Crocheting a square motif runner, blouse, or tunic involves creating individual square motifs and then joining them together to form the desired garment. Here are the general steps to crochet a square motif runner, blouse, or tunic:
Materials you’ll need:
- Yarn in your choice of color and weight.
- Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn weight (refer to the yarn label for recommendations).
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends.
- Scissors.
Crocheting Square Motifs:
- Start with a slip knot and chain a multiple of your desired square motif size. For example, if you want 6″ square motifs, chain a multiple of stitches that works for that size.
- Join the last chain to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a ring.
- Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet), work additional double crochets into the ring to create the desired size square. Typically, you can work 2-4 double crochets between each chain, with chains in the corners to create a right angle. For example, you could start with [3 double crochets, chain 2] for the first corner.
- Continue working your chosen pattern around the ring, creating corners by chaining 2 and working more double crochets. Join the last stitch to the top of the initial chain-3 with a slip stitch to close the round.
- Repeat Round 1 until your square motif is the desired size, changing colors as needed to create different color patterns.
- Once the square motif is the size you want, fasten off and weave in the yarn ends with a yarn needle.
Joining Square Motifs:
- Lay out your square motifs to plan the layout of your runner, blouse, or tunic.
- Join the motifs by sewing or crocheting them together. There are different methods for joining motifs, including slip stitching them together or using a technique like the whipstitch.
- Work in rows or columns, attaching each motif to its neighboring motifs until the entire garment is joined together.
Finishing:
- Once all the motifs are joined, you can add any necessary edging to the outer edges of the garment. This might involve adding a border or a row of single crochet stitches around the entire piece for a clean finish.
- Weave in any remaining loose ends.
- Block your finished piece by pinning it to shape and misting it with water to help it lay flat and maintain its shape.
- Your square motif runner, blouse, or tunic is now complete and ready to be worn or used as a decorative piece.
