I saw a request to find this granny square pattern in a crochet group. After searching the web and failing to find the original designer's pattern, here's my interpretation. If you know who made the original version please let me know so that I can credit them
Flower Garden Granny Square
Designed by Amanda Phillips - Rainbow Rose Yarn crafts
Note: photos will be updated and a photo tutorial being written
This beautiful granny square is perfect for blankets, cushions and bag designs. It looks complicated but uses simple stitches. It would be suitable for an adventurous beginner.
I’m writing this pattern up in response to a recent request for help on a Facebook group as the pattern for this square was proving difficult to locate. I searched all the usual places but only found photos so here’s my interpretation of the pattern based on those photos.
If you know where the original pattern can be found, please let me know as I would like to credit the designer as the inspiration for this design
