Textured Crochet Square, January Bold and Breathable Design, PDF Crochet Pattern

The January Crochet Square features a beautiful textured design, with cluster stitches that form a pattern resembling wheat stalks. The raised clusters are contrasted by flat single crochet stripes worked in back loop only (BLO), while short chain spaces are added to lighten the texture and create subtle, translucent ripples. This unique texture makes the square breathable and airy, despite its solid appearance, making it perfect for summer blankets or warm-weather garments.

This detailed textured crochet square pattern includes step-by-step instructions in English (US terminology) for creating an 11-inch square using light worsted yarn. The pattern is flexible and can be made smaller if needed, with instructions for increasing the square included, making it ideal for turning into a blanket or garment. Pro tip: Using chunky yarn, this pattern can also be used to create a cozy rug or a delicate lacy yarn prayer shawl.

The January square design fits seamlessly with the other squares in the Year collection. Explore the entire collection to mix and match these versatile crochet squares for your next project!
