How to make Crochet Granny Square

Posted on November 20, 2025

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.

Stitches used

  • ch = chain
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • dc = double crochet
  • sc = single crochet (only for finishing optional)
  • ( โ€ฆ ) = repeat inside parentheses

Still White (B):

  1. Ch 3
  2. (2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next st) repeat around
    โ†’ total 18 dc
  3. Sl st

This creates the small 6-sided white center you see.

Start Purple (A):

  1. Attach yarn A
  2. Ch 3
  3. dc in each stitch around โ†’ 18 dc
  4. Sl st

โญ ROUND 4 โ€“ Begin Diamond Colorwork

This round begins the motif.
Repeat for each side:

Pattern for 1 side:

  • Change to White: 3 White dc
  • Change back to Purple

Full round:

  1. Ch 3 (Purple)
  2. (Purple 5 dc, White 3 dc) ร— 4
  3. Sl st with purple

You will see the diamond starting to grow.

  • White 5
  • Purple 4

Full round:

Continue tapestry style:

Pattern for 1 side:

  • White 7
  • Purple 3

Then add 1 corner:

  • (dc, ch 2, dc) in the next Purple stitch

Repeat all 4 sides.

Full round:

  1. Ch 3
  2. (A 3 dc, B 7 dc, A 3 dc, [A dc, ch 2, A dc]) ร— 4
