This large crocheted square motif can be used for a variety of projects. I will be making a market bag with this pattern… so stay tuned for that tutorial! For this tutorial, I will take you through each of the thirteen different rounds of this pattern. The motif measures 13.5″ by 13.5″. You could carry on and repeat the last two rounds of the motif to make a larger square if desired.
I made this motif using one color of yarn, but you could use any combination of colors by fastening off after any round and adding a new color for the next round. I will have another tutorial showing how to make this motif into a market bag, and if you are interested in that project, I recommend using a cotton yarn because it is nice and strong. If you want to make a pillow, blanket or any other project with this large crocheted square motif, you can use any yarn you desire.

I did try to write a pattern for this project, but unfortunately, my cognition is still very much uncooperative, and I simply can’t write patterns at this time. So there is just the video at the bottom of this post. It is very comprehensive and shows you step-by-step how to crochet every round of this large crocheted square motif. The video tutorial is a bit long because each of the thirteen rounds is different. If you are new to crochet, make sure to check out my Beginner Crochet Series to learn all the basics of crochet.
The first seven rounds of the large crocheted square motif are crocheted in a circular pattern and then we begin to square the motif off starting at round eight. This is where the stitch markers are handy, but not required.
The finished motif will require blocking when you are done, and I have a video tutorial below that demonstrates how to do that. I like using the hand-steamer as it is very convenient, works quickly and does a very nice job.
