The Daisy Patch Granny Square is a pretty 12-inch crochet afghan square made from four little puff stitch flower motifs, joined together for a sweet patchwork effect. This easy daisy crochet square pattern looks lovely on its own, or you can make a whole pile of them for a cozy granny square blanket.
And because it measures 12 inches, it slots right into any sampler blanket that uses 12-inch squares! This one was fun to design, and I’m already planning a large blanket using my scrap yarn. You’ll find the free pattern below, with a photo tutorial.

Ways to Use Your 12 Inch Granny Squares
A 12 inch crochet granny afghan square is such a handy size. Twelve squares joined three by four make a lovely lap blanket, and you can keep adding squares for a bigger throw or bed cover. If you are working on a sampler blanket with 12 inch squares, the Daisy Patch granny would make a lovely contribution and adds a cheerful pop of flowers among the other textures.

My Daisy Patch Granny Square is the 6th square in the CAL.

Yarn Suggestions for the Daisy Patch Granny Square
I used the following amount of yarn and hooks for my square:
- Small amounts of worsted weight yarn in five different colors
- 5 mm hook
I used Lion Brand Color Theory for my square. This was my first time using this yarn and I was so impressed. It was beautiful and soft to crochet with and has great stitch definition, so the puff stitches and petals really stand out. It is a medium (#4) weight acrylic yarn that is easy to care for and comes in a lovely range of colors.
You only need small amounts of each color, so this is a great pattern for using up leftover yarn from your stash. Any medium weight yarn will work, just keep your yarn weight and hook size the same for every square so they all come out at 12 inches.
