Key insights about video Crochet 70’s Vintage Daisy Flower Square Tutorial | DIY

🧶 The small vintage flower power granny square was made using a 3 millimeter hook for a hat, while a larger square was created with a 5 millimeter hook for a pillowcase cover.

🧵 The pattern was adapted from Crochet by Gigi on YouTube, with slight modifications to simplify the process.

🌈 Three colors are selected for the project: one for the seed (center), one for the petals, and one for the background.

🔁 The crochet process starts with a slip knot, chaining, and slip stitching to form the first round, with alternatives like a magic ring or circle available.

✂️ Different rounds are used for creating the seed, petal, and background portions, with yarn colors changed at strategic points and some yarn loops pulled up instead of being cut, to continue later.

⚙️ The petal formation involves chaining, double crochets, and strategic stitch skipping to craft the petal pattern.

🔗 The background color involves chaining and double crochets, working through specific parts of the seed, overlaying the petals, and creating a framework for the square shape.

🖌 The final touches include creating curves on top of the petals and turning the circular shape into a square by adding corner stitches.

🎨 The project is customizable, and can be adapted into various items like a hat, pillowcase, blanket, wall decor, or even a sweater.

🧼 The pattern allows for attachable elements such as a zipper for easy washing and reusability of the covers.
