🌿 Crochet Lacy Square – Corrected Pattern Instructions
🧶 Start With:
- A magic ring
🧵 Foundation:
Round 1:
- Into the magic ring:
Ch 3(counts as first dc), then 24 dc.
Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first ch-3. (25 dc total including the initial ch-3)
Round 2: Lacy Center with Decreases
Ch 3(counts as first dc of a decrease),
2 dc together in the same stitch (3 dc together = 1 dec group)Ch 3, skip 1 stitch, then (3 dc together in next stitch, ch 3, skip 1 st)
— repeat around.
You should end with a ch 3 and join with sl st to top of first decrease.
Round 3: Expanded Lace with Corner Base
- Repeat the same as Round 2, but:
- Use ch 4 instead of ch 3 between groups
- At the four corner points (i.e., every fourth or fifth decrease group), ch 7 instead of 4 to start forming square shape
Round 4: Build the Frame
Start from the middle stitch of a ch-7 corner loop:
- (5 dc) in that middle stitch (first dc should align with last dc of the previous corner group)
Ch 3, skip 4 stitches,scin nextCh 5, skip 2 stitches,scin nextCh 3, skip 4 stitches, 5 dc in next 5 stitchesCh 2, 5 dc in next 5 stitches (first dc should fall in the same st as last dc of the previous group)
Repeat this full sequence for each side of the square, building toward four strong corners and lace sides.
✅ Notes:
- Be sure to align your 5 dc clusters with the ones from the previous row for symmetry.
- Chain spaces (3, 5, 7) create the light airy texture — don’t tighten them too much.
- Adjust stitch counts evenly on all sides to maintain the square shape.
🎨 Customization Ideas:
- Yarn Color: Try alternating colors for each round or use gradient yarns for stunning color transitions.
- Join-as-you-go: Seamlessly join squares in the final round using slip stitches for a neat look.
- Add Border: Finish with a scalloped or picot border for extra charm.
🧼 Care Tips:
- Hand wash with mild soap.
- Lay flat to dry and shape while damp.
- Store folded or rolled to avoid stretching corners.
