Wrap Flower 6" Square Free Crochet Pattern

When I received a custom order for a complete baby set for a girl I was excited. I love designing a cute square and making an entire set come together. I knew I wanted to do a flower square, but it had to be flat so that it laid well but it had to have some texture. My All In One Wrap Flower came to mind immediately.

For the baby set I found some cute free patterns on ravelry. The diaper cover I made using a 0-3 month pattern. I made the booties using the baby booties with ankle strap pattern by Tina Rodriguez. The headband is just an extra wrap flower glued to a headband.

The square works up to be 6 inches, which means they work up fast. I made 10 flower squares and 10 complimentary squares with a striped pattern to create a baby blanket that measures roughly 2 feet by 2.5 feet (4x5 squares). At the end of this pattern are instructions for the striped square. :)

Materials Needed

• worsted weight yarn in your choice of two or more colors
• H crochet hook

Let's get started!


Tip: You'll be working the flower in the round, make sure you mark the beginning of the round with a stitch marker.

Flower

With your flower color, make a magic loop/magic ring and pull up a loop.

Rnd 1: ch 2, work 12 dc in loop, pull loop closed, do not join (12 sts)

Rnd 2: working in the back and third loops (see picture), 2 dc in each st around (24 sts)

Rnd 3: working in back and third loops again, (dc in next st, 2 dc in next st) around (36 sts)

Work a hdc and sc in next two sts of the next round to create a nice circle.

Turn your work so you’re looking at the back of the circle.

Rnd 4: (ch3, skip 2 sts, slst into the next st’s back and third loops) 17 times, (ch2, skip 1 st, slst in the next st’s back and third loops) 11 times, ch 2, sk 1 and slst around the next post  (total 29 loops)

Rnd 5: Turn your work so you’re now looking back at the front of the circle, (slst in loop, ch1, 2dc in loop, ch1, slst in loop) into the 12 small loops, (slst in the next loop, ch1, 3dc in loop, ch1, slst in loop) into the next 16 large loops, (slst in next loop, ch1, 2dc in loop, ch1, slst in loop) into the last loop, slst to the st next to the last petal (total 29 petals, 13 small and 17 large)

Fasten off. Join square background color in the back loop of the stitch where you just slip stitched.

Square

Work in the back loops (and the third loop) left behind from the petals around the flower.  The beginning chains DO NOT count as stitches.

Rnd 1: ch1, hdc in same st, hdc in next, dc in next 2 sts, *(dc, trc, ch2, trc, dc) in next st, dc in next 2 sts, hdc in next 4 sts, dc in next 2 sts, repeat from * 2 more times, (dc, trc, ch2, trc, dc) in next st, dc in next 2 sts, hdc in next 2 sts, slst to the first hdc (48 sts)

Rnd 2: ch2, dc in next 6 sts, *(2dc, ch3, 2dc) in loop, dc in next 12 sts, repeat from * 2 more times, (2dc, ch3, 2dc) in loop, dc in 6 sts, slst to the beginning (64 sts)

Rnd 3: ch2, dc in next 8 sts, *(2dc, ch3, 2dc) in loop, dc in next 16 sts, repeat from * 2 more times, (2dc, ch3, 2dc) in loop, dc in 8 sts, slst to the beginning (80 sts)

Rnd 4: ch1, sc in each dc and 5 sc in each ch sp, slst to the beginning (100 sc)

Fasten off and weave in end.

All done! Hope you like it!

Here is the quick rundown for the complimentary square. 

With color A (flower color), chain 6 and slip stitch to the beginning chain to form a loop. Chain 3 (only these chains count as a stitch) and in the loop (dc3, ch3, dc4, ch3, dc4, ch3, dc4, ch3) and slip stitch to the beginning chain so you have four sides and four corners. It's best to fasten off here and join new color B into the first stitch.

Chain 2 (does not count as a stitch), dc in same stitch as joining and each double crochet, and work (2dc, ch3, 2dc) in each corner. Slip stitch to the beginning dc.

Work the next round the same way with color B. Then switch to color A and work another round the same way. Work the last round with color B and then work a round of single crochets in each double crochet and 5 single crochets in each corner.

I hope that made sense. :)
