Frequently asked questions
How does this square get its four corners?
Round 5 works the corner groups as 3 tr, ch 5, 3 tr separated by ch 6 corner chains, repeated four times, which shapes the round flower center into a square motif.
Can I join several of these into a blanket?
Yes. It's a square motif, so multiple units can be made and joined side by side, just like traditional granny squares, to build larger pieces.
What does the center look like?
Round 1 starts with 24 dc in a ring, and the following rounds add chain loops and clustered tr stitches that radiate out to form a flower at the heart of the square.
