This square motif is crocheted in rounds, starting from the center and expanding outward until it becomes a square. Many crochet motifs use this technique because it creates decorative shapes that can easily be repeated and joined. 


Step-by-Step Crochet Tutorial

Step 1 — Make the Magic Ring

  1. Wrap yarn around your finger to create a magic ring.

  2. Insert hook into the ring.

  3. Pull up a loop and chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).


Round 1 — Base Circle

Into the magic ring work:

  • 15 double crochet (dc)

Total: 16 dc including beginning chain

Join with slip stitch to the top of the starting chain.


Round 2 — Chain Space Round

  1. Chain 4.

  2. Skip next stitch.

  3. Make dc in next stitch.

  4. Chain 1.

Repeat around:

skip 1 stitch → dc → ch1

You will form small open spaces around the circle.

Join with sl st.


Round 3 — Fan / Petal Stitches

  1. Slip stitch into the first chain space.

  2. Chain 3.

  3. In the same space crochet:

  • 3 dc

  1. Chain 2.

In the next chain space work:

  • 4 dc

  • ch2

Repeat this around the circle.

Now we begin shaping the motif into a square.

  1. Slip stitch into the next space.

  2. Chain 3.

  3. Work:

  • 3 dc

  • ch2

  • 3 dc

This creates a corner cluster.

Repeat pattern around:

Corner spaces → (3 dc, ch2, 3 dc)
Side spaces → 4 dc

Join with sl st.


Round 5 — Square Expansion

  1. Chain 3.

  2. In the next stitch make 1 dc in each stitch.

At each corner space work:

(3 dc, ch2, 3 dc)

Continue around the square.

Join with slip stitch.


Round 6 — Decorative Edge

  1. Chain 1.

  2. Work single crochet (sc) in each stitch around.

At each corner:

This helps keep the square shape neat.
