Step 1: decided whether you want to crochet a blanket from a pattern you like or you want to make your own original creation.

If you choose to use a crochet pattern:
Step 2: Gather all the materials needed. The materials should be specified at the beginning of your crochet pattern. This includes, yarn type, crochet hook size, scissors, and any other special materials you may need.

Step 3: Make sure you can understand the pattern. Some crochet patterns can be confusing. So it is a good idea to skim over the pattern to understand the designer’s style. If you have trouble understanding the pattern, ask someone for help! Once, you understand the basic idea of you blanket’s pattern, you are ready to move on to the next step. This helps prevent frustration later on and helps you finish your crocheted blanket in a timely manner.

Step 3: Draw what you want the blanket to look like. Not everyone can visualize everything in their head. So go ahead and draw what you want. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s just a rough sketch.

Step 4: Choose colors. A good color scheme is what makes blankets pretty. You can choose to use several colors or just one. It is all up to you, since this is your design.

Step 5: Choose crochet stitches you want to use. You may need to use different crochet stitches to obtain the blanket shape that you chose and to fit the sketch that you drew.

A crochet cube can be used for many projects. You can make baby blocks, dice, tissue box covers or gift boxes. The ideas are limitless. Crocheting a cube can be done using multiple methods. You can either crochet all 6 sides of the cube separately then sew them together, or you can crochet your cube in the round. This tutorial explores crocheting your cube without sewing pieces together, thus crocheting in the round.

The basic idea is to start by creating a square and then make it three dimensional by crocheting around it with out increasing the amount of stitches in each round. To make the bottom of the cube, each round is slowly decreased to close the bottom. To make different sized cubes, just make the initial square the size that you want it.

Crochet Pattern: Cube
Note: stitches are crocheted in the back loop only unless otherwise indicated.
Top Square
Round 1: ch 2, 4 sc in second ch from hook, place marker
Round 2: 3 sc in each sc around: 12 sc
Round 3: sc in next sc, (3 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc) 3 times, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next sc: 20 sc
Round 4: sc in next 2 sc, (3 sc in next sc, sc in next 4 sc) 3 times, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc: 28 sc
Round 5: sc in next 3 sc, (3 sc in next sc, sc in next 6 sc) 3 times, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 3 sc: 36 sc
Round 6: sc in next 4 sc, (3 sc in next sc, sc in next 8 sc) 3 times, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 4 sc: 44 sc
Round 7: sc in next 5 sc, (3 sc in next sc, sc in next 10 sc) 3 times, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 5 sc: 52 sc
Round 8: sc in next 6 sc, (3 sc in next sc, sc in next 12 sc) 3 times, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 6 sc: 60 sc

Sides of Cube
Round 9: sc in both loops of each sc around: 60 sc
Round 10 – 23: sc in each sc around: 60 sc

Closing Bottom
Round 24: sc in both loops of each sc around: 60 sc
Round 25: sc in next 6 sc, (decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook, sc in next 12 sc) 3 times, decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook,, sc in next 6 sc: 52 sc
Round 26: sc in next 5 sc, (decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook, sc in next 10 sc) 3 times, decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook, sc in next 5 sc: 44 sc
Round 27: sc in next 4 sc, (decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook, sc in next 8 sc) 3 times, decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook, sc in next 4 sc: 36 sc
Round 28: sc in next 3 sc, (decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook, sc in next 6 sc) 3 times, decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook, sc in next 3 sc: 28 sc
Note: stuff cube, while decreasing.
Round 29: sc in next 2 sc, (decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook, sc in next 4 sc) 3 times, decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook, sc in next 2 sc: 20 sc
Round 30: sc in next sc, (decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook, sc in next 2 sc) 3 times, decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook, sc in next sc: 12 sc
Round 31: (decrease by inserting hook into next 3 sc, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook) 4 times: 4 sc

Squares can be crochet “in the round” or row by row. When crocheting in the round, you start by creating the center of the square and then crochet around the center to make your square larger. When you crochet a square row by row, you start by creating one side of the square which is as long as the width. Then you keep adding rows on top of it until your square is the proper length. In this tutorial, I will show you both ways.

Need help understanding the abbreviations? Check out the crochet abbreviation chart.

Crochet a Square in the Round
Round 1:ch 2, 4 sc in second ch from hook, place marker
Round 2: 3 sc in each sc around: 12 sc
Round 3: sc in next sc, (3 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc) 3 times, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next sc: 20 sc
Round 4: sc in next 2 sc, (3 sc in next sc, sc in next 4 sc) 3 times, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc: 28 sc
Round 5: sc in next 3 sc, (3 sc in next sc, sc in next 6 sc) 3 times, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 3 sc: 36 sc
Round 6: sc in next 4 sc, (3 sc in next sc, sc in next 8 sc) 3 times, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 4 sc: 44 sc
Round 7: sc in next 5 sc, (3 sc in next sc, sc in next 10 sc) 3 times, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 5 sc: 52 sc

Continue this pattern until the square is the desired size.

The basic idea is to put 3 single crochets in each of the four corner, while just 1 single crochet in each single crochet on the sides of the square.

Crochet a Square Row by Row
Row 1: chain until chain is width of desired square
Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc in each sc across

Repeat row 2 until length of square is the same as the width of the square. With this pattern, you can also create a rectangle.

These examples of creating a square only use single crochet. Squares can be crocheted in any crochet stitch that you want. Just make sure you account for the length of a crochet stitch when you make your square. For a fun square pattern, try crocheting a granny square!
