After creating the 6” Jacob’s Square and the 12” Kismet Square built off of it, and making quite a few of each square (more on the reason for that next week), I had some ideas for another version. There was a slight edit I wanted to make on the first round, and then a fun different look for the top. That is where Tamara’s Kismet square came from.
Tamara’s Kismet Square uses the traditional Jacob’s Ladder stitch in the center, and is bordered by the Jacob’s ladder stitch flipped on its side. This creates a lot of fun texture and a really nifty~looking square, if I do say so myself. ;) The idea for turning the Jacob’s ladder stitch on its side came from this awesome pattern. The square can be used in blankets, pillow covers, as wall art, or in some other way you can imagine. You can even make a quick baby blanket with 6 of these squares and a border, it works for boys or girls. Just have fun with it!
Tamara's Kismet Square Crochet Pattern by Jessie Rayot
Project Overview
Tamara's Kismet Square is an intermediate-level crochet project designed by Jessie Rayot that creates a finished 12-inch square. This downloadable pattern is ideal for crocheters looking to expand their skills beyond beginner techniques while working with accessible materials and straightforward construction methods.
What Is Being Made
This pattern produces a single 12-inch square, making it suitable for blankets, afghans, cushion covers, or as a component in larger modular crochet projects. The square design offers versatility for both decorative and functional applications in home décor or wearable projects.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches Used
Tamara's Kismet Square incorporates fundamental crochet stitches and techniques appropriate for intermediate crafters:
- Chain (ch) – Used for foundation and pattern structure
- Slip Stitch (sl st) – Applied for joining rounds and creating seamless transitions
- Single Crochet (sc) – Provides dense, tight fabric construction
- Double Crochet (dc) – Creates lighter drape and forms the primary fabric texture
These stitches work together to build a structured square with balanced tension and professional finishing.
Yarn and Materials
This pattern is designed using Lion Brand Vanna's Choice yarn in an aran weight, which is a medium-weight yarn suitable for creating fabric with good stitch definition and reasonable drape. The recommended gauge is 13 stitches and 6.5 rows in a 4-inch square worked in double crochet, ensuring proper sizing and fabric consistency.
Required materials include a US 9/I/5.50mm crochet hook and a yarn needle for weaving in ends and finishing details.
Skill Level and Difficulty
Classified as an intermediate project, Tamara's Kismet Square assumes familiarity with basic crochet fundamentals and is designed to challenge developing crocheters with pattern complexity while remaining accessible to those building their technical repertoire.
