Posted on October 13, 2025

This crochet pattern is a granny square plaid-style block made with three main colors โ€” pink (center), teal (cross stripes), and beige/cream (background and border). Iโ€™ll teach you step by step how to make one square


๐Ÿงถ Materials

  • Yarn (3 colors):
    • Color A (Pink): Center of the square.
    • Color B (Teal): Cross stripes.
    • Color C (Beige/Cream): Corners and border.
  • Hook: 4.0 mm (G/6) or 4.5 mm (US 7)
  • Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
  • Scissors

๐Ÿชก Crochet Stitches Used

  • ch = chain
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • sp = space
  • ch-sp = chain space

๐Ÿงฉ Step-by-Step Pattern

๐ŸŒธ Round 1 โ€“ Center (Color A โ€“ Pink)

  1. Make a magic ring.
  2. Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), then 2 dc, ch 2,
    (3 dc, ch 2) ร— 3 times more.
    โ†’ You will have 4 groups of 3 dc separated by 4 ch-2 spaces.
  3. Sl st to the top of the beginning ch-3 to close.
  4. Fasten off Color A.

๐Ÿ‘‰ You now have a small pink square with 4 corners.


๐ŸŸฆ Round 2 โ€“ Teal (Color B)

  1. Attach Color B into any corner ch-2 space.
  2. Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same corner.
    (Thatโ€™s your first corner.)
  3. In the next space (between 3 dc groups), make 3 dc (side cluster).
  4. In the next corner ch-2 space, do (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) again.
  5. Repeat step 3 and 4 around.
  6. Join with sl st to top of beginning ch-3.
  7. Fasten off.

๐Ÿ‘‰ You have a teal frame around your pink center.


๐Ÿค Round 3 โ€“ Cream/Beige (Color C)

  1. Join Color C into any corner ch-2 space.
  2. Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same space.
  3. In each space between clusters along the sides, make 3 dc.
  4. In each corner, repeat (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
  5. Continue around, sl st to join.
  6. Fasten off.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Now your square has 3 color rounds (pink center โ†’ teal โ†’ cream).


๐ŸŸฉ Round 4 โ€“ Teal Cross Stripes (Color B)

This is what gives the โ€œplaidโ€ effect.

  1. Join Color B at the middle stitch on one side of the square.
    • To find it: count the stitches on one side (for example, 15 stitches).
      Start in the 8th stitch (the center one).
  2. Ch 3, then dc in next 4 stitches toward the corner.
    Turn your work.
  3. Ch 3, dc in next 4 stitches back (youโ€™ll have a teal bar 5 stitches wide).
  4. Continue this back-and-forth until your teal stripe reaches both opposite corners of the square.
    • You are essentially making a teal stripe that goes all the way across.
  5. Fasten off.
  6. Repeat the same process on the opposite side of the square to form the second teal stripe crossing the first one.
    • Youโ€™ll now have a teal cross in the middle of your square.

๐Ÿ‘‰ This gives the woven plaid illusion when joined together.


๐ŸคŽ Round 5 โ€“ Border (Color C)

  1. Join Color C in any corner.
  2. Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc (corner made).
  3. Along each side, make 1 dc in each stitch.
  4. In the corners: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
  5. Continue around, sl st to join.
  6. Fasten off and weave in all ends neatly.

๐Ÿงท Joining the Squares

  • Arrange your squares so the teal crosses line up both horizontally and vertically.
  • You can join them:
    • Using slip stitch join (through back loops only), or
    • Using join-as-you-go while working the final round of each square.
  • Make sure all teal bars align to form a full plaid grid (like in your right-side image).

๐ŸŒฟ Optional Finishing Border

After joining all your squares:

  1. Work 1โ€“2 rounds of dc or sc around the entire blanket.
  2. Use your border color (Color C) for a neat finish.
