How can I make the flower in my Granny Square bigger?

[Nekita]

Hello, I am following a dainty daisy tutorial for a tote bag. The tote bag needs two kinds of granny squares, dainty daisies and solid coloured squares. I made the other squares so that it has 5 rows of double crochets after making the magic circle.

Is there a way I can make the daisy on the daisy granny square bigger? I made a few extra rows after the daisy to match it with the size of the other squares and I don’t like how small the flower looks.

Is this it? Using a larger hook will make it a little larger but not as much as you would like.  A thicker yarn would also make them larger.  Now you see why the squares were small----so they would be proportional to the flower.  I am afraid there is no easy way to make flowers larger without a significant rewrite of the pattern and it will change the flowers look.  It would be better to search for a different pattern.  It might help the look of your square if you break up the color in the rows you added by making a row white or the color you used for the flower.

I agree on looking for another pattern, there are gobs of blanket squares with some sort of daisy flower in the middle.

Here is a pattern of granny flowers with 5 rows, will this work?  Looking at the center square, where the center is purple - make the center yellow, the next 2 white, the next one green for leaves, and then a border color to match the solid color squares?

Hey, that is the one. Thank you for replying to me. I don't think I have enough ability to modify the pattern, I might look for another pattern instead.

Hi, did you perhaps attach something? I apologise, I am new to the forum and am still getting used to the controls.

hahaha, thank you for sharing the pattern with me, it looks great. The colours you suggested sound good too. I'll try it out and see how I like it.
