Turn a Six-Petal Flower into a Stunning Crochet Square

Are you ready to add a touch of floral elegance to your crochet projects? We’re excited to share an inspiring new pattern: The Sage Granny Square by Jane Snedden Peever.

This square combines the beauty of a six-petal flower with a clever transformation into a modern square, making it perfect for incorporating into blankets, cushions, or any other crochet projects.

This project offers a chance to experiment with shapes and design, pushing your crochet skills while embracing creativity and, perhaps, a bit of trial and error. The result? A stunning crochet square that’s both intricate and rewarding to make.

A Floral Design with a Twist

The magic begins with a simple six-petal flower as the foundation of the design. This floral motif provides the square with its whimsical, delicate look.

But Jane didn’t stop there. She took things a step further by adding a round to straighten the sides, transforming the flower into a hexagon shape.

The real challenge? Turning that hexagon into a perfect square. As Jane highlights, this is not as simple as "cutting corners"—adjusting six sides into four requires some crafty thinking.

Through trial and error, Jane developed a clever pattern that transforms the hexagon into a square, while ensuring the flower motif at the center remains the focus.

The result is a beautifully balanced design that looks detailed yet approachable for all crochet levels, thanks to Jane’s guidance.

The Fancy Border

What sets this project apart is not only the clever transformation of shapes but also the elegant border Jane adds to finish the piece.

This decorative stitch is one of Jane’s favorites for embellishing her crochet projects, and it adds a level of elegance that makes the square stand out.

This border stitch is adaptable, meaning you can apply it to other squares beyond the Sage Granny Square. It’s simple to execute but leaves a polished, professional finish that enhances the overall design.

Whether you’re adding it to a blanket or cushion, this border provides a beautiful final touch that elevates your crochet work.

For those who love adding a bit of flair to their crochet, this border is highly customizable. Jane explains how to incorporate this stitch in detail in her video tutorial, allowing you to see exactly how it’s done and make it your own.
