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!

Pretty Posies Square
"The Pretty Posies Afghan Square was designed to work well with my Sweet and Simple Afghan Square Pattern. Both patterns are crocheted with Scheepjes Stone Washed Yarn from the mini skein Colour Pack. When you make these with the Sport Weight Yarn 2 and a 4 mm (G) hook they measure approximately 4 inches square. When you use Medium Weight Yarn and the hook indicated on the yarn label, you can expect a square approximately 6 inches X 6 inches in size. This design begins with the leaves and the flower portion of the project. You can stop after the flower section and you will have a pretty flower embellishment you can use on other projects. I have included step-by-step photo tutorials for all parts of this square. They are available in my blog post with the free copy of the pattern."
