KristinesCrochets : 12 Petal Flower Square Motif

Hi Everyone! 😊

This time I am sharing the 12 Petal Flower Square crochet pattern with you.

It's worked up in 7 rounds using DK weight yarn and a 3,5 mm crochet hook. The square motifs are all joined along the way using the ''join as you go'' method. You can use them for pillow covers, afghans, tablecloths, tops dresses or any other projects of your choice.

If you prefer to learn by watching, I have a video tutorial below. Or scroll down to view the written pattern!

Happy Crocheting! 😊
