Leafy Crochet Square Pattern – Petal & Patch CAL Week 5
Welcome to the final square week of the Petal & Patch Crochet-Along!
This week we’re making the Leafy Square alongside the matching Dublin Wattle Stitch Squares. Once you’ve finished these four squares, all twenty squares of your blanket will be complete and you’ll be ready to move on to joining everything together.
I always love reaching this stage of a blanket project. Seeing all of the finished squares laid out together makes all those hours of crocheting feel worthwhile, and it’s exciting knowing you’re only one step away from having a finished blanket.

About This Week’s Squares
This week you’ll be making:
- 2 Leafy Squares
- 2 Dublin Wattle Squares
These are the final four squares in the blanket. Once they’re finished, you’ll have all twenty squares ready to block, arrange, and join together.
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: 227 yards / 208 meters
Dublin: 443 yards / 406 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
Once you’ve finished all twenty squares, it’s time for one of my favorite parts of the project: playing around with the layout!
I’ll be sharing the arrangement I used for my blanket in next week’s post, but don’t feel like you have to copy it exactly. Try moving the flower squares around, experimenting with different color placements, and seeing which arrangement you like best. Even small changes can give the blanket a completely different look.
Once you’ve found a layout you love, take a quick photo with your phone before next week’s post. It’s much easier to refer back to a photo than trying to remember where every square was meant to go.
Prefer the PDF?
Following along on the blog? That’s great! But if you’d rather have the complete pattern from start to finish, the premium PDF is available now.
Here’s what you get with the paid pattern:
- The complete pattern from start to finish, including every flower and wattle square, joining instructions, and the border.
- No ads or distractions, so you can focus on crocheting instead of scrolling through blog posts.
- Printable color charts that are easy to follow as you work.
- Coloring pages for planning your own color combinations.
- Interactive Stitch Fiddle charts with row tracking, stitch highlighting, and zoom controls.

Dublin 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.
Make 2 Wattle Squares using Dublin.
Ch 48
Row 1: Skip the first 2 chs. *In next ch work 1 SC, ch 1, 1 DC; skip next 2 chs, repeat from * across to last ch. Work 1 SC in last ch. Ch 1, and turn.
Rows 2-29: *In next ch-1 space, work 1 SC, ch 1, 1 DC, repeat from * across. Work 1 SC in the turning ch. Ch 1, and turn.
Row 30: *In next ch-1 space, work 1 SC, ch 1, 1 DC, repeat from * across. Work 1 SC in the turning ch. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Leafy 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.
