FLOWER GRANNY SQUARE | Free Crochet Pattern

Hi! So I guess nobody missed that we celebrated Granny Square Day a couple of days ago. My Instagram feed was overflowing with beautiful granny squares, both traditional ones and more modern ones. Which one do you prefer? Traditional? Or modern crazy? In this blog post you'll find a free crochet pattern for this traditional granny square with a cute flower detail.

I'm more of the traditional kind of gal but recently I've found myself admiring these modern ones with something in the middle. My plan for Granny Square day was to find a pattern for a simple flower square with a retro feel to it, but I couldn't find what I was looking for so therefore I decided to design my own square. I've never designed a granny square before so this was a real challenge for me but I'm so happy for how the flower square turned out! It's even prettier than I could imagine!
