4. Designer Notes / Tips

As you work on your Fountain Flower Granny Square, here are some helpful tips to ensure your project turns out beautifully:

– Stitch technique: The pattern features basic stitches like double crochet (dc) and slip stitch (sl st), but it also introduces a puff stitch for the flower petals, adding delightful texture. If you’re unfamiliar with puff stitches, don’t worry! They are simple to learn and create a lovely depth to your square.

– Assembly: If you’re planning to join multiple squares, consider using a whip stitch or slip stitch method for a seamless look. Lay your squares out before joining to ensure your colors are arranged to your liking.

– Yarn substitutions: If you can’t find the exact yarn colors suggested, any medium-weight yarn will work perfectly. Just ensure your yarn has a similar weight for consistent sizing.

– Gauge tips: Making a gauge swatch is a great way to ensure your square turns out the right size. Aim for 4 inches in diameter for your finished flower motif.

– Safety considerations: If making this granny square for children, consider omitting embellishments like safety eyes, or securely embroidering features using black embroidery thread instead.
