Squares for blankets: video master class
Squares are rightfully considered one of the most popular motifs in needlework. The demand for squares can be explained quite simply - they are extremely easy to manufacture, and are also convenient in terms of connecting square parts into a single piece.
Square motifs are among the basics of crocheting, so most often they are the starting point for getting acquainted with crocheting motifs. In addition, with the help of such a traditional motif, in the shortest possible time it will be possible to knit the most beautiful clothing models (women's and children's sweaters, ponchos, boleros, dresses and skirts), stylish accessories (hats, shawls, bags, belts), as well as all kinds of interior items ( blankets, bedspreads, pillowcases, potholders, rugs, flower pots and much more).
Crochet theory includes:
- a dense square, knitted with fabric without gaps using single stitches (RS) or s/n stitches (CSN);
- “granny square” is a motif knitted in different colors of threads using double crochets (C2H) and special twisted stitches, thanks to which it is possible to obtain a bright fabric with a simple openwork pattern;
- openwork square is a more complex, yet incredibly airy motif, widely used in knitting amazingly beautiful items of women's wardrobe (blouses, dresses, tunics).
The implementation of most square motifs is accessible even to novice needlewomen. We recommend mastering crocheted square motifs on the simplest dense square with b/n and s/n columns. In any case, the ability to knit a square will always come in handy, because with the help of such a motif you can create a wide variety of products.
In today’s material, we propose to learn how to knit several types of square motifs, as well as create ready-made knitted works from them.
Simple square motif with light openwork
Knitting progress
We start with a ring with 5 air loops (VP) and one lifting VP (VP). We knit in a circular manner.
Row No. 1: in a ring of VP - 8 tbsp. b/n, between which we knit along the 1st VP. The end of the row is a connection column (CC).
Row No. 2: 4 VP + 1 tbsp. s/n, we knit the entire row with rapports under the air loops of the base of the PR (previous row): 1 Dc + 1 VP + 1 Dc. SS.
Row No. 3: 3 VP + 3 SSN + 1 VP. We continue with rapports: 4 dc + 2 ch. SS.
Rows No. 4-5: perform art. s/n and air. loops according to the scheme proposed above. The corners of the square are formed by the following knitted combination: 3 Dc + 2 Ch + 3 Dc. The ending is SS, cut the thread and hide it inside the fabric.
Using this square motif, you can make all kinds of knitted products - from women's and children's clothing to interesting knitted accessories.
Knitted square with floral motif in the center
Knitting sequence
Using yellow yarn we make a chain of air. loops, closing the SS into the ring, add 1 runway, knit 8 sc inside the ring.
Row No. 2: in each PR stitch we knit 1 fluffy DC, between them - 2 VP. Using this knitted combination you will get 8 flower petals. SS. We cut the thread and hide it.
Row No. 3: using green yarn we make repeats to form the corners of the square: 3 hdc (half-column s/n) + 2 ch + 3 hdc, we get the first corner. Add 3 more hdcs (between the corners), then knit the 2nd, 3rd and 4th corners by analogy, not forgetting to knit 3 hdcs between the repeats. SS. We cut the thread and pull it inside the fabric.
Rows No. 4-5: take white yarn, raise 3 VPs, knit 1 dc in each PR loop, to form clear corners in two VP VPs, add 2 dc in each of them, 2 VPs between the increases. SS.
Row No. 6: we tie a square according to the arch pattern: 1 RLS + 3 VP.
The square with a floral motif is ready! Such an element will look great in a bedspread, blanket, or decorative pillowcase; moreover, it can be used to create original items of children's and women's clothing.
Knitting technique for an elaborate granny square
“Granny Square” is considered to be the simplest technique for knitting motifs, feasible even for novice needlewomen. However, professional craftswomen are constantly looking for new techniques for knitting square elements, offering us interesting patterns that require a lot of effort to knit!
The “granny square” offered in this master class looks very original - relief twisted columns with openwork petals in the arches do their job, giving the square motif true exclusivity.
Knitting sequence
First, we suggest you understand the knitting of twisted columns (hereinafter referred to as WS). To create one BC, you need to make 10 weak yarn overs on the base of the hook, insert it into the loop required according to the pattern, and grab the slave. thread and pull the formed loop through all the yarn overs on the hook. If suddenly it was not possible to pull the loop through all 10 yarn overs at once, you need to do this gradually, pulling the stitch through each yarn over in turn.
We start knitting from a chain ring of 4 VPs, connected with a SS.
Row No. 1: 1 runway, 11 sc in the ring, SS.
Row No. 2: gradual 4 increases to obtain 15 RLS in a row. Change the color of the thread.
Row No. 3: add a new color of yarn to any st. b/n PR, knit 3 runways, then rapport 16 times: BC in the next. p. + 1 VP. SS. We break the thread. In total we get 16 twisted columns.
Row No. 4: attach the yarn of the third color to the air. loop PR (between two BC), knit the first RLS. We go in a circle, performing rapports: “3 VP + sc in VP PR + 5 VP + sc in VP PR.” SS. We break the thread. As a result, we get eight arches of 3 and 5 VPs.
Row No. 5: change the color of the yarn again, attach the thread to the arch of 5 VPs, knit the 1st DC, a total of 9 DCs in the arch. We skip the arch of 3 VPs, we knit 9 DC into the arch of 5 VPs, and we knit this way until the end of the row. SS. In total we get 8 petals of 9 dc each.
Row No. 6: join yarn of a new (repeating) color between the petals, knit sc. Repeat until the end of the row. rapports: we pass a chain of 6 VPs behind the petal of 9 DCs, we attach a SS to the chain of 3 VPs of row No. 4, we pass a chain of 6 VPs behind the trace. petal from 9 dc, attach a dc between the next. petals. As a result, a square of 8 chains of VP is formed on the reverse side of the canvas.
Row No. 7: repeat repeats in a circle: 6 RLS in a chain of 6 VPs + 6 RLS in the next row. chain of 6 VP + 3 VP to form an angle. SS.
Row No. 8: 3 runways, 1st dc in each st. PR in a circle until the end of the row. Don't forget to knit a trace at the corners. combinations of loops: 3 CCH + 2 VP + 3 CCH. We break the thread and hide it.
Row No. 9: change the color of the yarn, join the thread in the 1st loop to the left of any corner using a sl st. We knit a SS in each paragraph of the PR to each corner of the work. Repeats 2 times: SS to the corner of the work, C4H (dc) in a chain of three VPs of the 4th row, SS to the corner of the work, SS to the end of the side of the square to the corner. Repeat in the round until the end of the row. SS. We cut off the thread.
Row No. 10: change the color of the yarn, join the thread in a half-stitch in a convenient corner between 2 C4H, add 2VP and another PS to the same loop. Throughout the entire square, with the exception of the corners, we knit RLS, in the corners – PS + 2 VP + PS. We repeat this until the end of the row. SS. We cut off the thread.
Row No. 11: change the color of the yarn, attach a sc thread to any corner of the square. We knit a sc throughout the square, and 3 sc in the corners. The end of the row is SS.
The bright “granny square” is ready!
Simple square motif for beginners: technique for creating a knitted blanket
What could be better than a hand-knitted blanket, which is nice to wrap yourself in on a cold winter evening? A blanket knitted from square motifs is the simplest pattern, ideal for beginners in knitting. Any needlewoman who has mastered basic crocheting skills can make such a cozy little thing in a few evenings. Try it, you will get an original blanket in “grandmother’s” style!
We recommend that you carefully choose the type of yarn - the thread should be of medium thickness or thick, preferably with a mixture of wool, this is the only way to get the warmest, most cozy blanket. We advise you to diversify the squares with bright centers; the remnants of multi-colored yarn left over from other knitting are suitable for this. For a medium-sized blanket you need to knit about 54-60 squares. We suggest you start soon!
To get the first row, we start with a chain of VP or a self-tightening “magic ring”.
We knit 12 C2H into a connected circle.
We change the color of the thread, knit 6 C2H evenly in four places of the circle, thus forming a square shape.
We knit the next row by alternating 6 C2H and 6 CCH.
We perform the last row in the same way.
The first square is ready. We follow the same principle to complete the required number of squares.
As soon as you have 54-60 squares, you can start assembling the product. The squares are connected to each other quite easily; to do this, you need to crochet the air. loops, grabbing them as shown in the photo below:
We emphasize that the square elements of the blanket should be folded along the front side.
As a result, we get a solid canvas of square motifs:
The final stage of work is tying the blanket with a border.
The border gives the canvas a finished, aesthetically beautiful look.
The openwork edging must be knitted in a circle around the entire perimeter of the free edges of the blanket according to the pattern:
Row No. 1: RLS.
Row No. 2: C2H through the loop + one air at a time. loop between the posts.
Row #3: C2H in each stitch.
Row No. 4: we knit scallops using combinations: 5 RLS + 12 C2H in the 3rd loop. The upper corners of the scallops can be decorated with tassels made of multi-colored yarn. The colorful blanket is ready!
Various crochet patterns for square motifs
Crocheting not only calms your nerves, but also allows you to acquire beautiful things of your own making. Needlewomen skillfully weave threads and get real designer items. Knitted wardrobe items have always looked attractive. Women from the people and royalty dressed in clothes made from openwork motifs. New patterns are regularly invented, which become more complex and complemented by yarn overs and air loops. But the diagram of such an element is presented in the article below.

Square crochet motifs with patterns are presented in our article. They come in varying complexity. Of course, on the one hand, things from motives are easy to make. But there is also a second side to this needlework. You need to knit dozens of squares to create a real masterpiece. Needlewomen love to knit a square pattern that can be of any complexity. During such creativity, all leftover yarn is used. The color scheme can be very diverse. It all depends on the person's preferences. In yarn stores you will find many colors and shades. The size of the motifs will depend on the thickness of the thread and the hook number.
It usually takes quite a bit of time to crochet square motifs. Diagrams and sequence descriptions describe each step in detail. Any square begins with a set of chains of air loops. After which they close in a circle. Next, use columns with different numbers of crochets.
Square motifs with a simple pattern
Let's look at a simple square crochet motif. The scheme is easy to decipher. In the picture you see that you need to start knitting with a ring. It is knitted from eight chain stitches. Next, the circle is tied with single crochets. In order for the square to have a proportional shape, each row must begin with a lifting loop. The third row consists of alternating a double crochet stitch with five chain stitches.
From the fourth row the flower petals will form. Each leaf is knitted from a set of stitches: one half stitch, one double crochet, chain stitch, two double crochets, one single crochet and one half double crochet. Each petal is closed with a single crochet. It turns out to be an obvious flower. Now the motif must be enclosed in a square. To do this, we collect seven air loops from the top of one petal and connect them to the new top of the other petal using a single crochet. The corner parts require nine air loops. We tie the resulting row with single crochets. The next one is done in the same way. We knit the last row, alternating a single crochet stitch and one chain stitch.
Motifs with complex patterns
Of course, beautiful square crochet motifs look more impressive. The circuits of such elements are more complex. Take your time to complete such patterns. You need to start with the simplest ones.

However, the granny square has always been crocheted and crocheted, and today I will offer you a pattern and description of its crocheting for beginners, tell you how to combine motifs from the granny square, as well as ideas for using it.
I'll start with ideas. Maybe after seeing these photos you will want to knit one of the models.
Crochet granny square: models
I was wondering why the granny square pattern is called that, but I couldn’t find the answer. My opinion is that our grandmothers have been knitting this pattern since ancient times, and this motif is very simple, you can start learning to crochet with it.
You can knit anything from it! These can be any products: bags, wallets, dresses, sundresses, skirts, cardigans, tops, shawls, ponchos, scarves, gloves, and other clothes, even clothes for animals.
I made a selection of many ideas for bags from a granny square in the video:
Now in many cities, objects on the streets and in parks are dressed up in knitted clothes, and our favorite motif is very suitable for these occasions.
Granny's square crochet is also used for knitting home comfort items. When I was preparing the material and analyzing what readers most often search for on the Internet, it turned out that needlewomen are more interested in blankets.
But you can also knit from granny squares:
- pillows on the sofa
- floor mats and chairs
- covers for armrests of sofas and armchairs
- napkins and panels
- baskets
- and much more.
And the knitted curtain made from granny squares especially fascinated me.
Now we will talk about how to knit a granny square, and below I will give more variants of models in different colors.
Grandmother's square: diagram, description and video master class for beginners
The classic crochet granny square, the pattern of which is in front of you, is crocheted in the round, starting from the center. I'll try to make a description step by step, i.e. in rows.
We cast on 6 loops of the chain and close it in a circle with a connecting post.
1st row: 3 chain stitches for lifting, 2 single crochet stitches, 2 ch, 3 single crochet stitches, repeat 2 more times, at the end of 2 ch, connect to the beginning of the row.
2nd row: using connecting posts we stretch the thread to the arch from the VP; 3VP for lifting, 2С1Н, 2 VP and 3 С1Н in the same arch. And so in each next arch there are two groups of 3 double crochets and 2 VPs between them.
3rd and subsequent rows: in the corners we knit similarly to row 2, and on the sides of the square 3 C1H, crocheting between the same groups of columns of the previous row.
In this way, you can knit as many rows as you like to the desired size of the motif. You can also knit a giant granny square.
How to tie a granny square
In the last row, to obtain an even, tight row, you can knit single crochet stitches over all the loops of the previous row or tie the motif with single crochet stitches. Or you may not need to do this, depending on the pattern that we will knit.
Grandmother's Square - video
On my channel I talked about a pillow knitted with this pattern and made a video master class for beginners on how to crochet a granny square step by step:
Very often, multi-colored granny squares are crocheted, changing the color of the yarn when knitting the next row or even in the same row. In this case, it is important to correctly make the transition from knitting one color to another: at the end of the row, when knitting the last column, the last two loops on the hook are knitted in a new color. You can find out more about this .
Compound
Connecting granny squares crochet can be done as follows: you need to fold two motifs with each other facing inward, and then connect them using a hook with connecting posts. In this case, the hook must be inserted under the back walls of the loops of both motifs.
To obtain a beautiful hem in some models of blankets and pillows, the motifs are connected from the front side. In this case, the hook can be inserted under the back walls of the loop, and under both walls, and connected either with single crochets or connecting stitches.
There is also an openwork method of joining, which produces a knitted fabric without visible seams, as if everything is connected entirely by one pattern.
I found an interesting detailed master class on combining motifs, you can watch it.
Non-square granny square
I told you how to knit a classic granny square (square). But in this way you can knit a triangular motif, a hexagonal one, and a circle.
Despite the fact that these are no longer square motifs, they still say that they are connected by a grandmother’s square. There is simply one knitting principle here, namely: the stitches are knitted, always inserting a hook into the gap or air loops between the stitches of the previous row.
If you are interested in hexagonal motifs, we have a gorgeous photo of different things made from hexagons.
Just look at the beauty that can be knitted using this last pattern:

Grandmother's Square in Spanish
This motif is also called grandmother's square in a new way. It seems to be knitted similarly, but additional broaches are introduced: yarn over, then the hook is inserted a row below and knitted like a double crochet. It turns out such an interesting beautiful effect.
