Patchwork Crochet Blanket – Free Pattern

I’m a big fan of the patchwork seen in quilt patterns. I’m always reminded of the quilt my mother would bring out on occasion, a memento from her grandmother.

While I don’t have to sew, that doesn’t mean I can’t piece together a beautiful crochet afghan reminiscent of my great-grandmothers quilt.

Modern Patchwork features a handful of modern crochet blocks to mix and match. I am in love with this pattern, and one day I'll make an entire blanket with just the small chevron square.

Crochet lovers combine this with your own selection of colors and make a statement.

Assembling Your Patchwork Blanket

Once you have your squares ready, it’s time to join them into a beautiful blanket. Here are some joining methods to try:

1. Slip Stitch Join

The slip stitch join is simple and creates a flat seam.

1. Place two squares together, right sides facing each other.
2. Insert your hook into both loops of each square and slip stitch along the edge.

2. Whip Stitch Join

A whip stitch is easy to work and keeps the seams clean and flat.

1. Place two squares together, right sides facing.
2. Use a darning needle and yarn to stitch along the edges, creating an invisible seam.

3. Join As You Go (JAYG)

For granny square blankets, try joining as you go, connecting each square to the others as you complete it.
