This lovely Tulip Stitch Afghan Square is available as a free crochet pattern in 5 different sizes. A photo tutorial is also available to show you how to crochet this stitch pattern. This version of the Tulip Stitch pattern is worked in double crochet stitches, rather than single crochet stitches. The pattern works up quickly and creates a pretty finished square. This will also work for blankets and other items. If you'd like to make a pretty and feminine hat with this stitch, I have also created a free pattern in 11 sizes using the Tulip Stitch. It is linked in the post and a video tutorial is also available. The hat is worked in rounds but the video will demonstrate how the Tulips are created using a popcorn stitch - if you prefer videos. I really love this pretty and feminine stitch pattern. I hope you find the pattern and tutorial easy to follow.
This simple, but beautiful crochet granny square pattern takes the Primrose and Proper stitch pattern you know so well and re-imagines it in a completely new way. A delicate ruffle frames the center of the square giving it plenty of romantic charm. This square would make a great addition to any sampler afghan, or it can be used as a stand-alone square if you prefer. There is a matching bonus square at the bottom of the post.
This fun, free Cathedral Window 12 square crochet pattern can be made in a variety of color combinations. It is reminiscent of a cathedral window and the colors used can accent that look if you choose. This square also looks great when made in a single color. The Cathedral Window 12 crochet square is an easy pattern to work up and would look great in an afghan. Make your Cathedral Window 12 square in soft, classic colors to make a beautiful, vintage and heirloom blanket.
Most commonly referred to as the block stitch, but sometimes called the mosaic stitch or dot stitch, this square features little pops of color between rounds of the classic granny stitch. After steam blocking, the finished square measures 6 inches x 6 inches, however, this project can be made larger or turned into an afghan by continuing the pattern repeats. Made in worsted weight yarn in two or more colors; 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook or size needed to obtain the gauge yarn needle for weaving in ends.
This splendid little crochet granny square is a perfect pattern to use in your next quilt or granny square afghan project!
From the blogger:"Here's another great new 6" granny square design! I just love granny squares and I knew I needed to make a few of my own. The Mingle Square measures 6" when using an H hook. This square would be great for shawls or lacy afghans! It's a simple, yet fun square; the dcs mingle nicely with clusters! This pattern calls for worsted weight yarn in any fiber of your choice! However, this could be worked up in any weight to change the finished measurement."
What could be more romantic than the French Provincial style? This free 12" afghan square crochet pattern is one of my most textured pieces to date--imagine flowers, vines, trellises, ornate framework on mirrors and table legs--oh my! Incorporating this square into an afghan or home decor project is guaranteed to take to the next level. Knowing how to work post stitches, clusters, shells, and popcorn stitches will make this project go much more smoothly, but the amount of color changes could still slow you down. Allow a bit of extra time to complete this project. You'll feel more relaxed and happy this way, which is the whole point of crochet!
It's one thing to tell someone special in your life how much they mean to you. But if you crochet, you can make sure that message gets across in a unique way when you create the With Love Crochet Granny Square. With a heart as the focal point of the design, this crochet granny square is a wonderful way to say "I love you." Just keep in mind this crochet pattern is at the intermediate level and is ideal for crocheters looking for a bit of a challenge. Although this project is a perfect crochet Valentine's Day pattern, you don't need to wait for February to make it.
Though a little time consuming, pixel art projects are so fun! I think I like most that it kind of resembles a quilt, but also that it uses my favorite join-as-you method - the Pull Loop Through Method! Makes for an easy join, and no worrying about how to assemble later - can't say I enjoy sewing squares together. BUT! If you do, you could always make the squares separately, and then use the mattress stitch (or your preferred technique) to join them later. WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH THIS SQUARE? It's the perfect size for a 16 throw pillow, use it as an afghan square, and build a blanket, add more squares all around to make a larger blanket, use it as a doily, attach it to a dowel rod, and hang it, use it as the star of the show for a sweater/top, even changing up the weight of yarn used will open doors!
