Beautiful Crochet Motif Easy Crochet Pattern for Crochet beginner🌸

 


Materials

  • Yarn: DK / sport / cotton (or crochet thread with smaller hook for delicate size)

  • Hook: 3.0–3.5 mm (adjust to match yarn & desired size)

  • Tapestry needle, scissors, blocking pins

  • Stitch markers (optional)


Abbreviations (US)

  • ch = chain

  • sl st = slip stitch

  • sc = single crochet

  • hdc = half double crochet

  • dc = double crochet

  • tr = treble crochet (if used)

  • sp = space

  • st = stitch

  • rep = repeat


Pattern notes

  • The motif is worked in rounds from the centre out.

  • The outer rounds shape into a square with corner clusters so motifs tile neatly.

  • Final round includes even sc/chain spaces suitable for join-as-you-go (JAYG).


Rounds — full motif

Round 1 — centre ring

  1. Make a magic ring (or ch 4 and sl st to make a ring).

  2. ch 3 (counts as dc), work 11 dc into the ring (12 dc total).

  3. Pull ring tight and join with sl st to top of ch-3.

(Result: small round of 12 dc.)


Round 2 — anchors (picot/arch)

  1. ch 1, sc in next dc, ch 3 — repeat around (12 sc and 12 ch-3 loops).

  2. Join with sl st to 1st sc.

(These ch-3 loops are anchors for the petals.)


Round 3 — small petals (fans)

  1. Sl st into first ch-3 loop.

  2. Into that loop work: (sc, ch 1, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, ch 1, sc) — a tapered fan/petal.

  3. Repeat into each ch-3 loop around (12 petals).

  4. Join with sl st.


Round 4 — outer connecting arches

  1. ch 1, sc in outer sc of petal, ch 4, sc in next petal outer sc — repeat around to create 12 ch-4 arches between petal bases.

  2. Join with sl st.


Round 5 — form sides & corners (squareing)

Group the 12 arches into 4 groups of 3 arches → each group becomes one side; the 3rd arch becomes the corner.

  1. ch 3 (counts as dc), work 2 more dc into same ch-4 arch (so 3 dc).

  2. In next ch-4 arch: 3 dc.

  3. In the 3rd arch of the group: 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc (corner cluster).

  4. Repeat that [3dc, 3dc, corner] sequence 4 times total (uses all 12 arches).

  5. Join with sl st.

(Now motif has 4 sides and 4 corners and blocks square.)


Round 6 — tidy join round (and optional scallop)

  1. ch 1, sc evenly around motif; in each corner ch-3 make 3 sc to round corners. Join with sl st.

  2. Optional decorative final round (scallop): skip 2 sc, 5 dc in next sc (shell), skip 2 sc, sc in next sc — repeat around for a scalloped edge.

Fasten off and weave in ends. Block motif flat.


Join motifs — recommended: Join-As-You-Go (JAYG)

Best to attach motifs during their final round (Round 6) so seams are neat and no sewing is needed.

JAYG method (simple):

  • Make the first motif completely.

  • Start a new motif up to Round 6. On Round 6, when you reach a side that touches the finished motif: instead of doing a plain sc in that stitch, do:

    • sc in your motif st, ch 1, sl st into the corresponding sc (or chain-space) on the finished neighbor, ch 1

  • Continue sc round. When you reach a corner that touches two neighbors, sl st into both neighbors’ corner ch-3 spaces (work the ch-1 joins symmetrically).

  • Repeat to attach motifs row by row — it works very neatly.

If you prefer, block all motifs then sew them with mattress stitch or whipstitch.


Runner / panel assembly

  • Decide motif size and layout (e.g., runner 3 motifs across × N rows).

  • Join motifs by JAYG in rows: make a chain of motifs first and then build the next row joining to the row below and to the left neighbor as you go.

  • After joining all motifs, add a border: sc round to even edge, then one or two rounds of shell/scallop as desired.


Border suggestion (3 rounds)

  1. Round 1: sc evenly around entire assembled piece; 3 sc in outer corners.

  2. Round 2: skip 2 sc, 5 dc in next sc, skip 2 sc, sc in next sc (shells).

  3. Round 3: ch-arch finish: sc, ch 4, sc in shell centers or sc, ch 3, sl st in ch-3 for picot points. Block to shape scallops.


Tips & troubleshooting

  • Motifs different sizes? Block all motifs and, if needed, add an extra sc round to the smaller motifs to match size.

  • Seams pucker? Join with a looser tension or use JAYG but sl st more loosely; alternatively stitch through back loops only to reduce bulk.

  • Edges ripple? Add a stabilizing sc round (one more sc round) before scallops.

  • Want a denser motif? Replace some dc with hdc or add extra stabilizing rounds.


Variations & ideas

  • Work petal rounds in a contrast color, outer rounds in background color for a floral pop.

  • Sew a small bead or button in motif center for sparkle.

  • For a blouse: join motifs into two panels (front & back), seam shoulders/sides leaving armholes, trim neckline and armholes with sc and small shells.

  • For delicate table runner: use cotton thread and a 1.5–2.0 mm hook for a fine vintage look.
