghans & throws
• Decorative pillows and cushions
• Tote bags & purses
• Wall hangings or table toppers
• Colour-block or patchwork blankets

Yarn Suggestions & Tips

• Best results for stitch definition with cotton or cotton blends, but acrylic works too
• Keep the same yarn & hook across all squares to ensure uniform size when joining
• Mix and match colour palettes for bold contrast or tonal harmony
