Dahlia Square – Free Crochet Pattern

Sharing is caring!

Spring is here, and what better way to celebrate than to appreciate all the beauty Spring brings us! All the green comes back and of course all the gorgeous flowers! It’s definitely one of my favorite times of the year, it just feels so hopeful with all the new life and colours around us! Dahlia’s are one of my top fave flowers, so for the Bouquet Of Flowers Afghan CAL, I designed the Dahlia Square.

Flower Power

The Dahlia Square features a textured center to emulate the full, beautiful blooms of Dahlia’s

The pattern is worked from the center out, and uses post stitches to make the texture pop.

I chose to use *WeCrochet’s *Brava Sport yarn in Seraphim and Fig. Brava Sport yarn is so soft, and comes in a ton of gorgeous colours!

A special thank you to *WeCrochet for providing the yarn for this project
