This is a lovely and clear crochet pattern for a beautiful plaid-style blanket with crochet square dots! If you’re interested in making a cosy and colourful granny square blanket, the instructions provided offer a simple step-by-step method.
Materials Needed:
- Yarn: Any yarn can be used, but Medium/DK weight is recommended.
- Crochet Hook: Any size works, but the example uses a 5.5mm (I) hook.
- Scissors
- Stitch Markers
Pattern Instructions:
Starting the Square (Row 1):
- Begin with a magic circle or your preferred method to start a square.
- Chain (CH) 3 (counts as the first double crochet (DC)).
- Work 2 DC into the centre of the circle.
- CH 2 (this forms a corner).
- 3 DC into the circle, CH 2 – repeat this step three more times.
- Slip stitch (SL ST) into the first DC to close the round.
You should now have a small square with four groups of 3 DC stitches and four CH-2 corners.
Building the Square (Row 2):
- Start in any corner space.
- CH 3 (counts as first DC), work 2 DC into the same corner space.
- CH 3 (this forms a new corner), then work 3 DC into the same corner space.
- CH 1, skip 3 stitches, 3 DC into the next open space, CH 1, skip 3 stitches, (3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC) into the next corner space.
- Repeat from * to complete the row.
- SL ST to join at the first CH 3 made in the row.
Repeating the Pattern (Row 3 onwards):
- Start in any corner space again.
- CH 3, work 2 DC, CH 3, and 3 DC into the same corner.
- CH 1 to skip over any block of 3 DC, then 3 DC into any open space.
- The corners always follow the same pattern: (3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC).
- Continue this pattern, repeating Row 3 for as many rows as needed.
The size of the square depends on how many rows you add. The example uses 19 rows per square.
Finishing the Blanket:
- Make four squares (or as many as needed for your desired blanket size).
- Join the squares using the Join As You Go method or another joining technique.
- Add a border if desired to create a neat and polished look.
This project is perfect for crochet enthusiasts who enjoy working with colours and different stitch combinations. The step-by-step approach makes it accessible for beginners while still offering a rewarding outcome for experienced crocheters.
