Imagine wrapping yourself in the cozy embrace of a Crochet Imagine Square, a magical piece of handiwork where colors and patterns dance together in harmony. Each stitch tells a story, inviting your hands to bring to life a tapestry of yarn that feels as good as a warm hug.
Crochet Imagine Square
Materials Needed:
- Six colors of cotton yarn (colors are up to your choice but include Maroon, Yellow, Blue, Pink, White, and Green in the example)
- 2 mm crochet hook
Pattern Steps:
First Round:
- Start with the maroon color yarn, make a magic ring.
- Work chain 3, add chain 1 for a total of chain 4. This counts as a double crochet and a chain one space.
- Work a double crochet into the ring, chain 1, and another double crochet into the same space.
- Continue to work one double crochet, chain 1, one double crochet five times into the ring.
- After making five double crochets, pull the yarn tight to close the magic ring.
- Chain 1, then make a slip stitch into the third chain from the initial chain four.
Second Round:
- Start with chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
- Work a front post popcorn stitch into the chain three space. To do this, make a double crochet and three more double crochets into the same space (four total including the chain 3).
- Make a popcorn stitch: drop the loop from the hook, insert the hook from the first double crochet, grab the loop, and pull through.
- Chain 2, then work another front post popcorn stitch into the next double crochet.
- Continue around with the front post popcorn stitches, chain 2 between each, until the end of the round.
- Close with a slip stitch at the top of the first popcorn stitch.
Third Round:
- Chain 1 and cut the yarn.
- Attach the yellow color yarn with a slip stitch into any chain 2 space.
- Chain 5 (counts as a double crochet and chain 2). Work a double crochet into the same space (V-stitch made).
- Chain 1, then make another V-stitch in the next chain 2 space.
- Continue this around. Close the round with a slip stitch into the third chain of the initial chain 5.
Fourth Round (Blue Yarn):
- Attach blue yarn with a slip stitch into a V-stitch.
- Chain 6 (counts as a double crochet and chain 3). Double crochet into the same space.
- Continue as described, working double crochets separated by chain 3 into each V-stitch around.
- Close the round with a slip stitch into the third chain of the initial chain 6.
Fifth Round (Pink Yarn):
- Attach pink yarn with a slip stitch into a chain 3 space from the third round, making petals by working five double crochets, a picot (with chain 2 and slip stitch into the fifth double crochet), and another five double crochets in the next V-stitch from the fourth round.
- Repeat around, joining with a slip stitch into the opening chain.
Rounds 6 to 11:
- Repeat the process for each subsequent round, changing colors as follows:
Sixth Round:
- White yarn
Seventh Round:
- Green yarn
Eighth Round:
- Return to the Yellow yarn
Ninth Round:
- White yarn (again)
Tenth Round:
- Pink yarn
Eleventh Round:
- Dark Blue yarn
Twelfth Round (White Yarn):
- This round involves working with the middle popcorn from the eleventh round.
- Work chain 1, a single crochet, chain 2, then single crochet into the top of the next middle popcorn.
- Continue this pattern, closing with a final chain 2 and slip stitch into the initial single crochet to join.
Finishing:
- Work any final rounds as described in the original text, attaching petals and creating borders as shown.
- Finish by cutting off the yarn, and secure it by weaving in the ends.
- Block the project for the best shape and size.
