5.25″ Crochet Lace Square Pattern

March 12, 2014 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

This pretty crochet lace square is very easy to make. It has a nice open lace stitch in the middle, which makes this ideal for making summer bags, pillows and blankets. The floral lace is surrounded by a solid border to bring it all together.

Work it up in a single color as shown or add a few rounds of contrast or matching colors to bring it to life. It makes for a lovely stashbuster that way!

The Stitch Pattern

The stitch pattern is very simple with a few puff stitches in the middle for the resemblance of a small flower. Then some basic lace in the middle followed with a solid border, making it easy for you to join your squares with others.

Although the puff stitch is very easy to make, you should be familiar and comfortable with making the basic crochet stitches.

The Yarn

I used Patons Canadianna, a medium worsted weight #4 yarn. It’s a soft and shiny acrylic yarn; and is slightly on the thinner side than many other yarns at that weight.

You can use any other medium #4, but you might need to up your hook size a bit. I went down a hook size than what is recommended on the yarn label. It works well with this yarn, but might not work with other yarns.

Also, the size will come out a bit larger than this one if you decide to go with a heavier yarn.

Red Heart Super Saver is a good alternative to use.

Joining Your Squares

There are many ways that you can join your finished crochet squares. One of the easiest ways to join your squares is to use single crochets and simple single crochet them together.

Another awesome seaming method is the mattress stitch, which is a secure, and almost invisible join.

Personally I think a solid join would work best for this square, but you might also want to consider the flat-braid join, which would then further add to the lace of this square.
