✳️ Lace Square Motif Crochet Pattern
🔹 Round 1 – Center Circle
- Start with a magic ring (or ch 4 and sl st to form ring).
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), work 15 dc into the ring.
- Join with sl st to top of ch-3. (16 dc)
🔹 Round 2 – Eyelet Loops
- Ch 4, skip 1 dc, sc in next dc.
- Repeat ch 4, skip 1 dc, sc around. You’ll end up with 8 chain-4 loops.
- Sl st into the first ch-4 loop to start next round.
🔹 Round 3 – Petals
In each ch-4 loop:
- (Sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) – this forms a rounded petal.
- Repeat in all 8 loops.
- Join with sl st to first sc.
🔹 Round 4 – Square Shaping
Now we transform the round motif into a square:
- Sl st to the top of first dc in a petal.
- In the center of 1st petal:
- (Sc, hdc, dc, ch 3, dc, hdc, sc) – this creates a corner.
- In next 3 petals:
- (sc, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sc) – these are sides.
- Repeat pattern: corner, side, side, side – 4 times total.
- Join with sl st to first sc.
🔹 Round 5 – Border
To solidify the square:
- Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in each st around.
- In each corner ch-3 sp: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc).
- Sl st to join.
🔹 Round 6 – Optional Lacy Edging
Add detail:
- (Ch 3, skip 1 dc, sc in next) around sides.
- In corners: (ch 3, sc in corner sp, ch 3) to preserve corner space.
🔗 Joining Squares
You can:
- Use Whip stitch (sew with a tapestry needle)
- Or Join-As-You-Go:
- In final round, slip stitch into matching spaces on the adjacent motif.
🧵 Finishing Tip
- Block your motifs lightly with steam to flatten and shape.
- Weave in all ends securely.
- If using different colors like in your photo, consider alternating cream, beige, and white for a beautiful mosaic effect.
