The African Flower Square

Scallop Border: • Scalloped Border Croch...
In this video I share how to make this lovely African flower square in crochet.
I made this blanket a couple of years ago and have had a lot of questions regarding it.
Details:
I used a 3.75 mm hook - the same one that is shown in this tutorial today.
amzn.to/3sBUqFv
Susan Bates Finishing Needle for Ends
amzn.to/32AVsaf
The blanket is 36" x 54" - not including the scalloped border.
8 squares across and 11 high.
Each square is 4x4 inches
I used a pack of yarn called "sweet pea" that was created for a "CAL" with Attic 24 . attic24.typepad.com/weblog/sw...
I did not participate in the crochet along - just wanted to use this color recipe for my blanket.
www.woolwarehouse.co.uk/attic...
This one pack was all I needed for the blanket.
If you are in the USA, you can find the yarn here:
www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/p/st...
You won't find the sweetpea pack but here are all the colors in it:
This pack contains 15 balls of Stylecraft Special DK (100g), a 100% acrylic yarn, in the following shades:
Pistachio (1822)
Meadow (1065)
Cypress (1824)
Violet (1277)
Lavender (1188)
Wisteria (1432)
Clematis (1390)
Cream (1005)
Soft Peach (1240)
Candyfloss (1130)
Blush (1833)
Pomegranate (1083)
Fuschia Purple (1827)
Magenta (1084)
Plum (1061)
For the border, I first did hdc's all the way around in green (hdc, chn 2, hdc on corners) . Then, I did another round on this with sc's in the same color I was planning for the scallop edge (purple) . The scallops consisted of 7 dc's with sc's between each to anchor them down. If you want to see a video on how to do this , let me know.

    I like the stained glass look in granny square pictures I have seen and I made my first African Flower square trying to achieve that effect. I used a dark brown for Rounds 1, 4 and 6. I used a bright blue/green verigated color for Rounds 2 and 3 and a bright green for Round 5. It came out nicely! I used Red Heart Super Saver in the colors Coffee, Macaw and Jade with a 6.5 mm hook (K). It does look very much like stained glass!

    Thank you so much for helping me to complete an afghan that I started some 40 years ago for my son. There was once a pattern which I have been hunting for the past few months to no avail. I decided to find some more modern granny squares and in doing so have just completed this square. Most granny squares just didn't work with the instructions given but yours was by far the best one I found! The reason I have decided on completing this afghan was because some squares were done by my mom and will be a nice keepsake for my son or his two newborn sons! Thank you again and am looking forward to future videos.

I am hoping to take 5-6 months to make a blanket. I work full time so my hours that I can spend on this are limited. The first square I made took 1 hour and I am sure the subsequent will take less time. Cheers and God bless.

    Did you need to buy an extra skein or two of the green and purple to do the border or was there enough in the Sweet Pea kit to do this? I am a newbie to crochet as well and have finished 9 african flower squares and am learning the seaming and border while I await the kit which should arrive any day. I'm very excited!!

    Hi there. Thank you for your wonderful instructions on making the African Flower Squares. My first attempt at crocheting after 50 years of knitting! After four months I now have 88 squares and am ready to sew them together. I have watched your video regarding this and think with a little practice, I will be good to go. My question is, you show how to sew 4 of the squares together but what would you suggest for 8 squares across and 11 down. Should I do 8 strips of 11and then sew the strips together? Should I sew 4 across and 4 down and then sew all the squares of 16 together? Should I just sew them together one by one? What would be your suggestion be? Seems like it will get fairly bulky by the end of the process. Thanks for your help! Heather

    When I did mine I joined several together to make a panel then joined those panels together. So I think that is similar to your 8 strips of 11 that you mentioned. It really is a personal preference and what is most efficient with your yarn as you’re seaming. But that way did work well for me . I’m so glad you are trying crochet!! I hope you are enjoying it !!! I’m you in reverse. After 30 years of crocheting I’m finally learning to knit and I love it! 😆🙌🏻🧶🧶🧶❤️

    It doesn’t seem to matter what I am doing. I am on round 5 starting in the exact same spot as you. ALL clusters have the right amount and no matter what after my first four SC there is THREE stitches left so when I skip two I am not going into the spike. Any ideas where I could be going wrong. I moved over one and it worked out until after the first corner and was no longer lining up.

    It really sounds like you’re overlooking a stitch somewhere. That’s really easy to do because the previous stitches can hide it sometimes. Are you remembering the “p” trick and getting into the top of the stitch leaning to the right? I’d recommend you just “fudge it “ and find a way to just get those stitches in even if you have to add two sc’s into one stitch if nothing else is working. 💕 this is when I wish I could be sitting next to you to see what’s going on to help you more!

    So beautiful. My question would be: how many colours are used, and what is the strategy of keeping overall balance in their appearance. For example when I use five colours with four per square, there is 120 combinations what is about a blanket size. But if not going with one of each, how can I think so that some colours do not over take to different impresion or desired colour dominance?

    In the description box, I share the color pack I used. I think it was a pack of 16 colors. I have to admit, Ksenija, I just took a chance and combined colors without much planning. I didn't find it an issue where one color dominated more than the others. One thing that helped - I would put each color to the side after I used it. Then I would not reuse that color until I was finished with all 16. Not a perfect plan, but it worked for me. Hope that helps. xx
