You’re working with a beautiful crochet square motif that uses a combination of overlay or surface crochet and color-blocking techniques to create a vibrant, segmented look. Here’s how you can recreate this four-color crochet square motif step-by-step:
🧶 Materials Needed
- 4 contrasting colors of worsted or DK yarn
- 1 base color (white in the image)
- Crochet hook (typically 3.5mm–4.5mm depending on your yarn)
- Scissors, yarn needle
🪢 Step-by-Step Crochet Square Motif Pattern
🔹 1. Center Circle (Magic Ring)
- Start with a magic ring.
- Work 12 double crochets (dc) into the ring.
- Slip stitch (sl st) to join the round. This forms your flower-like center.
🔹 2. Petal Formation
- In the next round, alternate between ch 1, dc cluster, ch 1 in each dc from the previous round.
- The petals are worked with cluster stitches (2 or 3 dc together).
- Use white yarn here.
🔹 3. Segmented Color Quadrants
Each quarter of the square is made individually with different colors:
- Attach color yarn to one quadrant corner.
- Use long double crochet (LDC) or front post stitches to stretch over the white base.
- Work these stitches diagonally outward from the center. You’re basically creating colorful “spokes” from the center out in each quarter section.
- Repeat this in all 4 quadrants using different colors (e.g., green, yellow, blue, red).
🔹 4. Square It Off
- In the outermost round, work regular dc or sc in white to unify the motif.
- Add corner increases (e.g., 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) to maintain the square shape.
✨ Optional Finishing
- Block your square to keep the shape even.
- Seam together multiple motifs to create a blanket, bag, or pillow cover.
