Thanks, Jilly, I’ll pin it to the top of the comments and place it in the description box too. 💕

[@Cheetahmunk]

Great tutorial! I made 4 and joined them together to make an over the shoulder purse for the 2 cell phones I carry with me for work. Tons of compliments!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh wow , it sounds beautiful 😍😍😍

[@madmommy]

I've made two now, and I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this tutorial. The most helpful instruction was to "slip stitch into the first true stitch". This made so much more sense than many instructions that try to get you to count stitches, etc. Thank you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh, good, I’m so glad that helped 😀👏🏻👏🏻💕

[@doniwalker3145]

Wonderful tutorial! Thank you for not teaching me how to crochet while you’re teaching me the pattern! 😂I hate that! This is not a beginner project. Really great editing and easy instructions. Just finished and I love it! Thank you so much for this!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you 😀🧶💕

[@62pinke]

Merci

[@RhainEDaize]

I know!! Some tubers want yo show you how to chain . Lol. Thanks also for getting to the point.

[@paulettegarcia3266]

Yes! I as well want to thank you. If I need to know how to crochet I would go to a beginner project. The pattern is lovely ❤️

[@naturescaresshandmadesoaps4723]

Watched others making this square but you are definitely the best crochet teacher. Thanks for taking the time . 🥰

[@karenbenson3135]

I finished it...Thank you thank you...I am a leftie ...I watched your video on 6/15 and have finished a 1X-2X cardigan just yesterday...I would love to share a picture with you of your wonderful amazing teachings of this project and what I was able to create...you are patient and very thoroughly and know that you are appreciated by us all ❤❤❤

[@PlayHookywithMe]

How wonderful , Karen! Yes, I’d love to see. Can you send it to me on Instagram?

[@maryjones1]

Love the Retro appeal…brings me back to the ‘flower power’ days of my childhood.

[@eviedun]

I've made this a few times from the original pattern and I love it. It's a project that you can take along with you to doctor's appointments etc. without having all the bulk. It's funny to watch /hear people's comments on how you manage to make the flower and the background at the same time. 😉 Have fun with this ladies.🥰

[@yourstrulybyrose]

Oh my goodness! I LOVE this pattern! I just completed my first square, and I plan on making more using scrap yarn! Coasters galore!!! Thank you! Pictures to come soon on Instagram!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Wonderful! I’m glad ! 👏🏻🧶

[@jgraef919]

Wonderful pattern and very well explained, Roz. I love any old hippy clothing and nostalgic items from the decade. I'll make a few of your retro daisies to go along with a great peace sign pattern (trivet-type) that I crocheted a few years back. Good memories of fun days. ☮

[@marysmith9109]

Thsnk you. I used old payterns in Janurary making fronts of little girl purses for 2023 Christmas. Need 19. Stopped to make many other things, picked up again in August, ha. I had decided just to give to my granddaughters because I found the pattern so confusing. I bought all the yarn in Jan. Now I will go forward with my original plan. Thankyou. You rescued all this cotton yarn. My husband thanks you, too. 😅😊

[@PlayHookywithMe]

😆👏🏻👏🏻 happy to read this 😀

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi friends! Here's a fun and funky retro daisy for the end of summer. This was a requested video by a few viewers that were a little confused on the color change techniques for this square. These squares are addictive once you get the hang of it! xx

[@krystenemanthey5812]

Hi Donna I would like to do a join as you go for this retro daisy pattern. Could you please let me know if that's possible and would I need to change the last dc row you done to do the join as you go. Really love this pattern. Thanks Krystene ❤️

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@krystenemanthey5812 I think you’re asking me? I’m Roz . Yes, you can do jayg with this. I recommend you omit round 8 and join on round 7 . treat it like you would a solid granny square 👍🏻

[@krystenemanthey5812]

@PlayHookywithMe Thanks I will try that and see how I go; you may get another message as I am not good at doing things that don't have a pattern to follow right to the end but will be a good challenge for me. Sorry for the wrong name . 🧶😊♥️

[@FloOnTheGo]

Thank you for this tutorial! How does the other side of this square look? Do you think this could be a washcloth?

[@annitagalvan9049]

Hi, thank you for your tutorial. I'm very new to crochet and want to learn how to crochet a flower crochet square. I will only have to slow the speed so that I can follow your instructions easier. I have a query. What does the 'sk' stand for? Thank you
