Hi everyone,
Here is the final instalment in my Easy Peasy Flower trilogy! And its all about turning these little flowers into squares.
I will be using the 8 petal flower for this square. You can find the links to make these flowers below.

Materials
Pattern & Tutorial
Make an 8 petal flower.
Round 1
Make a slip knot. Sl-st into the 4 st (middle tr) of any petal. (Ch 7 and sl-st into the top of the 4 st of the next petal) 7 times. Ch 7 and sl-st in the same st as the starting sl-st. (Total 8 7 ch-sp)
Round 2
Sl-st in the first 7 ch-sp. Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc), then make (5 dcs, ch 2, 6 dc) in the same ch-sp. [Make 6 hdc in the next 7 ch-sp. Make (6 dc, ch 2, 6 dc) in the next 7ch-sp] repeat 3 times. Make 6 hdc in the last 7ch-sp and sl-st to the top of the first ch 3. I like to start a new round in the ch-sp as this makes the joining less visible. So for that, sl-st in the next 5 sts and in the ch-sp, making a total of 6 sl-st. (Total of 48 dcs, 24 hdcs & 4 2ch-sp)
Round 3
Ch 3 in the ch-sp, then make (1 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the same ch-sp. [Make 1 dc in the next 18 sticthes, then (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the next ch-sp] repeat 3 times. Then make 18 dcs in the next 18 stitches and join with a sl-st to the top of the first ch 3. (Total of 88 dcs and 4 2ch-sp)
Round 4
Ch 1 in same st as the sl-st. Then make 1 sc in the next st. Make (2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc) in the ch-sp. [Make 1 sc in each of the next 22 sts. Make (2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc) in the next ch-sp] repeat 3 times. Now, make 1 sc in each of the next 20 sts. To make the last sc I did an invisible join, thus creating a stitch on top of the ch 1 made at the start of the round. (Total of 104 scs and 4 2ch-sp)
I followed the tutorial by Dedri over at Look At What I Made blog ( here is the link to the tutorial by her – Invisible Join vs Slip Stitch Join).
I have tried to show you in the pics below how I achieved the final st by doing an invisible join.
And here is the finished square getting into shape on the blocking board.
Now I am still debating whether to turn my small pile of squares into a cushion cover or keep making till I have enough for a throw. In the meantime, if you do happen to turn your easy peasy’s into squares, then please do tag them under #easypeasyflower on Instagram and tag me as well if you share them on Facebook or Pinterest so I can get inspired by all the wonderful things you make with them.
Have a wonderful week and thank you for stopping by.
See you again soon!
Love,
Aki.

Maybe if you try to copy paste the pattern in a word document and then print that out. Let me know if that doesnt work and i’ll try to find another way for you to get.

Is it possible to make the squares out of the seven petal flowers? I made a whole bunch of them before I realized that you used the eight petal ones…
