It’s time for some fancy basics.

However, you may well ask: “And what are fancy basics, pray tell?” Of course, I shall endeavour to explain. To summarize, a fancy basic is a fundamental (basic!) crochet project that has been made fun and unique. In brief, here, these are crochet squares with a floral motif that are then developed using amazing central rosettes. Thus, each of these fairly common building blocks becomes a little gem that will be the highlight of another project, or a little jewel all on its own. Moreover, they are also simple projects, so that you don’t have to reach too deep into your arsenal.

To begin with, this square has a lovely, contrasting central flower that gives it an almost 3D texture. Consequently it’ll be a great center piece on a flat blanket or throw.
