How to Make Square Crochet Motif Pattern

These beautiful crochet square motifs! Let’s break it down step by step. Based on your image, it looks like an intermediate-level crochet motif. I’ll write a basic pattern outline that you can follow. You’ll need a hook and yarn similar to what’s in your image (fine cotton yarn and a 2.5–3 mm hook would work great).

🧶 How to Make This Square Crochet Motif

📦 Materials:

  • Cotton yarn (size 5 crochet thread or similar)
  • Crochet hook size 2.5 mm or as suitable for your yarn
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle for weaving in ends

📖 Abbreviations (US terms)

  • ch = chain
  • sc = single crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • tr = treble crochet
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • sp = space
  • st = stitch

🌸 Pattern Instructions:

1️⃣ Center Ring:

  • Ch 8, join with sl st to form a ring.

2️⃣ Petals (repeat 4 times around the ring):

  • Ch 8, dc into the ring, ch 8, sl st into the ring. (this forms one petal loop)
  • Repeat this 3 more times (total of 4 petals).

3️⃣ Filling Petals:

  • Into each petal loop:
    • Ch 3 (counts as dc), then work:
    • 5 dc, 5 ch, 5 dc into the loop.
    • Sl st into the ring to finish the petal.
  • Repeat for all 4 petals.

4️⃣ Framework (joining the petals and shaping square):

  • Ch 7, sl st into side of petal (around 3rd dc of petal’s side).
  • Ch 5, sl st into next petal’s side.
  • Repeat to create a ch-7 and ch-5 framework around all petals.

5️⃣ Edge and Corner Points:

  • Into each ch-7 space:
    • Work 7 sc.
  • Into each ch-5 space:
    • Work (sc, ch 3, sc) (this creates the corner picot point).

6️⃣ Joining Motifs:

  • As you complete the edging of one motif, use slip stitches to join the ch-3 picot of one motif to the corresponding picot of the next motif where you want to connect.

📌 Finishing:

  • Fasten off and weave in all loose ends with a yarn needle.
  • Block your motifs to set them flat and even.

🧵 Pro Tips:

  • You can make these in any color or use a gradient yarn for a cool effect.
  • Adjust the petal length by adding or removing chains.
  • Join as-you-go or later using slip stitches.
