Where can I get the pattern for the floral granny square.

I am unable to print the 15 photos depicting the Rnd 1 thru Rnd 5. It would be most helpful if this is possible. Please advise. Thank you.

We are working on providing printable PDF versions of the tutorials. Looks for that option in the coming weeks!

I’m looking for a granny square to make an Afghan or throw. I love the look of this square. I don’t know the size of the square, therefore I cannot figure how many squares to make. I’d also love to know how much yardage of yarn I should purchase. My favorite yarn is Vanna’s Choice.
Erica Jackofsky
The square shown measures 6″ x 6″ and used 12 grams (26 yards) of worsted weight. The size and yardage will change depending on the yarn and hook used.

When I was a little girl my grandmother had made a wool Afghan like this using all green with a yellow flower. I have very little memories of her because I was 3 when she died. My mother would put this afghan on me when you was sick. I’m almost 60, and just recently started to crochet but have been a knitter for years. Seeing this pattern brought back to mind that heavy warm blanket. Now I have the pattern…thanks to lionbrand.

That is so sweet! You are very welcome! 🙂

Are all three granny squares the same size if you use the same yarn and hook for all?
Erica Jackofsky
The two squares in Basic stitch (Floral Granny and Daisy) are the same size with the same yarn & hook. I plan on doing another version of the Sunflower to match these two.
