You can knit a lot - a dress, a jacket, a blanket, or just a rug for the hallway. There are patterns great amount, crochet patterns with square motifs are also popular. They are used in clothing, decorative elements and household products. For those who are just starting out or have already completed the first stage, below are master classes on how to crochet motifs.

The advantage of the pattern is its ease of manufacture, because you need to make a large number of individual parts, which then need to be combined into something whole. Any leftover yarn is also suitable for this project. Knitting from motifs is notable for the fact that it is used in very different areas: these can be models of clothing and accessories - a jacket, tunic, bag or vest. A cardigan looks especially beautiful in such patterns. The interior, which contains knitted square fragments, also becomes more comfortable:

bedspreads;
blankets;
napkins;
tablecloths;
covers for a sofa or chair;
lampshades for lamps and much more.

Crochet motifs with diagrams and descriptions

To crochet square motifs, you can use the most different schemes, but for beginning needlewomen it is better to study simpler ones - this makes it easier to move from napkins and tablecloths to creating elements of a wardrobe and everyday life. It is recommended to take the main knitting tool under numbers 3, 3.5 and 4. The choice of thread depends directly on the future product. If you are just practicing knitting squares, then use the leftovers that you have. In other cases, it is worth following recommendations on the type of thread for a particular product, be it a blanket, tablecloth or dress.

For most napkins and tablecloths, openwork squares are used: they turn out thinner and more elegant. It is recommended to use mercerized cotton yarn for such products. You can take, for example, “Lily” threads with a density of 392 per 100 g. It is better to prepare a knitting tool under number 2. Step by step process creating a square is as follows:

Cast on 10 air loops (VP, vp) for the initial ring.
Go up 3 ch, then knit 27 double crochets (dc, dc, dc), and at the end - 1 connecting stitch.
In the next circular step, make 4 cycles of 6 single crochets (sc, sc, sc) and 4 arches of 10 ch.
Next, tie the resulting arches with columns like this: 2 without throwing a thread, picot from 3 ch, and then three times a complex of 2 dc + picot, again 2 dc. Between the elements, make 4 single crochets.
Find the stage in the diagram that is indicated in red; to knit it, make arches of 7 and 8 vp. Attach them to the picot using a single crochet. Knit them in the spaces between the elements.
Next comes circle 5, which is the most difficult. The sequence of knitting the square element itself is as follows:

Tie the first arch like this - 1 dc, 1 double crochet (dc), 6 dc, picot of 3 ch, 2 dc.
On the second arch, alternate 5 dc and picot 5 times, and at the end make another 2 dc.
Knit the third arch according to the principle of the first, just arrange the indicated elements in the reverse order to get a mirror image.

This is one petal. To move to the second, tie 1 s.b.n., and make the element itself like this:

Repeat step 1 for the first petal, only insert 4 chain points between the picots and the stitches. Attach them with 1 s.b.n. to the 5th column of the first petal.
Turn the work over, tie a chain of chain stitches like this - 4 times 3 vp each. + 2 s.b.n., after which 3 v.p. and 1 connecting.
Next, tie the second petal, like the first, starting from the 2nd arch.

After this stage, the instructions include the following steps:

Complete the third petal according to the principle of the second, also making a “bridge” according to the previous instructions.
Tie the fourth petal using the technology of the first. Before tying the 3rd arch, make a “bridge”.

Crochet flower square from center

Beginning craftswomen will also be able to crochet floral square motifs: here there is a round element inside. It is presented in the shape of a flower. Crocheting motifs here includes the following steps:

From green yarn, cast on 6 VPs, close them with a ring, inside which make 16 VPs.
Insert a pink thread, knit a V-cluster under each column, which consists of 1 chain loop between 2 double crochets. Finish with a connecting loop.
Change the color of the thread to red and perform 3 VPs inside each column.
Using blue yarn, knit the following cycle 4 times - 1 sc under the arch between 3 columns of 3 rows, 3 ch. Next, also in the gap, make 1 sc, 7 ch and again 1 sc. Do both complexes three times to get 4 improvised corners, as seen in the photo.
Then complete this cycle – 1 ch to the end. between 2 s.b.n., 1 v.p. between 4 s.s.n. for the complex 3 v.p., 1 s.b.n., 6 s.s.n. under a large loop, 2 ch, 6 d.c.
Knit 1 more circle with air loops, securing the chain with a post without throwing thread under the arches between the columns of the previous row.
On the last circle, tie the edges of the square with columns, while throwing a thread.

Large square crochet motif

Large parts are used to create a blanket, because such a product may require too many of them. Crochet motifs big size can be done like this:

Make a ring of 6 VPs, inside which repeat the cycle 3 DC + 2 VPs 4 times.
Next, under the corner arches, knit a complex of 3 dc, 2 ch and 3 dc. On straight sections between them, do 1 VP.
Repeat the same at the corners of each row. On straight sections, perform 3 dc under 1 ch of the last row and 1 ch to separate them from the next columns. It turns out that there will always be 3 CCHs above the air loop, and vice versa.
Knit this way until the 5th row, then perform 1 circle of sc and dc.
Next, knit 4 circular stages again according to the principle of the first 5.
Again repeat the complex of 2 rows of sc and dc.
Then knit the circle by alternating columns without casts and air loops, after which just columns again, this time adding an additional thread.
Return to the main knitting again, making 2 rows.
Make 2 rows of sketched columns, complete the square with the standard pattern from step 3.

Combination of square motifs

If you have finished practicing crocheting squares, then learn how to crochet motifs. The operation of creating a whole product from individual parts can be carried out using:

columns without throwing a thread, when the squares are folded with the front side inward and tied by inserting a tool under the back walls;
half-columns, or connecting columns, when the yarn is grabbed and pulled directly through the chain and loop on the tool;
openwork bundles, for example, picot;
sewing needle, which is the easiest, but also less attractive.

And today I’ll tell you how I selected square motifs for it, and at the same time I’ll give patterns and descriptions of knitting openwork squares.

This square was the first one I knitted. Children's new yarn (100% high-volume acrylic, 200m/50g), hook No. 2.5.

Diagram and description:

Detailed photo master classes on crocheting each square, I think, are not needed here. But I will give a verbal description for those who find it difficult to read diagrams.

Instead of the first stitches in the row, we knit a VP rise: 1 VP - instead of a double stitch, 3 VP - instead of a double stitch. We end each row with a connecting column.

1 rub. We dial 6 VP (air loops);

2 r. 1 VP rise and 11 single crochets (st.b/n);

3 r. 3 VP lifts and 1 double crochet (dc) in the same loop, then 2 double crochets in each st. previous row;

4 rub. 3 VP lifting and another 2 treble s/n with a common top, 7 VP, 3 treble s/n with a common top, 7 VP, etc.;

6 rub. Connect columns to the middle of the arch, * 3 treble s/n, 3 VP, 3 treble s/n in the central loop of the arch, 4 VP, 3 treble s/n, 9 VP, 3 treble s/n in the central arch loop, 4 VP*, repeat from * to * 3 more times;

7 rub. (3 treble s/n, 2 VP, 1 treble s/n, 2 VP, 3 treble s/n), (3 treble s/n with a common top, 2 VP, * 1 treble s/n , 2 VP* repeat 4 times, 3 treble s/n with a common top).Next, alternate the first brackets () and the second;

8 rub. (3 tbsp. s/n with a common top, 6 VP, 4 tbsp. b/n, 3 tbsp. s/n with a common top), (4 tbsp. s/n, pico from 5 VP, 5 tbsp. s/n, 9 VP, 5 tbsp s/n, pico from 5 VP, 4 tbsp s/n). Next, alternate the first brackets () and the second.

The square motif turned out beautiful, but I wanted more “holeiness” for the knitted pillowcase. And I tried knitting according to the following pattern.

Scheme No. 2 of the square crochet motif:

Description:

We collect 5 VP,

1st row: alternate 1 treble s/n and 2 VP.

2nd row: we knit 1 tbsp in the treble s/n of the 1st row and 3 tbsp in the arches of 2 VPs.

3rd row: alternate 1 treble s/n and 5 VP.

4th row: 1 st.b/n in the st.previous row, in each arch we knit (1 half-st.s.s/n, 1 tbsp.s/n, 3 tbsp.2/n, 1 tbsp.s/n, 1 semi-central s/n). We knit the leaves in the corners like this: 1 st.b/n in st.b/n, 7 VP, and in this chain of 7 VPs we knit 1 tbsp.b/n, 1 tbsp.s/n, 2 st.2 /n, 1 tbsp.s/n, 1 tbsp.b/n.

5th row: connecting columns to the top, then 1 treble s/n, 7 VP, 1 treble s/n, 7 VP, 1 treble s/n, 8 VP, etc. (the diagram shows the number of VPs).

6th row: knit 7 tbsp in arches of 7 VPs, 8 tbsp in arches of 8 VPs, 1 tbsp between them in the column of the previous row , and in 4 corners - 3 tbsp in 1 loop.

7th row: almost the same as the 6th row, only picots are added in the places marked with triangles in the diagram (I did not knit picots, but simply 3 VP).

8th row: arches of 8 VP and st.b/n between them.

9th row: in each arch: 4 tbsp, picot, 3 tbsp, picot, 3 tbsp, picot, 4 tbsp.

I attached ready-made square crochet motifs to the pillow and realized that I had neither the time nor the desire to knit 18 such squares (9 on each side) :) I started looking for another scheme...

and found it! Here all the stitches are knitted with 2 yarn overs, so the size of the motif is almost 2 times larger than the previous ones. Just right for my pillow!

By the way, the side length of the first two square motifs is 12.5 and 13 cm. And the third is 23 cm.

I knitted the pillow, and now I’m thinking of knitting something else (when I do it, I’ll show you :)

And I began to knit square motifs from thinner “Chamomile” yarn (100% mercerized cotton, 330 m, 75 g) with a No. 1.5 crochet hook.

Scheme of square motif No. 3

Description for the diagram:

Dial 10 VP, close it in a ring.

1 row. Tie 20 tbsp into a ring.

2nd row. We knit 4 arches from 9 VP and st.b/n between them.

3rd row. In each arch: 1 treble, 1 half-st., 11 treble, 1 half-st., 1 treble.

4-5 rows - arches of 5 VPs and st.b/n between them. Instead of the last arch in the row, knit 2 VP and 1 treble.

6th row. The arches are made of 5 VPs, and in the 4 corners - from 9 VPs.

7th row. The arches are made of 5 VP, and the corner arches are tied: 8 treble s/n, 5 VP, 8 treble s/n.

The result is a Square with a side equal to 9 cm.

Squares for blankets: video master class

If you have already mastered the basics of knitting, but don’t know where to start your creative journey, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the patterns of openwork crochet squares. Motives square shape The most common ones, because they are quite simple to perform. And by combining such details, you can create a real masterpiece.

The origins of handicraft

If the ancient Romans knew about knitting, then the crochet hook began to appear as a creative tool in the 19th century.

This type of needlework originated in Europe, during industrialization. Needlewomen who use knitting needles and crochet know that the second type of knitting requires significantly large quantity threads How openwork pattern, the greater the material consumption. This is what slowed down the development of crochet. The Industrial Revolution made it possible to mechanize cotton processing processes and significantly reduce the cost of thread.

Crochet has become very popular. Needlewomen complicated the patterns, borrowing them from other types of creativity - weaving and embroidery. The finest lace took a lot of time to make, so it was highly valued. This type of needlework has gained great love, because learning to crochet is much easier. A large number of patterns and motifs allows you to create unique handmade things and crafts.

Grandmother's square

One of the simplest and most common square motifs is granny square.

Yours unusual name he received it due to the fact that mainly elderly peasant women were engaged in home improvement. They could no longer do hard work, but such painstaking work was quite within their capabilities. The “multi-color” of the motif is explained by the fact that during the war years it was difficult to get material for knitting and it was taken from old things. Each piece of thread went into action, creating a unique canvas.

They used granny squares to decorate their home. They were combined into a large canvas to create capes, blankets, pillowcases and garments.

It also fits perfectly into modern fashion; it was chosen by clothing designers and fashion designers. They create unique items that show that the granny square is unlikely to ever go out of style.

Step-by-step execution

We are offering to you detailed master class to create a granny square motif. It is so easy to perform that even a novice master can do it.

To work you will need:

Multi-colored wool or cotton threads of the same thickness;
Hook corresponding to the number.

Most yarn manufacturers specify what number of knitting needles or hook to use for the project.

Knitting the motif should begin with a ring of four air loops.

To complete the second row you need to knit three air loops rise. Next, in the center of the ring, knit: two double crochets, one chain stitch, three double crochets, a chain loop. Knit 3 stitches and a loop twice more. The result will be a part that can hardly be called a square.

Fasten the thread and change the color of the yarn. Perform a lift of three air loops. This row is knitted into arches from the air loop of the previous row. In the first arch, knit 2 double crochets and a chain stitch, then three stitches and a chain stitch. Let's move on to the second arch. Knit 3 stitches and an air loop into it twice. Repeat filling the arches until the end of the row.

The third row is knitted similarly. The only difference is that 3 double crochets, an air loop and three double crochets are knitted into the corner arches. And only three double crochets are knitted into the central arches. The step-by-step process of filling the arches can be seen in the photo.

The end result is this:

The number of rows may vary. They are made in the same way: two bundles of three stitches are knitted into the corners, between which there is an air loop (or several loops), and one bundle of three double crochets is knitted into the remaining arches. More details can be seen in the diagram of a multi-row granny square.

You can create various things from it:

Connection of motives

You can connect the squares together by simply sewing them together. Or use a hook connection. There are variations here.

You can make a connection using half-columns. To do this, combine two squares and insert the hook behind external sides loops as shown in the diagram.

Another option involves not just combining motifs, but also expanding the canvas. Prepare the required number of squares.

Fasten the thread to the corner of the first motif, make 3 lifting air loops.

Add 3 chain stitches and 2 double crochets to the corner of the second square.

Let's move on to the first motive. Knit three double crochets into the arch.

Continue knitting until the end of both squares.

First, connect the motifs into stripes.

Then, assemble the strips in the same way into a single canvas of the size you need.

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 the indicated square motif, you can make all kinds of knitted products– from women's and children's clothing to interesting knitted accessories.

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 knitting motifs, feasible even for beginner 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. repeats: we pass a chain of 6 VPs behind the petal of 9 SSNs, 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 wrong 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? Blanket knitted from square motifs – simplest model, ideal for those new to 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 a 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!
