Crochet Patterns: How to crochet a basic blanket
Crochet is a versatile craft that can be used for many things, from blankets and hats to scarves and gloves. This tutorial will show you how to crochet a basic blanket using only basic stitches.
To begin, chain 176 (200 with an extra 8 chains at the end), and then turn to work on the front side of the blanket. Begin by making a dc in the third chain from the hook (counts as your first st), dc in each remaining chain until you reach the end of the row, chaining 2 along the way.
Next row: Dc in each stitch across, chaining 2 along the way.
Repeat these two rows until your blanket is approximately 48″ long (60″ with an extra 8″ on each end). To finish off this row, sl st in the top of your last dc, chaining 2 along the way. You now have a border around your blanket!
To continue crocheting, turn your work so that you are working in back loops only (this is known as turning your work). Make a sc in each stitch across. Do not join together any rounds at this point – just continue crocheting until you reach the other side of your border. Once you’ve reached the other side of your border, fasten off and weave in all ends carefully.
Crochet Patterns: How to crochet a granny square blanket part 01
Crochet a Granny Square Blanket is a versatile project that can be personalized for any room in the house. All in all a great way to use up leftover yarn. Crochet Patterns, let’s get started!
Things You’ll Need:
- -Crochet hook size 4 (3.5 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge
- -Yarn of desired color(s)
- -Scissors
- -Stitch markers
- -Tape measure
Gauge: 18 dc = 4 inches; 10 rows = 4 inches square on US 5/3.75 mm needles with [ch 2, sk 2 dc, sc in next dc] all around (do not join). Change to bigger hook for larger squares.
1) Make a magic loop with your chosen color yarn and crochet it into an adjustable ring. Do not join yet.
2) Make 3 chains (count as 1 dc), then put the ring off the hook and pull the end through the first chain to make a “pinch” stitch. You now have 4 stitches in your ring. DO NOT YOKE! Repeat from step one until you reach your desired number of stitches, making sure to always make 3 chains before working into the ring again! (See photo for help!)
4) To start crocheting rounds into your granny square, insert your hook into the top left-hand stitch of the first round, yarn over, pull up a loop (2 stitches), put the hook back into the same stitch as before (the “back post” of your stitch), yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook (1 dc). You now have a closed loop. Do this again in each of the remaining stitches of the round.
5) To create a new round, yarn over and pull through one loop on the hook. You now have 2 loops on your hook. Yo yo (yarn over, pull through two loops), then put the hook back into the same stitch as before. Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook to make 1 dc. Do this again in each of the remaining stitches of that round.

7) To begin working into the corners, insert your hook into any cornerdc and work 1 sc into each cornerdc around. Do not join yet!
8) To finish off your rounds, *yarn over, pull through one loop* twice; this completes one sc in each stitch around. Now it’s time to join! Yo yo (yarn over, pull through two loops), insert your hook into the first sc, yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook to make 1 dc. Put the end of your color yarn into the second sc made, then put the granny square away for now.
9) To begin working in the opposite direction, work 1 sc into the first st of each round, then put the granny square away for now.
10) To change colors, put the new color yarn into any sc you’ve just made, then put the granny square away for now. Repeat steps 8-10 until you’ve used up all of your colors.
11) When you’re ready to finish your granny square blanket, take it out of its magic loop andjoin each round together with a slip stitch (see photo). Weave in any ends.
How to crochet an infinity scarf
Crochet infinity scarves are a great way to stay warm and stylish at the same time. With so many different colors and patterns to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect one for you.
Step 1: Crochet a chain equal to the desired length of scarf. For this example, we will be making a scarf that is 72 inches long.
Step 2: Make a slip knot and place it on your crochet hook. Make sure that the loop is facing down.
Step 3: Yarn over once and pull up a loop through both loops on your hook (two loops now remain on thehook). You have just made a single crochet (sc) in the first stitch of the chain.
Step 4: Chain two more stitches and make another sc in the next stitch. Continue crocheting in this manner, making scs in each stitch across the foundation chain until you reach the end of your scarf. Do not turn your work at this point – you will join it later on in step 5!
Step 5: To join your work, insert your hook into the last sc made, yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook (three loops now remain on your crochet hook). You have just completed a basic join – you can now turn your work so that it is correctly oriented vertically if desired!

How to crochet a diamond blanket
The diamond blanket crochet pattern is a versatile and attractive crochet project. It is made up of a series of diamonds that can be worked in any color or combination, making it a great choice for a wedding or baby shower gift.
To make this project, you will need to make a few basic stitches. The first is the chain stitch, which is used to create the foundation of the diamond shape. Second stitch is the single crochet, which is used to form the individual diamonds. The last stitch used in this pattern is the slip stitch, which helps secure the diamonds together.
Because you have completed these basic stitches, it’s time to start working on your diamond blanket. Start by making a chain equal to the desired length of your blanket.
Then work a single crochet in each chain from one end of the chain to the other. You will now want to turn your work so that your slip knot hangs down towards your hook. Now work a double crochet in each loop from this point onwards (this makes up one diamond). Make sure that your stitches are tight so that your diamonds form an even shape.
