About the Endless Garden of Flowers Square
In this pattern, the square is worked from the center out in joined, turned rounds. As a result, the easy two-round repeat is simple to remember and works well for longer crochet sessions. Clear round-by-round photos and photo tutorials are included to walk you through the cluster stitches that create the flowers.
You can stop after a few repeats for a 6-inch square, continue to 12 inches, or keep going to make a square blanket in any size. That flexibility makes this pattern ideal for scrap yarn projects, baby blankets, lapghans, and full-size afghans.
This design was created as part of the 2026 BAMCAL and pairs beautifully with my other Endless Afghan Squares.

Helpful Tutorials
Notes:
- I begin with a DMR (double magic ring) but you may use your favorite starting method to begin. Alternately, ch 4 and work Rnd 1 into the 4th ch from the hook. The first 3 skipped chs would replace the initial ch 3.
- Ch 3 counts as 1 hdc and ch 1.
- Sl st to join is made in the first st of the round.
- After Round 2, we will be working into the chain spaces (ch1sp, ch3sp) and skipping all other stitches (unless mentioned).
- Color Changes: You can join with your preferred joining method. For example, I joined with a slip stitch; alternatively, you can use a chain join or a standing stitch. After you decide which joining method you are using, join in the chain-space that follows the slip stitch join.
- Pattern is written using NEW COLOR and finish off COLOR. I rotated Color A and Color B but you can use colors of your choice for your square.
- If you’d like your endless blanket square to be larger, you can work more repeat rounds of Round 3 and Round 4.
- To make a square measuring approximately 12 inches X 12 inches, follow the pattern up to and including round 9, then add the final edging round (round 10).
- For a 6-inch square work up to and including round 5, then add the final edging round (round 11).
- Project is reversible.
- Before you begin, there are extra round-by-round photos following the written pattern.
