This is a free written crochet pattern, to help you crochet granny squares with a FLOWER in the center. I just love the vintage Shabby decor effect these gorgeous crochet pillows or cushion covers have. They are so simple and easy to crochet.

I have included some helpful photo tutorials to help even if you are a beginner crochet student, following a simple Granny Square crochet pattern you can make this up in no time.

Originally I made the cushion to match my decor at the time and To finish I made extra crochet flowers, to attach to the corners of the connecting seams at the corners where the normal granny square and the flower granny sqaure corners met.

For the Vintage Granny flower Square pillow, I crocheted 5 granny Squares with a border of 4 rounds worked into the back loop only.

And 4 granny Squares with a crochet flower in the middle.
Very easy to crochet. This is a relatively easy way to crochet the flower into the Granny Square

TO start the granny Square with a Flower in the Middle
Chain 4, slip to first to join to make a ring. Working the FIRST round directly into the Ring
Rnd 1: Ch3, (counts as first DC of first cluster) make a further 2 dc, (3dc cluster made) chain 5, sl st in top of the LAST dc, *3dc, ch5, slst in top of the last dc* repeat, 6 MORE times, join with an sl st in top of chain 3 (8 ch spaces, and 8x  3dc clusters are made) 
Rnd 2: sc in next dc, *12 dc in next ch5 space, (PETAL), skip 1 dc, sc in next dc *repeat around,slst in first st. 

Rnd 3: (change color if you wish the background granny square to be a different color

Working into the Chain spaces to create the first round of the granny square

Rnd 5: sl st to next corner ch3 space, ch3, (counts as first dc) 2dc, ch3, 3dc, [corner made] (ch1 in next ch space, 3dc, ) x 2, ch1 in nxt space (3dc, ch3, 3dc, repeat 2 more times, (in next ch space, ch1, 3dc) 2 times ch1, sl st to join. 
Rnd 6: sl st to next ch space, in ch space, ch3, (counts as first dc 2dc, ch3, 3dc *( ch 1 in nxt space, 3dc, (3 times)m, chain 1, in nxt space, (3dc, ch3, 3dc) repeat to * 2 more times (in next ch space, ch1, 3dc, 3 times chain 1 slip to join 
If you wish to make the Crochet Square Bigger continue in the established pattern, you will make 1 EXTRA 3dc than in previous rounds,  into each side of the square. 
sc in each stitch around 

Joining the Squares is relatively easy. position them as you want the pattern to follow and then join them together into the Square.

I used a cream pillowcase folded to the correct size of joined squares, and attached to the right side of the pillow, this makes an easy slip over for the cushion padding.
