Spokes and Petals Square 8″

I really love this square! It’s one of my favorites. I love how the spokes in the center are repeated in the corners to turn the flower into a square.

I hope you enjoy crocheting this as much as I do.  

Here, I’ve joined Spokes and Petals Squares with the flat braided join to create a small baby blanket.
