V-Square Crochet Pattern by Kate Veselunka

What Is Being Made

The V-Square is a colorful crochet square designed by Kate Veselunka. This finished square measures 15 x 15 centimeters (6 x 6 inches), making it an ideal size for blanket projects, afghans, or decorative textile applications. The design incorporates five distinct colors to create visual interest and dynamic color blocking within a single square unit.

Craft and Technique

This is a crochet project suitable for crafters with intermediate skill level. The pattern is written using standard US crochet terminology, making it accessible to English-speaking crocheters. The V-Square demonstrates fundamental crochet techniques applied in a structured, geometric format that allows for creative color work and stitch combination.

Stitches and Construction

While the specific stitch sequence is detailed within the full pattern instructions, the V-Square employs standard crochet stitches to create its characteristic V-shaped design elements. The pattern guides crafters through color changes across five yarns—white, yellow, blue, pink, and bright pink—to build the visual pattern. This color-work approach requires attention to yarn management and stitch consistency throughout the project.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Aran weight (worsted, size 4) yarn in five colors: white, yellow, blue, pink, and bright pink. The original square was created using Jeans Plus yarn by YarnArt, which is a cotton-acrylic blend (55% cotton, 45% acrylic) with yardage of 175 yards (160 meters) per 100 grams (3.53 ounces).
• Hook: 5 mm crochet hook
