Here is a step-by-step crochet tutorial for making the square shown in your image.
This design is called a twisted two-color block square β made from 4 triangle pieces joined while working.
π§΅ DETAILED CROCHET PATTERN (Step-by-Step)
(US crochet terms)

πΏ PART 1 β MAKE 1 TRIANGLE
You will make 4 triangles total:
β’ 2 green
β’ 2 white
Each triangle is made from the center outward, like a pie slice.
πΊ Triangle Pattern (make 4)
Row 0 (foundation):
Ch 4, sl st to form ring.
Row 1:
- Ch 3 (counts as dc)
- 5 dc into ring β 6 dc total
- Turn.
Stitch count: 6

Row 2:
- Ch 3
- Inc: dc in same stitch
- dc in next 4 stitches
- Inc: 2 dc in last stitch
- Turn.
Stitch count: 8
Row 3:
- Ch 3
- Inc: dc in same stitch
- dc in next 6 stitches
- Inc: dc + dc in last stitch
- Turn.
Stitch count: 10
Row 4:
- Ch 3
- Inc
- dc in next 8 stitches
- Inc
- Turn.
Stitch count: 12
Row 5:
- Ch 3
- Inc
- dc across
- Inc
- Turn.
Stitch count: 14

Row 6:
Same as before.
Stitch count: 16
Cut yarn.
You should have a triangle with a long straight side and a pointed tip.
π§΅ PART 2 β MAKE COLOR SETS
Make:
β 2 green triangles
β 2 white triangles
β¨ PART 3 β ASSEMBLE THE 4 TRIANGLES
This is the important part to get the twisted shape.
Lay them like this:
Green White
White Green
But rotate each triangle slightly so the long edge sits diagonally.
This creates the βpinwheel twistβ effect from the photo.
π PART 4 β JOIN TRIANGLES (very detailed)
You will join along the long sides.
Use whip stitch OR single crochet.
Steps:
- Join top green β top-right white
- Join top-right white β bottom-right green
- Join bottom-right green β bottom-left white
- Join bottom-left white β top green
Now the center will look like a twisted pinwheel shape.
π© PART 5 β SQUARE BORDER (makes shape perfect)
Work around the whole piece.
Attach yarn (I recommend green):
Round 1 (evening round):
Do this slowly:
- Work 1 dc in each stitch across straight edges
- When you reach a point where 2 triangles meet, insert hook into BOTH triangle edges
- When you reach a corner:
(dc, ch 2, dc) - Continue around
- Sl st to join
Your square now becomes perfectly sharp and even, like the finished photo.

πͺ’ PART 6 β OPTIONAL OUTER ROUND (if you want a cleaner edge)
- Ch 1
- Work sc in each stitch
- (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner
- Join
Now you have a professional-looking finished block.
π§Ά JOINING MANY SQUARES (like the blanket in the right photo)
Arrange each square with alternating rotations:
A B A B
B A B A
A B A B
B A B A
Join with:
- slip stitch join (flat)
- or single crochet join (raised)
- or whip stitch (nearly invisible)
This will create the exact repeating geometric pattern shown in the image.
