Materials Needed:

Worsted weight cotton yarn
4mm crochet hook

Gauge:

The squares come out to 4.5 by 4.5 inches.

Square Construction:

Center:

Start with a magic ring, or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
Make 11 more double crochets into the ring, totaling 12 double crochets.
Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3, or use an invisible join for a neater finish.

Petals:

Switch to treble crochets and popcorn stitches for the petals.
Start with a slip knot on your hook, then slip stitch into any stitch.
Chain 3 or 4 (counts as the first treble crochet).
Make two more treble crochets in the same stitch.
Remove the hook from the loop, insert it from front to back into the top of the beginning chain, grab the loop and pull it through to form a popcorn stitch. Chain 2.
Repeat around until you have 12 popcorn stitches. Join at the end.

Square Formation:

Start working in double crochets for the sides and treble crochets for the corners.
Chain 2 or 3 (counts as the first double crochet) in any chain-2 space.
Add two more double crochets into the same space (granny cluster).
In the corner, work 3 treble crochets, chain 2, 3 treble crochets.
Repeat the pattern for each side and corner of the square.
Join with a slip stitch at the end of the round.

Final Round (to straighten the square):

Continue with granny clusters and replace treble crochets with double crochets in corners for this round.
Start with chain 2 or 3, then form a granny cluster in the next space.
Each corner is worked as 3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets.
Continue with granny clusters between the corners.
Join with a slip stitch or use an invisible join for finishing.

Joining Squares:

Recommend working in panels, joining all squares horizontally first, then vertically.
Use a slip stitch join with a light tension to avoid puckering.
Line up squares and match stitch for stitch, working slip stitches across.
After horizontal joins are complete, start on the vertical joins in the same manner.

Zigzag Border (for joining squares):

Start with a foundation of single crochets around the blanket, with special attention to corners and joints.
Then, create the zigzag effect by working slip stitches and chain ones all around the edge.
