There has been a huge response to a Crochet-a-long that is using my Easy Daisy Granny Square pattern, so I thought I'd post it here:
MaryEllen’s Easy Daisy Granny Square
Materials: G hook for 6” sq. H hook for 7” sq.
Small amounts of 4 ply worsted weight yarn in yellow for the center,
white for the petals, green for leaves, and your choice for background rows.
Weave in all loose ends as you finish each round.
Row 1: With yellow, ch 4, join with sl st to form a circle; * work sc, ch 4 in
loop* 8 times.
Row 2: Join white, in any ch 4 loop. In each loop around work *sl st, ch3, 2
tr, ch 3, sl st ch 1*. Repeat around.
Row 3: Join green with a sc in ch space between any 2 petals. Work *ch 4,
sc in each ch 1 space between petals* all the way around, finish with sl st into
top of 1st sc. Push white petals to the front of the green loops.
Row 4: Sl st into next green ch 4 loop. Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, in same loop.
Work *3 dc in next loop; work 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, in next loop (corner)*; repeat
around. (4 corners with 4 3 dc groups between) Finish off green.
Row 5 & 6: (Background rows) Attaching your choice of color in any corner
space, work beg corner (ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc). *Work 3 dc groups in each
space between the 3 dc groups of previous row, across to next corner. Work
corner (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)*. Repeat to complete row. Sl st into corner space and
repeat as for row 5.
Weave in all ends. If a larger square is desired, work additional background
rows as needed.
