Here are some fun and textured crochet squares for you to make. These are not boring, flat granny squares. These are the kind that make you stop and think, “Wow, I want to try that!
1. Raised Petal Flower Square
This square has flower petals that stand up off the fabric, so it looks almost sculpted. The center is a pretty flower, and the petals rise up in layers to give a 3D look. It’s perfect if you like floral designs that feel fancy but are still doable if you know basic stitches. Make a whole blanket of these flowers, or mix them in with simple squares for a special pop.
