Lacy Daisy Granny Square

The daisy granny squares pictured on this page were made in an 8ply yarn which, is a light worsted yarn or #3 light yarn. Read more about different types of yarn.

I used a slightly larger hook than recommended on the yarn label to give it a softer feel. 

They worked up quickly and measure about 5 x 5 inches (13 x 13 cm) on the diagonal. 

This design also looks great when worked in a thicker yarn as I did for this crochet daisy blanket.

• dc3 cluster - double crochet three cluster (see special stitches below)

Special Stitches

Double crochet 3 cluster (dc3 cluster)

A double crochet 3 cluster is made by working three double crochets in the same space and completed as one stitch. This means that it does not change the stitch count.

1. Yarn over hook (YO), insert hook into a stitch, yarn over the hook (YO), and pull the yarn through the stitch. You should have three loops on your hook.
2. Yarn over the hook (YO) and pull the yarn through the first two loops on the hook. You should now have two loops on the hook.
3. Yarn over the hook (YO), insert hook into the same stitch, then yarn over the hook (YO), and pull the yarn through the stitch. You should now have four loops on the hook.
4. Yarn over the hook (YO) and pull the yarn through the first two loops on the hook. You should have three loops on the hook.
5. Yarn over the hook (YO), insert the hook into the same stitch, yarn over the hook, and pull the yarn through the stitch. You should now have five loops on the hook.
6. Yarn over the hook (YO) and pull the yarn through the first two loops on the hook. You should now have four loops on the hook.
7. Yarn over the hook (YO) and pull the yarn through all four loops remaining on your hook. 
8. Chain 1 to secure the stitch. 
9. This completes a dc3 cluster.

Abbreviated Version

Finishing

Once you have completed the granny square, cut the yarn from the ball leaving a 6-inch (15 cm), and pull it through the last stitch. Use a darning needle to weave in the loose ends.

Variations

Multi-Colored Daisy Granny Square - For a unique look, use different colors for each round of the daisy granny square. As you go, work in the ends to make working the rounds easier.

When starting rounds 4 and 5, instead of slip stitching to the chain spaces of the previous round, attach the new color yarn into the chain space with a slip stitch.

One-Color Granny Square - This daisy granny square is just as stunning in a single color. 

However, after completing round 2, you'll need to cut and fasten off the yarn before following the pattern as instructed in round 3.
