Here is a step-by-step tutorial to make the crochet square pattern you showed.
This design uses tapestry crochet / mosaic crochet style with color-changes to create the white diamond motif on a purple background.
🧶 DETAILED STEP-BY-STEP PATTERN
Stitches used
- ch = chain
- sl st = slip stitch
- dc = double crochet
- sc = single crochet (only for finishing optional)
- ( … ) = repeat inside parentheses
⭐ ROUND 1 – Center Flower (WHITE / B)
- Magic ring
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc)
- Make 11 dc into ring → 12 dc total
- Pull tight, sl st to join
⭐ ROUND 2 – Expand White Center
Still White (B):
- Ch 3
- (2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next st) repeat around
→ total 18 dc - Sl st
This creates the small 6-sided white center you see.
⭐ ROUND 3 – Switch to Purple
Start Purple (A):
- Attach yarn A
- Ch 3
- dc in each stitch around → 18 dc
- Sl st
⭐ ROUND 4 – Begin Diamond Colorwork
This round begins the motif.
Repeat for each side:
Pattern for 1 side:
- 5 Purple dc
- Change to White: 3 White dc
- Change back to Purple
Full round:
- Ch 3 (Purple)
- (Purple 5 dc, White 3 dc) × 4
- Sl st with purple
You will see the diamond starting to grow.
⭐ ROUND 5 – Grow Diamond
White sections get bigger.
Pattern for 1 side:
- Purple 4
- White 5
- Purple 4
Full round:
- Ch 3
- (A 4 dc, B 5 dc, A 4 dc) × 4
- Sl st with Purple
Now the diamond looks sharp and points outward.
⭐ ROUND 6 – Begin Squaring the Shape
Continue tapestry style:
Pattern for 1 side:
- Purple 3
- White 7
- Purple 3
Then add 1 corner:
- (dc, ch 2, dc) in the next Purple stitch
Repeat all 4 sides.
Full round:
- Ch 3
- (A 3 dc, B 7 dc, A 3 dc, [A dc, ch 2, A dc]) × 4
- Sl st
Now it starts turning into a square.
⭐ ROUND 7 – Square Expansion + Small White Sprinkles
White motif shrinks inward now.
Pattern for 1 side:
- Purple 5
- White 3
- Purple 5
Add corners:
- (dc, ch 2, dc)
Full round:
- Ch 3
- (A 5 dc, B 3 dc, A 5 dc, [A dc, ch 2, A dc]) × 4
- Sl st
You now get the small white side decorations.
⭐ ROUND 8 – Last Colorwork
Final white sprinkles as in picture.
Pattern per side:
- Purple 6
- White 1
- Purple 7
- White 1
- Purple 6
Corner:
- (dc, ch 2, dc)
Full round:
- Ch 3
- (A 6 dc, B 1 dc, A 7 dc, B 1 dc, A 6 dc, [A dc, ch 2, A dc]) × 4
- Sl st
These single white stitches replicate the tiny white accents.
⭐ ROUND 9 – Final Purple Round
All purple:
- Ch 3
- dc in every stitch
- (dc, ch 2, dc) in each corner
- Sl st
This cleans the edges and makes the square neat.
⭐ OPTIONAL ROUND 10 – Border (Purple)
You may add:
- 1 round single crochet around the square
- sc, ch 1, sc in each corner
This helps with blocking and sewing.
🌟 Finished!
You now have the exact square motif from the picture.
Colorwork creates the central white diamond and the scattered small white patterns on the outside.
