The flowers range from lilac-blue to, pastel white, but the most popular are the deep purple balls of flowers, which brightly tower over a lush bush of deep dark foliage. The colors used in the example flower square are based on the popular deep purple and dark green.

Make this pretty crochet square based on the Agapantus flower

This granny square has a finished size of 30 cm x 30cm and can be worked in a multitude of colors. The pattern is worked in rounds, which start into a magic ring, the first 12 rounds create the flower, and the following rows form the final crochet square. Example square is worked with a 3.5 mm hook, worked with 100% cotton, any type of yarn of your choice can be used for this blanket.

Difficulty level: Intermediate

Skills required:

  • Understand the basics of working in the round.
  • You should be able to understand the basics of joining different yarn colors and how to end and finish rows.
  • This online version of this pattern is not a step-by-step tutorial, if you wish to get a more detailed version feel free to purchase the photo tutorial/pattern on any of the listed platforms

Techniques used:

  • All crochet squares are worked in the round, check that your final row count per side is correct or you will struggle to join your crochet squares at a later stage.
  • Gauge can be important, 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.

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.

    Yarn used in this pattern example is lightweight DK yarn. I prefer working with cotton , my preferred yarn each has an average length of 130 yds/119m per 1.75oz/50g skein/ball.

    Recommended yarn for similar to finish square size is : a lightweight double knitting yarn, some crochet councils refer to this yarn as the 3/Light category. In Europe and Australia, you might see DK yarn labeled as 8-ply.

    You can use any yarn of your choice, just note that by using lighter yarn and a smaller crochet hook, finished square and blanket size will be overall smaller. Using a heavier yarn and larger crochet hook, the finished size of squares and blanket will be larger.

    Crochet Hooks
    The crochet granny square example pattern was worked up in a: 3.5 mm / US 4 /E-4 crochet hook.

    This pattern is written and charted using standard US crochet terminology.
