Here’s a detailed pattern for making a CROCHET SQUARE WITH A DIFFERENT BEEK design:
Skill Level: Intermediate
Materials needed:
- Worsted weight yarn in your desired colors
- Crochet hook suitable for the yarn weight
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Note: The pattern is written in US crochet terminology.
Instructions:
Step 1: Beak (make 1):
Using a contrasting color yarn, start with a magic ring.
Round 1: Ch 1, work 6 sc into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close. (6 stitches)
Round 2: Sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch Repeat from * to * around. (9 stitches)
Round 3: Sc in each stitch around. (9 stitches)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
Round 1: Using the main color yarn, start with a magic ring.
Ch 3 (counts as the first dc here and throughout), work 2 dc into the ring, ch 2. 3 dc into the ring, ch 2 Repeat from * to * three more times. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning ch 3. (12 dc clusters)
Round 2: Slip stitch into the next 2 dc and into the next ch-2 space. Ch 3, work 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into the same ch-2 space (corner made). Skip the next 3 dc clusters, 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into the next ch-2 space Repeat from * to * three more times. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning ch 3. (24 dc, 4 corner ch-2 spaces)
Round 3: Slip stitch into the next 2 dc and into the next ch-2 space. Ch 3, work 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into the same ch-2 space (corner made). Skip the next 3 dc, 3 dc into the next space, skip the next 3 dc clusters, 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into the next ch-2 space Repeat from * to * three more times. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning ch 3. (36 dc, 4 corner ch-2 spaces)
Rounds 4-5: Repeat Round 3.
Take the beak piece made earlier. Position it at one of the corners of the square, aligning the center of the beak with the corner point. Thread the long tail onto the yarn needle.
Starting at the tip of the beak, sew it onto the corner of the square, going through both loops of the beak stitches and the corresponding square stitches. Continue sewing along the edges of the beak until you reach the base.
Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the remaining three corners of the square, attaching the beak to each corner.
Once all four beaks are attached, your crochet square with a different beak design is complete!
You can make multiple squares and join them together to create a larger project like a blanket or cushion cover. Experiment with different colors and yarn combinations to make your crochet creation unique and eye-catching. Happy crocheting!
