Classic granny squares, floral motifs, vintage lacy blocks – you can turn these pieces into something truly beautiful. In this category, you will find the best free crochet square patterns, and afghan block designs, as well as hexagons, pentagons, triangles, and more.

Squares, Hexagons, Triangles…

Use these basic shapes to create your own designs, or follow the instructions closely. In our collection, you will find both individual free patterns for squares and blocks, as well as free patterns for blankets and pillows built with them.

Of course, you can also use the squares or hexagons individually, for example as coasters. If you make a bunch and join them with a string, you can create a lovely handmade bunting. A single crochet square can also be a great starting point for a blanket worked in the round.

Easily Adjustable

Building crochet blankets with crochet squares or afghan blocks makes it very easy to adjust in size. Measure one square and multiply it to achieve the size and shape you want. You can also use our Block and Square Calculator. This type of design is also great for planning out color palettes because you can lay the blocks on the floor and arrange them as you wish.

Simple or Complex – You choose!

Crochet afghan blocks, squares, or hexagons can be as simple or as complex as you want. These crochet patterns feature various crochet techniques, such as mosaic crochet, filet crochet, tapestry crochet, and more. You will also find simple designs worked in the round, with basic stitches only. Many of the crochet blocks use crochet flower designs or floral ornaments.

Mix and Match

One of the greatest advantages of using crochet blocks is the ability to mix and match different patterns to create unique pieces. You can combine various shapes and sizes or stick to a single motif for a more cohesive look. This versatility allows you to experiment with different textures and colors, making each project a one-of-a-kind creation.

Beyond blankets and pillows, crochet blocks can be used in a myriad of creative ways. Assemble them into a stylish tote bag, a cozy scarf, or even a decorative wall hanging. Smaller blocks can be turned into potholders, placemats, or even wearable items like vests or cardigans. The possibilities are endless!
