3D Crochet Flower Granny Square

Pretty pink puffy petals! I’ve come up with a large 3D Crochet Flower Square that would make a gorgeous stand-out piece in a granny square afghan and it was created specifically for the Moogly CAL!  Thank you Tamara for the opportunity to be one of the designers this year! The flower portion is not as complicated as it may look. The entire pattern is made up of chains, SC, and DC stitches plus I have a detailed photo tutorial in addition to the written pattern. There are so many color combinations you could use! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
