Crochet Poinsettia Square Pattern + Video
Crochet Poinsettia Square Free Crochet Pattern
This Crochet Poinsettia Square is a beautiful motif you can make and use for so many projects.
You can create a couple and turn them into flower-themed crocheted items like floral afghans, garments, and accessories.
Like my Waterlily Granny Square, you can make this square bigger just by adding more granny square rounds.
And while the design may look intricate, it’s totally manageable and fun to do! You can play around with different color combinations and use other yarn weights than DK yarn.
Scroll down for the written row-by-row pattern and the video tutorial I made for those of you who learn better from seeing how it’s done.
