Laconia Throw Square Motif Tutorial

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will be making a square motif for the Laconia Throw. This pattern was designed by Nazaden Esfard and is an intermediate-level project. We will be using a 5.0-millimeter hook and a combination of red, yellow, white, and gray yarn.

Materials Needed

• 5.0-millimeter crochet hook
• Red, yellow, white, and gray yarn
• Stitch marker
• Laconia Throw pattern (linked below)

Round 1: Creating the Ring

To start, we will chain six and slip stitch it into the first chain to form a ring. Next, we will chain three and work a treble crochet. The pattern calls for a two treble cluster and a total of eight clusters. Join the round by slip stitching to the first treble.

Round 2: Adding Chains and Single Crochets

In round 2, we will slip stitch into the next two chains, chain five, and single crochet in the next chain three space. Repeat this sequence around and join with a slip stitch at the base of the chain five.

Changing Colors

To change colors, we will join the new color in the next chain five space. We will fasten off the previous color and secure the new color with a chain one.

Round 3: Creating Corners

Round 3 is where we start working on the corners. We will begin by treble crocheting in the next chain space, followed by chaining one and treble crocheting six times. Repeat this sequence for a total of seven treble spaces. In the next chain five space, we will single crochet. Repeat this sequence three times to create four corners.

Round 4: Adding Single Crochets

In round 4, we will chain one, single crochet in the next chain one spot, and repeat this sequence six times. Repeat this pattern three times and join with a slip stitch. Fasten off the color.

Blocking the Squares

If you find that your squares are not completely flat, don't worry. You can block them at the end to make them flatter and more even. Refer to the linked video tutorial for instructions on how to block.

Joining the Squares

Once you have made all the squares, it's time to join them together using the yellow yarn. Follow the linked instructions for joining techniques.

Adding a Border

After joining the squares, you can add a border to complete the Laconia Throw. Feel free to get creative with your border design.
