Gauge & Sizing Notes
Don’t skip the gauge swatch! Checking your tension is essential to ensure your Pink Floral Lace Granny Square turns out just right. While specific measurements for this project might not be provided, a good rule of thumb for worsted weight yarn is to aim for an approximate gauge of 4×4 inches (10×10 cm) = 14 double crochets by 8 rows. To adjust the size of your granny square, simply increase your starting chain in multiples of 5. If your swatch is too small, try going up a hook size for a looser fit; conversely, if it’s too large, a smaller hook should do the trick. Happy crocheting!

Start by making a magic ring (MR). Then, chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), and work 15 double crochets (dc) into the MR. Once completed, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the beginning chain 3 and tighten the ring. Your center flower should have a total of 16 dc (16 dc).
Row 2: Creating the First Layer
Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) in the same stitch. Now, chain 3 and skip the next stitch. In the following stitch, sc, and repeat this process around. End with a chain 3, then join with a sl st to the first sc. You should see 8 chain-3 spaces forming (8 ch-3 sps).
Row 3: Petals in the Spaces
Slip stitch into the first chain-3 space. Chain 2, then work 4 dc in the same space, followed by a chain 2 and 5 dc in the same space again. Next, sc in the next sc, and repeat the 5 dc, chain 2, and 5 dc pattern in each remaining chain-3 space, making sure to place a sc between the petals. You’ll create 8 flower petals total (8 petals).
Row 4: Inner Lace Foundation
Slip stitch to the center chain-2 space of the first petal. Chain 1 and sc in the same space. Then, chain 7 and sc in the center chain-2 space of the next petal. Repeat around the flower, joining with a sl st. You will create 8 chain-7 spaces in this round (8 ch-7 sps).
Row 5: Elaborate Petal Grouping
Slip stitch into the first chain-7 space. Chain 3 and work 6 dc in the same space, then chain 5. For the next chain-7 space, work 7 dc, follow with a chain 5, and repeat this pattern around, ensuring to join with a sl st. You’ll end up with 8 groups of 7 dc (8 groups of 7 dc).
Row 6: Extended Lace Sections
Slip stitch across to the fourth dc of the first group. Chain 1 and sc in this same stitch, followed by a chain 7. Now, sc in the fourth dc of the next group and chain 7 again. Repeat this for each group, joining with a sl st at the end. This will give you 16 chain-7 spaces (16 ch-7 sps).
Row 7: Floral Petal Layer
In this step, slip stitch into the first chain-7 space, chain 1, sc in the space, then work a chain 3, followed by 3 dc, 3 treble crochet (tr), 3 dc, chain 3, and sc in the same space to form one elongated petal. Sl st into the next chain-7 space and repeat around to create the floral lace layer. You’ll form 16 petals total (16 petals).

Expert Tips for Pink Floral Lace Granny Square
-
Maintain Consistent Tension: Ensure that your stitches are uniform throughout the project. This will prevent the square from curling or warping.
-
Count Carefully: Keep track of your stitch counts in each round to avoid losing your place or unintentionally skipping stitches, which can disrupt the pattern.
-
Secure Loose Ends: When weaving in your yarn tails, make sure they’re stitched into several stitches for durability. This will keep the edges neat in your Pink Floral Lace Granny Square.
-
Gentle Blocking: After completion, wet block your square gently. This helps the floral and lace motifs bloom beautifully and maintain their shape.
-
Check for Twists: Before joining rounds, check your piece for any twists in the foundation chain. Twists can lead to uneven edges and distort your square’s lovely design.
Pink Floral Lace Granny Square FAQs
Can I substitute the yarn with a different fiber blend?
Absolutely! You can substitute the worsted cotton/acrylic blend with a 100% acrylic yarn or a cotton yarn if you prefer. Just remember that different fibers can affect the drape and softness of your final Pink Floral Lace Granny Square, so I recommend checking your gauge first.
How do I adjust the size of my granny square?
If you’d like to make your Pink Floral Lace Granny Square larger or smaller, you can adjust the number of stitches in each round or use a bigger or smaller hook. Keep in mind that changing yarn weights will also change the size, so be sure to test your gauge.
Why is my square curling at the edges?
Don’t panic! Curling may happen if your tension is too tight or if you’re working with an unsuitable hook size for your yarn. I suggest checking your tension and trying to relax your stitches or using a larger hook to help your square lay flat.
I’m having trouble with dropped stitches. How can I fix this?
It’s an easy fix! Simply use a yarn needle to pick up the dropped stitch from the back of your work and reinsert it into the last row of stitches. Take your time, and secure it back in place. If you notice several dropped stitches, it might be time to revisit your tension!
What hook size should I use for the best results?
For the Pink Floral Lace Granny Square, a 3.5 mm hook works perfectly to create the delicate lace details. If your stitches feel too tight or loose, don’t hesitate to experiment with a slightly different hook size until you find the perfect fit for your crochet style.
