floral square crochet
Pattern:
Round 1: Begin by crocheting 6 single crochet (sc) stitches in a circle, then close the round with a slip stitch (slst). (6)
Round 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first half-double crochet or hdc), then work another hdc into the same stitch. Chain 1, and in each stitch around, work (2 hdc + ch 1). Finally, slip stitch into the second chain of your initial chain-2 to close the round. You’ll have a total of 12 hdc stitches and 6 chain spaces. (12 hdc, 6 ch)
Round 3: Slip stitch into the next chain-1 space, then chain 3 (which counts as your first double crochet or dc of a 5-dc popcorn stitch). Create a popcorn stitch in the chain-1 space, chain 1, skip 1 stitch, then work 2 dc into the next hdc. Continue repeating this pattern around. To close the round, slip stitch into the back of the first popcorn stitch. You’ll have 6 popcorn stitches, 6 chain spaces, and 12 dc stitches. (6 popcorns, 6 ch, 12 dc)
Round 4: Chain 5, then slip stitch between the next 2 dc stitches. Chain 5 again, and slip stitch into the back of the next popcorn stitch. Repeat this pattern around, then slip stitch into the base of the first chain-5 space to close the round. You’ll have 12 chain-5 spaces. (12 ch-5-sp)
Round 5: Slip stitch into the next chain-5 space. Work (6 sc, slst) into each chain-5 space around. Finally, slip stitch into the next sc stitch to close the round. You’ll have a total of 72 sc stitches, 14 slip stitches, and 12 petal shapes. (72 sc, 14 slst, 12 petals)
Round 6: Slip stitch into the next sc stitch, then chain 3 (which counts as a hdc + ch 1). Skip 1 stitch, work hdc, chain 1, skip 1 stitch, and work hdc into the second sc of the next petal. Continue this pattern around, then slip stitch into the second chain of your initial chain-3 to close the round. You’ll have 72 hdc stitches and 36 chain spaces. (72 hdc, 36 ch)
Round 7: Slip stitch into the next chain space. Create a popcorn stitch in each chain space, then chain 1. Repeat this pattern around, working into each chain space. You’ll have 36 popcorn stitches and 36 chain spaces. (36 popcorns, 36 ch)
Round 8: Chain 3 (this counts as a double crochet or dc), then work 1 dc into each popcorn stitch and each chain stitch around. Finally, slip stitch into the third chain of your initial chain-3 to close the round. You’ll have a total of 72 dc stitches. (72 dc)
Round 9: Chain 8, skip 2 stitches, work 1 sc in the next stitch, and then work 14 back loop only half-double crochets (blo-hdc). Finally, slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern three more times. To close the round, slip stitch into the base of the initial chain-8. You’ll have 4 chain-8 spaces, 4 sc stitches, and 56 blo-hdc stitches. (4 ch 8, 4 sc, 56 blo-hdc)
Round 10: Slip stitch into a chain-8 space. Work the following sequence into each chain-8 space: [Chain 3 (counts as a dc), 5 dc, chain 4, 6 dc]. Then, work 1 hdc into the next stitch and 1 sc in the third loop of the next 14 stitches. Repeat this pattern around, then slip stitch into the third chain of your initial chain-3 to close the round. You’ll have 48 dc stitches, 4 chain-4 spaces, 4 hdc stitches, and 56 sc stitches. (48 dc, 4 ch-4-sp, 4 hdc, 56 sc)
Round 11: Chain 3 (counts as the first back post double crochet or bpdc), work 5 bpdc stitches in the next stitches, and then work the corner into the chain-4 space as follows [2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc]. Afterward, work 6 bpdc stitches, skip 1 stitch, and work 2 dc in the next 2 stitches. Work a popcorn stitch, chain 1, work 3 dc in the next 3 stitches, then work a 3-dc popcorn stitch, chain 1, work another 3-dc popcorn stitch, chain 1, work 3 dc in the next 3 stitches, a popcorn stitch, chain 1, 2 dc in the next 2 stitches, skip 1 stitch. Continue repeating this pattern around, then use an invisible join to close the round. You’ll have 48 bpdc stitches, 8 chains, 8 popcorn stitches, 8 3-dc popcorn stitches, and 56 dc stitches. (48 bpdc, 8 ch, 8 popcorns, 8 3-dc-popcorn, 56 dc)
