To dress up this flower crochet pattern, use two colors. One color for the flower in the center and a second color for the granny square portion. It will really make the flower stand out. Our sample was stitched using sport weight yarn and a size G (American) crochet hook. Each finished square measures 4-3/4". If you choose a different size crochet hook and/or a different weight of yarn, you will get a square of a different size.

Any weight yarn with the appropriate size crochet hook. Our sample was made using sport weight yarn and a size G (4.25 mm) crochet hook.
