Most Popular Crochet Square and Block Patterns

These popular crochet block patterns easily adapt to your favorite colors, sizes, and projects.

  1. Granny Square – this classic motif is one of the first beginner crocheters learn. Use our video tutorial to master this technique.
  2. Floral Squares – many pattern designers decide to put a flower in the center of their square and block. Whether it’s three-dimensional or flat, it always adds a lot of character to the piece.
  3. Filet Crochet Squares – these squares use openwork to create beautiful motifs. Easy to learn and beautifully vintage; these blocks are perfect for beginners.
  4. Textured Crochet Blocks – post stitches, bobbles, mosaics? Yes, please! Textured crochet blocks look best when paired with simple ones.

Where to Use Blocks and Squares

Get creative with these small pieces and arrange them however you want! Of course, the most popular way to use them is in blankets and afghans. Why? Individual elements are much more portable and easier to handle. Make sure to use them in pillows and cushions – a smaller project perfect for a quicker deadline. Crochet square bags and totes are a hit during summer, as well as some crochet garments – cardigans, dresses, tops and vests. 

That’s not all – scarves and shawls can also be made with crochet blocks, whether you’re going for a lacy look or a cozy winter piece. Lastly, let’s talk about decor, such as table runners and wall hangings – so easy to make with squares. If you’re not into big projects, however, you can always use individual squares as coasters and call it a day!

FAQ

Let’s answer some frequently asked questions.

1. How many squares do I need for a blanket?

The number of squares depends on the size of the squares and the blanket. You can use our crochet block calculator to determine how many blocks you need for your desired size.

Of course, it’s a great idea because mixing different squares adds texture to the project. Just make sure they’re the same size and gauge for a cohesive final piece.

It depends on the project. For blankets, acrylic yarn is popular due to its warmth, durability, and easy care. For wearables or home decor, cotton and blends are also great choices.

A consistent gauge is key, but blocking will also help even out slight variations in size. Check your gauge often, especially if you’re using different stitches or yarns.
