Quick tips and tricks for small crochet squares

All crochet squares are worked in the round, ensure that your final row count per side is correct or you will struggle to join your block at a late stage.
Gauge is not essential, but it's best to stick to the same yarn weight and crochet hook throughout making your squares, or your squares will not match up.
Work ends, as you go will help you at the end when it comes to finishing the blanket unless you love spending a day at least to work on loose ends.
Ensure that each side of a square has the required stitch count, according to the pattern instruction count, this will ensure that joining your squares will be simple.

Basic Skills required for making small crochet squares

Understand the basics of working in the round.
Joining different yarn colors.
How to end and finish rows.
Being able to read and understand the basic written patterns as the abbreviations associated with patterns
It helps to have the ability to read and understand a stitch diagram, especially if it's an advanced design

Materials required for crochet project

I add these pattern requirements as a simple guide to what I have used in the example pattern as well as some suggestions that I might think will work if the required materials are not obtainable. I often get requests on what yarn I have used and what color, so I hope this section helps.

Best yarn for for crochet flower squares

Lightweight yarn like DK yarn, or double knitting yarn, or referred to by some crochet councils as the 3/Light category.
In Europe and Australia, you might see DK yarn labeled as 8-ply yarn.
The above-mentioned yarn is not a requirement for the pattern, you can use any yarn of your choice,
just note that using a more lightweight yarn and smaller hook, the finished square size will be smaller and blanket size will be overall smaller.
Using a heavier yarn and larger hook, the squares will be larger and the overall blanket size will be larger

Crochet Hook required for pattern

The example pattern uses a: 3.5 mm / US 4 /E-4 fo the example yarn used.
But feel free to use the hook that suits your preferred yarn.

Tension
I would suggest sticking to the same hook and yarn across all Blocks and when joining, as this will ensure that all your Blocks match up.
