Here is the Granny Square in Bloom pattern, as used in Liezel’s cushion that I blogged about here.

If you click on the picture, it will open as a PDF document which you can print. The PDF contains step by step photos. The pattern also appears on the Photo Tutorials tab of this blog.

If you don’t need step by step photos, here is the written pattern. I use US crochet terms*:
