A lot of my friends and family ask me if I stop crocheting when the weather gets warmer. The answer is “Of course not!” The art of crochet is becoming so innovative and crocheters are becoming so much more creative with their fiber. We’re not making just hats, scarves and blankets anymore. Nowadays, you can just about crochet anything that you put your mind to. So, when the weather gets warmer, I like to use my yarn for making things around the house like these Daisy Granny Square Coasters. Not only are they cute and perfect for spring, but they are also easily washable which I love. I can be a little crazy when it comes to putting a cup on my table with nothing underneath. My kitchen table is so hard to clean so I always use a coaster. If you’re anything like me, then this is the pattern for you! Keep in mind that if you don’t care for coasters, these Daisy Granny Squares would make an adorable blanket.

Crochet Daisy Granny Squares
Skill Level:
Easy
Materials:
• Size H Crochet Hook
• Worsted weight yarn in three colors for flower center, flower petals and granny square. I used Lily Sugar n’ Cream(Affiliate Link) cotton yarn
• Tapestry needle for weaving ends
Abbreviations:
dc – double crochet
tc – treble crochet
sl st – slip stitch
ch – chain
mc – magic circle
Instructions:
MC, ch 2
Round 1: With yellow yarn, 8 dc into circle. Join. (8)
Round 2: Change to yarn for flower petal. *Ch 3, dc, tc, dc, ch 3* all in the same stitch. Sl st into next st. Repeat * for the 7 remaining petals. Fasten off.
Round 3: Join your granny square color into the top of any tc with a sl st. Ch 3. 2 dc into same st. Ch 1. 3 dc into the top of the next tc from the previous round. Ch 1. *3 dc, ch 1, 3dc in the top of the next tc from previous round. Ch 1. 3 dc into next tc. Ch 1* Repeat * 2 more times. 3 dc into the beginning tc. Ch 1. Join into the top of the ch 3.
Round 4: Ch 3. 2 dc into same st. Ch 1. 3 dc into ch 1 space from the previous round, twice. Ch 1. *3 dc, ch 1, 3dc in ch 1 space from previous round (corner). Ch 1. 3 dc into ch 1 space, twice. Ch 1* Repeat * 2 more times. 3 dc into the beginning tc. Ch 1. Join into the top of the ch 3. Fasten off and weave all ends.
If you’re feeling creative, you can add a pretty edging or just an easy single crochet edging in another color. Like I said, I use these as coasters but you can easily make a bunch and turn them into an adorable daisy granny square blanket. The pattern is pretty straightforward and it’s quick to work up. It took me about 15 minutes to make. You may or may not have to block these squares for them to lie flat. I was too lazy to block mine so I just pressed them between a couple of heavy books to get them flat. I hope you enjoy the pattern! Happy crocheting!

HI,
I am wondering if you can tell me how to make the mc using just a chain….I am horrible at making a magic circle and I have a friend who really wants this afghan made for her. I have tried numerous times and I can’t get the magic circle in my head. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!! I have been trying for over 2 years now to make this and I get frustrated and lose hope because my magic circle will not work. Thank you
Hi Julie! If the magic circle isn’t working for you, you can always chain 5, join in beginning ch with a sl st to form a circle and work your dc sts into the circle 🙂 I hope that helps!
I can’t tell you thank you enough. I’ve been looking for something exactly like this and all of a sudden,POOF, it’s in my inbox. I can’t wait to add these to the Afghan I’m already making with different kinds of flowers. It’s going to be the perfect addition. I think you’ll like the colors, I’ll send you a photo when it’s done.
That’s so great to hear Linda! I can’t wait to see it! 🙂
These squares are cute and is a great addition to a project.
Thank you Mistie 🙂
I love this square! I used it as a pocket on a dress I made for my granddaughter!
Thank you Tawni! That’s a really cute idea 🙂
Hi! I love this pattern but am having trouble with creating the petals on the double crochets. When I do the 3 ch, dc, tc, dc, 3 ch, sl st, it gets very bunchy and doesn’t lay flat. Am I doing something incorrectly? I know it’s vague, but maybe there’s an alternative or something? I love this pattern too much to pass it up!
Thank you!
You can try going down a hook size for the petals. Mine are a little bit bunchy but they flatten out when I block them
How do I make a magic circle? I just started crocheting before Christmas after many, many years of not doing ut, Made scarves and hats for all my great grandchildren, an afghan for one great granddaughter, an afghan for one grandson graduating in May. I’m about to start making afghans for the rest. This flower (daisy) one is great, but I’m lost before I begin w ith that magic circle. If you can help, I’d appreciate it. Thanks Amy. Judiy
Hi Judy! Here is a tutorial for the magic ring: http://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2014/11/how-to-make-a-magic-ring.html
If it’s something that is still difficult for you, you can always chain 4, slip stitch into a ring, and start your first round of double crochets in the ring. I hope that helps!
I am attempting to make these Daisy Granny squares. I made my magic circle, now the pattern says to change to yarn for flower petal. I don’t know what to go into to start with the Ch3 etc. I am at the point where I have just joined the magic circle. Would you be able to help?
Thank you,
Diane Park
Hi Diane, you would join the new color with a slip stitch into one of the 8 dc stitches that you just worked into the circle.
Thank you so much!
You’re welcome! 🙂
Would like to know what the size is. Am making a bunch of 6″ sq’s to make a surprise afghan for a friend.
This one looks great! Thanks for the pattern.
Hi Pat! These are actually 4″ squares but if you want to make it larger, you can just add an additional round of granny stitches.
Thanks, will do that!
I absolutely love this design. I can’t wait to make these.
Thank you! 🙂
I love how versatile this is – one could be a coaster, two or three strips could make a scarf, five or six strips could be a shawl, etc.
I do not see any statements about being able to sell completed item. As long as I give you credit for the pattern, are you okay with me selling a finished product?
Hi Chris. I do not have the statement on each one of my patterns but yes, you may sell finished items from my patterns. You can find more information in my Terms of Use.
This looks very pretty and will certainly start it very soon. I live in Jersey one of the Channel Islands, British Isles, so your pattern has travelled quite a way. Many thanks for sharing.
Thank you for stopping by Sylvia! Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Those are not only great as coasters, I use them also, but I agree, they would make a terrific afghan. I do a lot of charity crocheting and often use granny squares (and use the join as you go method since it is quicker to put together, at least for me), so these would be great for that. It would just kick it up a notch for something different and pretty. Or even a prayer shawl (do those too). Thank you so much for sharing your pattern.
And no matter how I try, I just can’t get the hang of the magic circle. Believe me, I’ve tried.
Roe
Thank you Roe! They are still one of my favorite patterns to this day 🙂 I hope that some day you can master that magic circle 😉
Such a cute pattern, I’m seeing a blanket with multicolored gerbera daisies in the future.
Gerber daisies are my favorite flower! I think this would turn out really cute 🙂
This is such a cute pattern! I’m planning on selling at a local (MN) craft fair in a couple of months — would it be OK with you if I make & sell this?
Sure go right ahead Ruth!
Thank you I want to try this. Its very cute and more appealing than the traditional granny square. More of a maiden square. Great work. Thank you!
Thank you Joanne! I hope you enjoy it!
I can’t wait to make these, they are adorable…
Thank you Jackie! 🙂
I’m hoping to give these a try soon. Making a granny square afghan for my daughter. I’ve got like 30 more squares to go…she just mentioned how cool it would be to have random daisies in it….so I’m in hopes I can pull this pattern off…kind of a novice….thanks for the inspiration!
I’m glad that my daisies inspired you! I hope your daughter loves it! Enjoy! 🙂
Ummmm….I was all set to start…..what is the magic circle….and how do I do it? I was all set to start your daisy granny square, but the magic circle threw me for a loop… thank you.
There are many tutorials on the web that show how to do a magic circle. It’s super easy and doesn’t leave a “hole” like a chain 2 might. Here’s a tutorial that I personally like but if you’re not comfortable with it, you can always ch 6, sl st into the beginning ch and then continue on with the dc’s. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the pretty Daisy Square pattern! These will be great make-ahead gifts to have on-hand for last minute and unexpected events. I have to make a set for myself first though!
Thanks Paula! Enjoy the pattern! 🙂
I love these!
Thanks! 🙂 Hope you give it a try!
I love these – the colors are so perfect for spring. Thanks so much for sharing this at the Friday Frenzy.
Thanks Danielle! I love them too 🙂
Love the colors and the pattern! Thanks Amy !
You’re welcome! Enjoy!! 🙂
These are so cute! I crochet and knit year round, too. I just switch to smaller projects and cotton yarn in the warmer months. Pinning these so I remember to make some – thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kimberlee! I also try to switch to smaller projects and items that are more relevant to the season 🙂 Enjoy the pattern!
These are darling. I learned same basic crochet as a girl (100 years ago) but never made a granny square. Yours is the pattern to try, love the flower in the center. Will dig out some colored yarn tonight. Happy stitching! In addition to my quilt blog I just started another blog knottedthreadsandyarn.blogspot. Love your blog and your Pinterest site.
Thanks Betty! I hope you enjoy the pattern and I will definitely make sure to stop by and check out your blogs.
Love.will give as gifts.. thanks
Wonderful! I hope that whoever you are gifting to will love them 🙂
I don’t know how to crochet, but these are so cute! Pinning! 🙂
