Never Ending Wildflower 12″ Granny Square

Welcome, Moogly Afghan CAL visitors!

If you’ve spent much time around my blog (and welcome, to those of you who haven’t), you know that I like to create modern, clean-looking patterns.  I like simple color schemes, clean lines, and contemporary styles!

That’s why I decided to use my Never Ending Wildflower to create this square. The interest of this pattern doesn’t come from the square itself, but from the beauty of its focal centerpiece, the large, multi-petal wildflower. Of course, you can incorporate as many different colors into this pattern as you want; for me, I prefer just using two, and I love how the contrast makes the flower leap right off the square.

If you’d like to see the original pattern for the Never Ending Wildflower, and learn how to make it even bigger for different uses, you can view that pattern here.

And for our Dutch friends joining in on the Moogly CAL:
Dit patroon is (door HET HAAKBEEST) in het Nederlands vertaald. Je vindt een versie met foto’s voor rechtshandigen, eentje met foto’s speciaal voor linkshandigen, en een printerversie zonder foto’s.

 

THE NEVER ENDING WILDFLOWER 12″ GRANNY SQUARE

Hook: I (5.50mm)
Yarn: Vanna’s Choice, or your favorite worsted weight yarn. I used less than 100 yards (each) of Vanna’s Choice in White and Dusty Blue for my sample.
Difficulty: Easy
Gauge: Circle after Round 3 should measure 3.75” in diameter.
Final Size: 12″x12″

Notes:


  • This pattern is written in American Standard Terms. The flower portion is taken from my original pattern, The Never Ending Wildflower.
  • The flower, including its petals, are worked as a part of the granny square as a whole. Rounds will alternate between increase rounds and petals. Increase rounds will be called “round 1, 2, 3” etc, and petal rounds will be referred to as “1st round of petals, 2nd round of petals,” etc. Because each petal round shares its space with the increase round below it, they are not counted as part of the pattern’s total rounds.
  • CH1 on the increase rounds does not count as a stitch.
  • Be mindful that the pattern alternates in calling for FLO (Front Loops Only) and BLO (Back Loops Only).
  • Each round of petals has 12 total petals. The first round of petals will cover 1 ST (of the previous round) per petal. The 2nd round of petals will cover 2 STS per petal, the 3rd round 3 STS, and so on.

 

PART 1: THE FLOWER

Begin with a Magic Circle; CH1.

Round 1: 12 DC in MC. Join with a SL ST to first DC. (12)

    This pattern is so versatile to make. You can make many squares and make a afghan or make it with a larger hook and make a pillow front. And personalize with colors to match your decor.

    I love the tailored granny square with the softness of the never ending wildflower. A perfect combination of hard and soft. I look forward to making an afghan using this granny square. Thank you for a beautiful pattern.

    Good afternoon, my name is Patty, I am new at crochet and fell in love with your never-ending flower. Immediately went to Etsy and purchase made. My problem is that I’m not sure if a beginner can easily do this, or if I should keep doing granny squares with no
    embellishments. This is a gorgeous pattern, thank you so much for sharing with us.

      Hi Patty! It really depends on the beginner. I wouldn’t suggest it for a first project, but yes, an adventurous beginner could do it. You’ll never know unless you try! 🙂

    This is stunning! I have never been good at following front post and back post patterns. Is there any way you could make a video so maybe I won’t get quite as lost? Can’t wait to give this a try 🙂

      I’m sorry, I don’t have a video at this time. However, the pattern calls for front LOOP and back LOOP only (not post). If that makes any difference. 🙂

    Can’t wait to work on this, but do you finish off each round of part one?

    • Rebecca says: July 24, 2015 at 9:46 pm

      No, the flower is worked in one piece.

    I love you. Your instructions are so clear and concise. I did the gorgeous Neverending flower in one go. No messing. (It will be used in many, many projects, it’s that versatile). Am on the granny bit. So, so, so simple but so effective. I love the 3d effect !!! I love you.

    Thank you so much for this beautiful square. Your directions were easy to follow and I really loved the look. I can’t wait to have some time and make a blanket of just this square.

    Thanks for sharing! (I love Vanna’s Choice, too). The pattern was clear and easy to follow. Working the project made for an enjoyable afternoon. I just have to ‘block’ it now so that the flower lays better. I’ve thought of so many ways to use your design. Keep up the *great* work.

    the pattern is so easy to follow I’m a little dyslexic and Lt. handed so most instructions are difficult for me. BUT yours is great clear and concise . And even easy for me to modify for my afghan. thanks again.
