African Floral Granny Square
Of course, African flower crochet is also another beautiful addition. Therefore, let's enrich our collection of 3 square ideas with this timeless, yet au currant design.
African Flower
To begin with, as the name says on the box, this 8-petalled beauty is a classic of the kind. In particular, I like the border around the flower tat really delineates it.
Dahlia 12" Afghan Square
The inspiration for this square was the beautiful repeating petals of the Dahlia flower. This square may be used by itself or in conjunction with other squares or stitches to make throws, bags, table runners, pillows and more. It is worked in worsted weight yarn and is a generous 12" so that projects work up quickly. The center and flower portion are based on the popular African flower look and then it is surrounded with lacy stitching for interest!
Wind Flower Hexagon
Lastly, this summer flower hexagon blanket sports stunning raised flower appliques on a traditional hex. Thus this is actually a bit of a conceptual hybrid between the previous two patterns.
