Four Square Blanket by Rachele Carmona
What is Being Made
The Four Square is a customizable crochet blanket designed by independent designer Rachele Carmona. This project features a classic granny square construction that can be worked as a square blanket, rectangle, or adjusted to any desired size. The pattern offers flexibility in finished dimensions and thickness, allowing makers to create a blanket tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
Blanket Variations and Customization Options
One of the standout features of this pattern is its versatility. The Four Square blanket can be constructed in multiple ways:
- Standard single-strand thickness for a blanket with nice drape and sturdy feel
- Double-thick construction for added warmth and weight
- Square format or rectangular format variations
- Any custom size, allowing crafters to scale the project up or down based on their needs
Crochet Techniques and Stitches
The Four Square blanket is built on granny square fundamentals, a time-honored crochet technique known for its geometric appeal and textural interest. The pattern emphasizes texture and visual impact through its square-based construction. Designer Rachele Carmona notes that all processes included represent her preferred methods, developed through continuous exploration of new crochet techniques. The pattern is written with the understanding that crafters will personalize and adapt the instructions to suit their own creative vision.
Materials: Yarn, Hook, and Finishing
The standard Four Square blanket is designed using worsted weight yarn worked with a single strand. The recommended hook size is 6.50mm (size K), which produces a fabric with excellent drape and a sturdy, substantial feel. The pattern notes that yarn selection, hook choice, and finishing treatments are entirely up to the individual maker, encouraging creative customization throughout the project.

The downloadable PDF pattern includes comprehensive instructions organized into clear sections:
- Make Squares instructions (Page 2)
- Join and Work Border techniques (Page 4)
- Blanket Variations guide (Page 6)
- Appendix A covering multi-color projects, including the Changi colorway option
Design Philosophy
Rachele Carmona presents the Four Square pattern as a concept rather than a rigid set of rules. The designer actively encourages makers to tweak and modify the pattern to make it their own, reflecting a philosophy that values individual creativity and personal interpretation. This approach makes the pattern suitable for both beginner crocheters learning granny square basics and experienced makers seeking a flexible foundation for creative exploration.
