Easy Breezy Multicolour Square Crochet Tutorial – Crochet in Colour Step-by-Step
Crocheting multicoloured squares is a fun, creative, and beginner-friendly way to add some color and texture to your crochet projects. Whether you want to make a vibrant blanket, a stylish bag, or a decorative throw pillow, multicolour squares are the perfect starting point. In this step-by-step tutorial, we'll guide you through creating your very own Easy Breezy Multicolour Square that you can use in a variety of crochet projects.
What You’ll Need:
Yarn: Choose three or four colors of yarn. You can use any yarn weight you like, but a medium weight yarn (like worsted weight) works best for beginners.
Crochet Hook: A hook size that matches your yarn (typically recommended on the yarn label).
Scissors: For cutting your yarn at the end of each colour change.
Yarn Needle: For weaving in ends once the square is complete.
Step 1: Start with a Magic Ring
The magic ring is a popular technique that creates a tight, adjustable center for your square. If you're not familiar with this, here’s how to do it:
Make a loop with your first color yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches.
Insert your crochet hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop to secure the ring.
Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
Double crochet 2 more times into the magic ring. You should now have 3 double crochets in the ring.
Note: You will work into the ring and close it later.
Step 2: Creating the First Round
Continue making double crochets into the ring. You need a total of 12 double crochets in the magic ring.
