Cotton Candy Flower Crochet Square Pattern – Petal & Patch CAL Week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of the Petal & Patch Crochet-Along!

I hope you’ve enjoyed making your first four squares and are starting to get into the rhythm of alternating between the flower motifs and the textured wattle stitch squares. This week we’re adding the Cotton Candy Flower and its matching wattle squares, bringing a lovely soft pink into the blanket.

It’s amazing how much difference a single new color can make. The combination of the blue and pink flowers starts to give the blanket its signature patchwork look, and from this point on you’ll really begin to see the design come together.

About This Week’s Squares

This week you’ll be making:

  • 2 Cotton Candy Flower Squares
  • 2 Cotton Candy Wattle Squares

You’ll make two of each square, giving you another four completed squares by the end of the week. The construction is exactly the same as Week 1, so you can simply enjoy crocheting without learning any new techniques.

New to the crochet-along? Start with the Petal & Patch CAL introduction where you’ll find the full schedule, yarn substitutions, and everything you need before getting started.

Materials

Brava Worsted (worsted weight, 100% Premium Acrylic; 218 yards / 200 meters, 100g):

Cream: 161 yards / 148 meters
Cotton Candy: 447 yards / 410 meters
Coral: 9 yards / 8 meters

You’ll also need:

5 mm crochet hook (or size needed to obtain gauge)
Scissors
Yarn needle

Optional but recommended: If you’re making the colorwork squares, I highly recommend using yarn bobbins and a bobbin holder. They make it much easier to keep multiple colors organized and help prevent tangles while you crochet.

Crochet Tip

When weaving in your ends, I like to go back and forth through the stitches at least three times. It takes a little longer, but it makes the yarn much more secure and helps prevent the ends from working loose over time, especially on a blanket that’s going to be used regularly.

If you’d like to see exactly how I weave in my ends, watch my How to Weave in Crochet Ends video tutorial.

Cotton Candy Wattle Stitch Squares

Your wattle stitch squares should be the same size as your colorwork squares. If you haven’t already, I recommend making one colorwork square and one wattle stitch square first and blocking them both before continuing with the blanket.

Because the stitch patterns are different, and because everyone’s tension varies slightly, the two squares may not match perfectly straight away. If your wattle stitch square is too wide or too narrow, adjust your starting chain, making sure it remains a multiple of 3. If it is too tall or too short, adjust the number of rows until it matches the size of your colorwork square.

Once you’ve found the right size, keep using those same adjustments for every remaining wattle stitch square in the blanket. That way, all of your squares will match when it’s time to join them together.

Cotton Candy Flower Square

The squares can be worked either by following the written instructions or the color charts.

Reading The Chart – Video Tutorial

  • The first row of the pattern is worked in FSC. 
  • For every following row, work a SC into every stitch. 
  • At the end of every row, ch 1 (not counted as a stitch) and turn.
  • The ch 1 at the end of each row is not shown on the chart.
  • The chart is worked flat. Read odd-numbered rows from right to left, and even-numbered rows from left to right.
  • Each square is equal to one SC (or FSC for the first row).

Right and Wrong Sides


This pattern is worked in single crochet back and forth in rows, which creates a smooth, reversible fabric. Because both sides look identical, the Right Side (RS) and Wrong Side (WS) labels are used only to keep the chart orientation consistent.

The chart is read from the bottom up, starting in the bottom-right corner. Everyone follows the chart in this same way, no matter which hand you use to crochet. The only difference is which side you treat as the Right Side (RS):

  • Right-handed crocheters: Odd-numbered rows are the Right Side (RS).
  • Left-handed crocheters: Even-numbered rows are the Right Side (RS).

Following this setup keeps the chart orientation consistent for everyone so that the finished design faces the correct direction, no matter which hand you crochet with.

Color Changes – Video Tutorial

  • When using the same color twice in a row, add multiple bobbins of color as necessary. 
  • To change colors, work last st with the current color until 2 loops remain on the hook, yarn over with the new color, and pull through.
  • Use bobbins to add new yarn, do not carry the yarn that is not in use under stitches.
