The story behind the pattern.
Last summer I crocheted a lot of Dahlia-Daisy squares, but I only made a pattern for the center part (the flower). The Dahlia-Daisy square can be crocheted in two different ways, hence the name. One variant becomes a Dahlia and the other a Daisy. Read more about it here.
This is the Dahlia square pattern, if you want to crochet the Daisy square click here.
Introduction
First you need to do some Dahlia-Daisy flowers, as many as you need. Then you can make Dahlia squares!
You can follow the chart below or you can find the Dahlia-Daisy flower pattern here.
The stitches in the pictures are the stitches I crocheted (not what they count as).

Alternatives
The pattern below can be adjusted, depending on your own preferences. For example:
- You can start each round with a standing stitch wherever possible, instead of ch.
- You can end each round with an invisible join wherever possible, instead of a sl st.
- I prefer to weave in the ends after each round, for best result. You can choose to do that after finishing all rounds as well.

Dahlia-Daisy flower (round 1-5)
Crochet some Dahlia-Daisy flowers. Use the chart below or go to the pattern here.
When you have crocheted all the Dahlia-Daisy flowers you need to attach all loose yarn threads, if you haven’t already.


Dahlia square (round 6-9)
6 Now we turn the Dahlia-Daisy flower into a Dahlia square.
Change color. Turn the flower so the back is up. Start the round in the stitch that goes around sc r.4 (made by FPdc r.5).
*1 sc in the stitch that goes around sc r.4, ch 5, skip two stitches that goes around sc r.4* 4 times. Finish with 1 sl st in the first sc. Do not cut the yarn. (Total 20 ch, 4 sc)


7 Continue with the same color.
The flower is still face down.
1 sl st to ch-5 sp, *«8 dc» (counts as ch 3, 7dc in first repetition) around ch-5 sp, ch 4* 4 times.
Finish with 1 sl st in the first dc. Do not cut the yarn. (Total 1 sl st, 16 ch, 32 dc)

8 Continue with the same color. Turn the flower so the front is up. On this round we attach the flower petals.
1 sl st around ch-4 sp, *«2 dc» (counts as ch 3, 1 dc in first repetition) around ch-4 sp, «1 dc BLO, ch 2, 1 dc BLO» in dc r.4 (between 2 sc r.5) and around ch-4 sp, «2 dc» around ch-4 sp, 1 FPtr around FPdc r.5, 1 dc in dc, 1 dc BLO in dc r.4 (between 2 sc r.5) and in next dc, 2 dc, 1 FPdc around FPdc r.5, 2 dc, 1 dc BLO in dc r.4 (between 2 sc r.5) and in next dc, 1 dc in dc, 1 FPtr around FPdc r.5* 4 times.
Finish with 1 sl st in first dc. Do not cut yarn. (Total 8 ch, 56 dc, 4 FPdc, 8 FPtr)












9 Continue with same color.
3 sc (counts as 1 ch, 2 sc) *«1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc» in ch-2 sp, 17 sc* 3 times «1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc» in ch-2 sp, 14 sc. Finish with 1 sl st in first sc. Cut the yarn and fasten the yarn threads.
(Total 8 ch, 76 sc)
