Creating a crochet African Violet square<\/strong> typically involves combining flower and granny square techniques. This beautiful motif features a layered flower (resembling an African Violet) at the center of a classic square base. Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide for a basic version of this pattern:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udd39 Step-by-Step Pattern<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Flower Center<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      With yellow yarn<\/strong> (or desired flower center color):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Rnd 1:<\/strong> Make a magic ring, ch 1, work 6 sc into the ring. Join with sl st to the first sc. (6 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Fasten off and change to purple<\/strong> or petal color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"High<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Petals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Rnd 2:<\/strong> Ch 2, dc, tr, dc, ch 2, sl st into next st<\/em> \u2014 repeat in each stitch (6 petals total).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • You’ll now have 6 small petals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          (Optional: For a fuller flower, work a second layer of petals in back loops only from the previous round.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 3: Leaves (Back Layer)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Switch to green yarn<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Working behind the flower petals, sl st into the base behind a petal, ch 3, dc, ch 3, sl st<\/em> into next space behind a petal \u2014 repeat around to create 6 small leaves in the back layer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \"High<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Step 4: Squaring the Circle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Switch to white or background color<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Attach yarn in any stitch or space between leaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Rnd 4:<\/strong> Start squaring: [3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc] in corner, 3 dc in next 3 spaces<\/em> \u2014 adjust based on petal\/leaves placement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • You may need to fudge some stitches to turn the round motif into a square (typically involves increases in 4 corners and even sides).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Use granny square logic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Corners<\/strong>: [3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Sides<\/strong>: groups of 3 dc with ch 1 between if needed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Step 5: Finish<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Fasten off, weave in ends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Block the square for even edges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  \u2705 Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • You can add rounds to the square for desired size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Use a smaller hook for tighter petals and leaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • African Violet squares are great for joining into afghans or pillows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
