Granny Flower Square Pattern: 12-inch Protea Flower (Digital Download)

Protea Flower Granny Square Crochet Pattern

Crochet a stunning Protea Flower Granny Square with this detailed PDF crochet pattern. Inspired by the magnificent Protea flower that grows on the mountain slopes of my native South Africa, this large floral granny square combines rich texture with beautiful stitch detail to create a striking blanket block for heirloom crochet projects.

The Protea Flower Granny Square is one of the featured large granny squares from the African Flowers Afghan Collection. Worked in the round, this large crochet square creates a solid blanket-style fabric with very little space between stitches, making it perfect for warm crochet blankets and modern patchwork designs.

Although the sample is crocheted in colours inspired by the majestic Protea flower, the pattern can easily be customised using your own favourite colour palette.

Simply join multiple squares together to create beautiful handmade blankets, garments, bags, cushions, and home décor projects.
