Flower Crochet Granny Square
A floral crochet blanket square
Mum crochet blanket square is the first square of the Fall Feels CAL! This flower crochet granny square starts with a lace center that looks like a chrysanthemum, a flower that blooms in the fall and is often used for fall decor. Around the flower center there is solid stitching to change the circular shape into a square.

Fall Feels Throw and CAL
The Fall Feels CAL is over now, but it began on October 4th with this pretty, floral crochet square being the first section of the pattern. In the crochet along we made a fall throw blanket and chatted about our progress and all things fall in my Facebook group.
The patterns for the squares, joining, and edging are free here on my website, though there is an option to purchase a PDF of the pattern if you prefer an ad-free PDF that is easy to download and print.
If you decide to use the free version, please bookmark this page and come back to it when you work on your project rather than trying to print or screenshot the page. Your time on this page helps me get paid for my work, so thank you!

What yarn will I need for this granny square?
I used Cascade Yarns Pacific for my Mum Crochet Blanket Square and for the Fall Feels Throw. This is a worsted weight blend of acrylic and merino wool that is soft and easy to care for. Each 100 g skeins contains about 213 yds of yarn. Your local yarn shop is the best place to purchase this yarn. If they don’t have it in stock, they can probably order it for you.
To make eight of the Mum Crochet Blanket Square for the Fall Feels Throw you will need 2 skeins of Cascade Yarns Pacific #113 Bordeaux.
If you choose to use a different yarn, you will get the best results with a yarn that is the same weight and fiber content.
What else will I need for this flower crochet square?
You will need a size J (6 mm) crochet hook and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
Is there a video tutorial for this crochet granny square?
Yes, there is! This square begins with a magic ring. This is my favorite way to begin granny squares. You will use double crochet, single crochet, and chains in this square. If you need help with any of that, I’ve made a full video tutorial for this square, and you can watch that on YouTube by clicking the thumbnail image below.
