Cartwheels & Clovers – Free Square Crochet Motif Pattern with Video

May 28, 2020 //  by mezza//  Leave a Comment

Free Square Crochet Motif Pattern with Video. Back in August 2016, on a trip to a beautiful Norwegian island, I bought some gorgeous DK linen yarn, determined to crochet a top to remind myself of the trip. It wasn’t until more than 6 months later that I came up with a motif and subsequently a top using the yarn. Although the motif was lovely and the overall effect of the motifs are very attractive, the yarn was just too thick and the resulting top was a little heavy and bulky. Being very fond of the motif however, I kept coming back to it, so recently, I decided to remake the top using thinner yarn. I am experimenting with 4ply cotton (Scheepjes Catona in Saffron ) and some 3ply Lithuanian linen. I will share my experiments with you, but to start off, I will document the pattern here.

These instructions are for making a motif in 4ply cotton with a 3mm hook which results in a motif that is approximately 14x14cm. Each motif uses about 12g/30m of yarn.

I would recommend using the written pattern in conjunction with the videos.

I would just like to state, that this pattern has not been properly tested. If you make it, I would truly appreciate any feedback.

Also, I LOVE seeing what you’ve made with my patterns, so please share! On Instagram I am @mezzamay and on Facebook @mezzacraft.

On my learning platform, you’ll also find instructions for the joining technique as well as details about layout and construction for making a top including neck-shaping.

I also plan to add some details about layout and the construction of the curved neckline.
