Dune Crochet Pattern by Lois Floyd
What is Being Made
The Dune crochet pattern creates a decorative crochet piece measuring 20.5cm x 22cm. This intermediate-level project is suitable for crafters looking to expand their skills beyond basic crochet techniques. The finished item can be displayed as wall art, incorporated into home décor, or finished as a completed project to sell (with proper credit given to designer logii).
Crochet Techniques Used
This pattern employs several advanced crochet techniques to achieve its detailed design:
- Tapestry crochet – A method of carrying yarn colors through the work to create intricate patterns without frequent color changes
- Intarsia crochet – An alternative technique where colors are dropped and picked up again as needed, useful for designs with large blocks of color
- Cut and tie method – A finishing technique where yarn is cut and reattached to create clean edges and transitions between color sections
Stitches and Abbreviations
The Dune pattern uses US crochet terminology throughout. The primary stitches employed are:
- Chain stitch (ch) – Used to create the foundation chain at the beginning of the pattern
- Single crochet (sc) – The main stitch used throughout the piece; each square in the chart represents one single crochet stitch. Note that in UK crochet terms, this is equivalent to a double crochet (dc)
- Stitch (st) – General abbreviation for individual stitches
The pattern includes both a chart and written instructions, allowing crocheters to follow their preferred method of reading patterns.
Materials and Tools
To complete the Dune crochet pattern, you will need:
- Yarn: 5 skeins of sport weight cotton in colors of your choice. The designer used DMC Natura just cotton for the original piece
- Hook: 3.5mm crochet hook
- Pattern format: Downloadable PDF with both chart and written instructions
Pattern Notes and Gauge
The pattern begins in the bottom right corner after the foundation chain is complete. Gauge is not critical for this decorative piece, however maintaining consistent tension will help you achieve the finished dimensions of 20.5cm x 22cm as shown in the designer's original.
The color work flexibility allows you to choose your preferred technique: carry colors through the work using tapestry crochet, drop and pick up colors using intarsia crochet, or use the cut and tie method for the cleanest appearance between color transitions.
