2025 Crochet A Block Joining

Difficulty Level/Skill Required: Easy – Intermediate

Basic stitches in simple variations, simple repeats, color changes, shaping and finishing.
Includes more involved stitch combinations like the popcorn stitch.

You will need to know basic stitches like the DC (double crochet).
Special stitches explained and links to tutorials are provided.

Supplies/Materials:

• Yarn – Vinnis Colours – DK Nikkim 100% cotton (50 grams/119 meters)
  Weight – DK (11 wpi) 3: Light.
• Hook – 4.00 mm (G) – Clover
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Abbreviations: US Terminology
CH – chain
SL ST – slip stitch
SC – single crochet (UK – DC)
HDC – half double crochet (UK – HTR)
DC – double crochet (UK – TR)
RS – right side
WS- wrong side

Gauge:
Not necessary for this project to be perfect.
However if you use a different yarn and/or hook sizing will differ.
Using the SAME hook and yarn will ensure your squares are consistent in size.

Pattern Notes:
Stitch count is important!
For completing the blanket – correct stitch count will ensure a successful joining of squares

Colors:

• A – Natural approx 2 balls – 260 yards/ 238 meters

Instructions:

PLEASE NOTE – This is the joining I preferred to keep within the theme of this blanket – THIS JOIN is optional – there are many wonderful joins available that will be suitable of this blanket. ie. SL ST method, Zipper Method.
The only requirement is to ensure to have a 190 DC on each side after joining – 38 DC on each square.

Joining:

Note: squares can be joined in any order – this was my preferred order.

Below is the joining sequence I followed:

Row 1:

• Join 2 to 1.
• Join 19 to 2.
• Join 10 to 19.
• Join11 to 10.

Row 2:
