Crochet is considered one of the most popular and sought-after types of needlework in our time. Nowadays, every needlewoman is offered such a variety of knitting options that it’s hard to imagine. These are the most exclusive and modern crochet patterns that you can consider now.
An activity like knitting is an incredibly exciting activity. If you at least once try to knit something beautiful, and you succeed, then it will be difficult to give up such a hobby. Using a crochet hook you can not only create exclusive masterpieces, but also knitted clothes, the most unusual and original napkins, bedspreads, collars and even trim. The main thing is the desire to learn something new.
Features of crochet and variety of patterns
The selection of crochet patterns offered to needlewomen provides ample opportunities to directly express creative imagination, as well as to reveal your personal potential. Because such patterns can be used in combination with each other, as well as separately, creating truly bold and most luxurious masterpieces.
Types of patterns for crochet embroidery
We will name the most common patterns so that you can choose all the options you like and then use them in practice. These are: dense patterns, fillet patterns, openwork patterns, patterns from individual motifs (for example, Irish patterns), knitted border and others.
It is difficult to say which of the proposed options are better and which are worse. Because each individual pattern, each sample is unusual and chic in its own way. For example, now patterns from individual motifs are in demand among needlewomen. The practice of creating crocheted fabric directly from individual motifs is also called Irish knitting. Many needlewomen would like to master this method.
This type of knitting, in which the entire fabric is assembled from separately knitted elements, usually of a non-standard geometric shape. For example, these can be triangles, also circles, squares, parts of a circle and even polygons. The most difficult design option is polygons.
The elements are knitted from the middle and they must have a flat shape. Often, individual elements of such lace are used as applied decorations or as appliqué on fabric or knitwear. All crochet patterns that are offered to you for consideration are exclusive.
Choose any sample you like and start creating your own work of art, which you will then admire all the time. Good luck in your endeavors.
How to crochet patterns
Over the years, this crochet craft has developed greatly. Many amendments and innovations were made by needlewomen who lived at all times and in all nations. Nowadays, do-it-yourself crochet has a very large selection of patterns. If you know them all, you can create so many miracles that you never even dreamed of.
As elsewhere, among all the patterns there are also simple ones that beginners can master. There are also complex ones that require more effort and time. But all the schemes can be roughly divided into the following groups:
- simple;
- mesh;
- shells;
- dense patterns;
- openwork;
- embossed;
- patterns for motifs;
- jacquard.
Let's look in detail at each of these groups and its example patterns.
Crochet mesh patterns
Mesh patterns are so named because they look like a mesh when finished. They can be distinguished only by the shape of the holes and their sizes. The fillet mesh is considered the most popular pattern among all craftswomen. Let's see how you can crochet with descriptions and diagrams:
How to crochet patterns diagram
Cast on 13 stitches for the sample. Make 1 lifting stitch at the beginning of each row.
Make 12 air for the sample. 1 loop for lifting a row at the beginning of odd rows, two loops are needed in even rows.
- 1r. five chain stitches, skip three, 1 chain stitch, three chain stitches, one chain stitch in the same loop as the previous stitch, actions must be done until the end of the row.
- 2 rub. five chain stitches, then we repeat the pattern: one single stitch in the third loop of the arc, three chain stitches, one single stitch in the same loop, five chain stitches, one single stitch in the third loop of the arc, three chain stitches, one single stitch n in the same loop. At the end of the row, you need to cast on two air loops for lifting the previous row and make one single crochet without three crochets. Repeat knitting until the end of the fabric according to row 2.
Here are some diagrams for future products.

We knit simple crochet patterns
Simple patterns have different designs of the product that can be created using simple knitting techniques: single crochet pattern. At the beginning of the row, in all rows you need to make 2 lifting loops, and then knit a single stitch into each next loop. Single crochet pattern and more. There are only double crochets here.
It is necessary to increase the number of lifting loops at the beginning of each row by 1 in accordance with the number of yarn overs. For example, if you make one yarn over, then there should be three air loops, if there are two yarn overs, then 4 and so on. The pattern of the fabric can be changed depending on which wall and how many loops the column was knitted with. Using the below diagram, you can make a regular crochet pattern:
Knitting pattern for a simple pattern
We crochet openwork patterns
Openwork patterns knitted independently with your own hands can look like elegant and delicate patterns that look like cobwebs. They are usually used for, made from thin threads and crocheted. This also includes lace patterns. Using a combination of braids and columns of air loops, you can add beautiful results to patterns. Things are also decorated with openwork patterns: beacons. There is also an option to knit curtains, napkins or tablecloths. There are a lot of openwork patterns all over the world. For example, you can look at the diagram below:
Openwork pattern
Make a chain of 14 chain stitches for the sample. Make three lifting loops at the beginning of each row:
Openwork pattern scheme
- 1r. make one chain stitch in the sixth loop of the chain, then two chain stitches, one half stitch in the same loop, two chain stitches, one chain stitch in the same loop, then two chain stitches and knit 1 chain stitch through 4 loops. Next, leave 4 stitches undone until the end of the second row. Repeat this report and at the end knit one single stitch, and after 2 loops there will be one single stitch in the last stitch.
- 2 rub. there are three chain stitches, then the diagram is: one double crochet in a single crochet of the previous row, two chain stitches, one half-column in the same loop, two chain stitches, one double crochet in the same loop. Then come the new leaves of the flower: pick up three air leaves and put a working thread on the hook, pull a new loop through three loops and get 3 loops. Knit the first 2 loops so that there are two left on the hook, then yarn over, then the hook is inserted into the loop of the end of the leaf, which was knitted in the previous row, then a new loop is pulled out again. Next, two loops are knitted that are on the hook and one stitch is knitted in the same loop of the previous row. Next, the two stitches s\n, which you did not knit to the end, are knitted in the same way as before, only this is done in the loop of the tip of the next leaf in the bottom row. When you have completed all the procedures, there should be six loops on the hook, and you knit them together. The next step is to knit one chain stitch and make a fourth leaf. To do this, you will knit 2 more air loops and knit 1 single stitch in the middle of the new flower. Repeat all of the above until the end of the row. At the end, you need to knit 1 stitch with\n into the last lifting loop.
- other rows must be knitted according to the report of the second row.
Try looking at the samples below which will show you some openwork patterns:
Crochet shell pattern
Shell pattern
This pattern was named so because when you knit it, the pattern is very reminiscent of a shell. This pattern can be used as an openwork pattern, making light and thin products. The technology of the shell pattern is very similar in execution to the openwork pattern, but there are some differences:
- cast on 32 chain stitches for the sample. Two stitches are needed to lift at the beginning of an even row; for an odd row, 4 stitches are needed.
- 1r. knit 9 double crochet stitches into the fifth loop of the chain, then skip four loops and in the next make one double crochet stitch, repeat until the end of the row.
- 2 rub. make a double crochet stitch in the first stitch. Next, make five double crochets and knit a double crochet into the stitch with one crochet of the previous row. Then cast on 3 chain stitches and knit in the same stitch with 2 double crochets. Knitting must be done in the same way until the end of the row. Then follow the diagram:
Shell pattern diagram
The number of yarn overs you knit into a loop can be 2, 3 or even more. The height of the shell will depend on the number of these yarn overs. It is best to take an odd number of columns, otherwise the canvas will be deformed and not even.
If you want all the main elements to be beautifully arranged in a drawing made by yourself, and the product does not stretch, then you need to leave a distance between the shell pattern. When you just start knitting a shell, you need to correctly calculate the number of stitches. Then the main elements will be knitted in full in the drawing.
We crochet dense patterns
Dense patterns are those that look like a solid fabric without holes. They can have different interlacings of the simplest pillars. Usually, things for the winter are knitted in tight patterns. The pattern below looks very good in the finished product:
Dense pattern
Making a dense pattern is not very difficult. When you’re just starting out, at the beginning of the row it’s tedious to knit 2 loops for volume, and all other loops in the row are made using elongated stitches: where is the elongated stitch.
Dense pattern scheme
An elongated stitch must be done like this: insert a hook into the loop of the previous row, then grab the working thread and pull out the loop. From this loop, make one air loop, and then the two resulting loops must be knitted on the hook.
Extended column
Crochet jacquard patterns
Multi-color or jacquard patterns knitted by hand are those patterns in which threads of several different shades are used. These patterns can be dense, simple, mesh or openwork at the same time. And also sometimes they are performed in one of these written options. Typically, jacquard patterns are a little more difficult to make, because several threads are involved in the work, but among these patterns there are simple ones that any beginner can do.
For example, the following pattern is very easy to make. There are only two shades here. You need to knit 2 rows with each shade, which are given in this pattern: 1 air stitch for lifting, a single stitch in the arch of the previous row and one air stitch.
Jacquard pattern
If you practice a little, then in the future you can make these beautiful patterns:
Pattern diagram
We crochet relief patterns
This pattern will later have a convex pattern and a three-dimensional one. Patterns must be made using embossed columns. This pattern is well suited for items such as a sweater, cardigan or thick jacket. For example, the waffle pattern looks very cute:
Relief pattern "Waffle"
You can make this drawing like this:
- 1r. make single crochet stitches, knit three chain stitches at the beginning of each row.
- 2 rub. here there is an alternation: one column with \n and two convex relief columns.
- 3 rubles make columns with \n above the embossed columns, and make embossed ones above the columns with\n.
Relief pattern diagram
Continue knitting, repeating everything from the second row. If you knit embossed columns, you can get a beautiful embossed elastic band:
We crochet patterns for motifs
The motif is a separate element; with their help you can assemble any canvas. You can choose a different pattern for knitting a motif with your own hands, and you can take any pattern that you read about above today as the basis for creation. If you want to create a model from motifs, then first you need to make a pattern, because then you can get confused in the process of making the canvas. The following video offers a look at how crochet motifs are made:
If you are a beginner, then it is best for you to go for easy patterns. Otherwise, the whole process will resemble hard labor. And when you already have experience, you can safely take on the most difficult schemes, and then the work will bring only great pleasure.
HOW TO CROCHET A LACE PATTERN
http://domihobby.ru/kruzhevnoj-uzor-kryuchkom/
A beautiful openwork pattern from the magazine “Duplet” for crocheting a pareo, shawl, scarf, or maybe it will inspire you to knit a beautiful dress or sundress. This pattern is distinguished by an unusual technique of knitting single crochets from under the arches, forming voluminous rolls. To obtain a fine, clear pattern, mercerized cotton yarn with a slight sheen works well.
Start knitting by casting on a chain of air loops, taking into account that the repeat of the pattern in width consists of 12 loops. The height of the pattern repeat consists of two rows.
So, having typed a chain of the required length, we knit the first row: *arch of 12 chain loops, make a double stitch in the first loop of the arch and tie it with the 16th stitch. b/n, forming a volumetric roller, then we knit an arch of 13 air loops and fasten it with st b/n through 12 loops of the initial chain, repeat from * to the end of the chain.
In the second row we tie the resulting rollers according to the diagram.
Having finished the second row, move the connecting columns to the top of the openwork roller and continue knitting the pattern from repeating the 1st row.
Using a crochet hook you can create a wide variety of openwork patterns. The complexity of their implementation may vary. Simple crochet patterns are great for beginner knitters. Moreover, with their help, stunning dresses, skirts, sweaters and other items and interior decorations are created.
Simple pattern No. 1
The single crochet stitch is a basic stitch in knitting and one of the most common stitches in crochet. Toys, clothes, and accessories are knitted using single crochet stitches. The fabric knitted with such columns holds its shape well.
1st row: 1 lifting loop, *1 tbsp. b/n in the loop of the column of the previous row *;
2nd row: 1 lifting loop, *1 tbsp. b/n in the loop of the column of the previous row*.
All other rows are knitted like the second row.
Simple pattern No. 2
Knit a chain of the required number of air loops.
1st row: 1 tbsp. s/n in the 4th loop from the beginning (for the first row), 1 tbsp. s/n in the next loop;
2nd row: 2 v.p. for lifting, 1 tbsp. s/n to the end of the row.
Simple pattern No. 3
For the sample, cast on a chain of air loops in a multiple of 2, plus 1 loop for symmetry of the pattern, plus 2 lifting loops.
1st row: 2nd century lifting point, 1 tbsp. s/n, *skip one loop on the chain, 1 tbsp. s/n, 1st century. p., 1 tbsp. s/n in the same loop as the 1st st. s/n* ;
2nd row: 2nd century lifting point, 1 tbsp. s/n, *1 tbsp. s/n in the arch between the two columns of the previous row, 1st century. p., 1 tbsp. s/n in the same arch as the 1st art. s/n*.
All subsequent rows are knitted in the same way as the second.
Simple pattern No. 4
Knit a chain of chain stitches in multiples of 8, plus 2 loops for symmetry of the pattern, plus 3 lifting loops.
1st row: tie a bundle of 3 tbsp. s/2n in the 6th loop of the chain, 1 in. p., skip 3 loops on the chain, *3 tbsp. s/2n in one loop, 1 in. p., skip 3 loops on the chain*, 3 tbsp. s/2n in one loop;
2nd row: 3rd century lifting point, *3 tbsp. s/2n in the arch under the air loop, 1st century. p.*, 3 tbsp. s/2n into the air edge loop.
The third and all subsequent rows are knitted as the second row.
Simple pattern No. 5
For a sample pattern, cast on the number of air loops in the chain that is a multiple of 6, plus 5 loops. 
1st row: knit 1 tbsp. b/n in the 8th loop of the chain from the hook, *skip 2 loops of the chain, 1 tbsp. s/n, skip 2 chain loops, 1 tbsp. b/n*, skip 2 chain loops, 1 tbsp. s/n;
2nd row: 3rd century p., *1 tbsp. s/n in loop st. b/n of the previous row, 2nd century. p., 1 tbsp. b/n in the loop st. s/n of the previous row*, 1 tbsp. s/n in loop st. b/n of the previous row, 2nd century. p., 1 tbsp. b/n in the 3rd century. n. of the previous row;
3rd row: 5th century p., *1 tbsp. b/n in the loop st. s/n of the previous row, 2nd century. p., 1 tbsp. s/n in loop st. b/n of the previous row, 2nd century. p.*, 1 tbsp. b/n in the loop st. s/n of the previous row, 2nd century. p., 1 tbsp. s/n in the 3rd century. p. of the previous row.
The pattern is repeated from the second row.
Simple pattern No. 6
For the sample, the number of air loops is a multiple of 2 plus 1 loop for the symmetry of the pattern.
1st row: The first fluffy stitch is knitted into the 3rd loop from the hook, *1 in. p., skip 1 loop of the chain, 1 fluffy column from art. s/n*;
2nd row: 2nd century p. rise, 1 lush column from art. s/n of the first lush column of the previous row, * 1 in. n., 1 lush column from art. s/n into the loop of the next fluffy column of the previous row *.
All subsequent rows are knitted like the second row.
Simple pattern No. 7
For the sample, cast on a chain of air loops with a number that is a multiple of 2, plus 1 loop for the symmetry of the pattern, plus 3 lifting loops.
Extended half-column: Yarn over, insert the hook into the loop, grab the working thread and pull it through the loop. Knit the loop and yarn over together, then knit the remaining two loops on the hook together.
1 row: 3 v.p. rise, 2 elongated half double crochets in the 5th loop from the hook, * ch 1. skip the initial chain, 2 elongated half double crochets in one loop of the chain*, 1 half double crochet in the last loop of the chain;
2nd row: 3rd century p. rise, *2 elongated half double crochets in the arch between the two columns of the previous row*, 1 half double crochet in the v. p. lifting the previous row.
Simple pattern No. 8
For the sample, cast on a chain of 37 chain loops (the number of loops is a multiple of 8 + 5 chain loops for symmetry).
Start knitting a row with loops before the repeat, finish knitting a row with loops after the repeat.
1st row: 6 vp, 1 tbsp. s/n in the 3rd loop from the hook, *1 tbsp. s/n in the 7th loop of the chain, skip 1 p., 2 tbsp. s/n with 1 v.p. between them, skip 1 p., 1 tbsp. s/n, 3 vp, 1 tbsp. s/n to previous
Art. s/n*, repeat from *, 1 tbsp. s/n 2nd row: 6 vp, 1 tbsp. s/n in the 3rd loop from the hook, *1 tbsp. s/n above st. s/n of the previous row, 2 tbsp. s/n with 1 v.p. between them in v.p. previous row, 1 tbsp. s/n above st. s/n of the previous row, 3 vp, 1 tbsp. s/n in the previous article. s/n*, repeat from *, 1 tbsp. s/n.
All other rows are knitted in the same way as the second row.
pattern for canvas. I really liked this pattern because it looks great on thick threads and doesn’t lose its appeal. Looks good in chunky knit.
The pattern is suitable for finishing the bottom and sleeves of a dress, pullover, skirt, and can also be the basis for a stole, jacket, or shawl.
Walnut track
Patterns by craftswoman Pani Anya from Darievna.ru
I really love this pattern. It doesn't knit very quickly, but it always looks impressive. Plastic like a mesh, you can take liberties in the calculations - it will still stretch or fit as it should. To prevent the openwork from spreading, you need to knit the double column not under the arch, but in a loop - because of this, the speed drops.
The sample shows chamomile yarn (PNK), 320m/75g (that is, about 430m/100g), hook 1.9
Another favorite pattern is technical, as I call it. If you need to get a non-transparent, but openwork crochet fabric, this is it. Not very stretchy, elongation coefficient is about 20%, moderately dense. It is very convenient if you need to “cover” strategically important places from prying eyes in a summer openwork item. If you knit from thin wool, the item turns out to be very warm.
Unfortunately, I didn’t find a single-color sample, only a striped one. Maxi yarn 565m/100g, hook 1.5. If you crochet 1.75-2 it will be more openwork, while maintaining opacity and density.
Another “technical” pattern, probably the one I use most often. Good for everyone - knits quickly, flexible, laconic. An important quality - it makes it slim. It is easy to fit and expand the fabric by adding or subtracting columns. Pairs perfectly with any motif. The sample shows Semenovsky cotton Cable, 430m/100g, hook 2.1 
Granny square, also known as "grandmother's square". A classic motif, usually multi-colored. It’s very simple, you can recycle leftover yarn and knit anything for your home - small (seat covers, pincushions, coasters for hot dishes) and large (it looks great in blankets - just wow!). Often used in clothing decoration - scarves, stoles, shawls-ponchos, bags.
Sample: Jeans YarnArt, cotton-acrylic 50%, 176m/50g, hook 3
Fans and mesh. Plastic, easy to knit, because of the vertical stripes of the fans it will fold, because of the stripes of the mesh it stretches where it needs to be. You can knit in the round or in reverse rows - the look is the same, because the stripes of the fans always end up on the “face”. The mesh looks “clearer” if you knit a single crochet not under the arch, but in a loop, but it takes longer, so I usually don’t bother.
The sample shows yarn Garus "Turn", viscose, 500m/100g, hook size 1.9. The thread is shiny, the hook here is a little larger than needed for this thread and the sample is so small, because knitting with Garus is not an easy task.
But the motive is light and beautiful.
I often see it in different models. It is good in all incarnations - both things composed entirely of motifs, and decoration-decoration with a stripe of motifs. Pairs best with simple patterns (stripes, stripes with mesh, loin mesh).
The sample shows yarn Romashka (PNK), hook 2
A simple but effective pattern - polka dots. With the external “holeiness” it is quite dense and has little stretch; in order to maintain the delicacy, it is better to crochet a slightly larger number than is usually customary for this yarn. Very capricious towards companions, it goes well only with something geometrically simple - just columns, stripes of fillet knitting. It will be very good in a combination of fabric and crochet fabric.
The sample shows Ivushka yarn (Semyonovskaya factory), cotton/viscose, 430m/100g, hook 2.1
We modify the previous pattern and get openwork polka dots
It is knitted faster because the groups of stitches are knitted under the arch, which is why the pattern is more voluminous and flexible than on the previous sample. It stretches weakly. But it’s easy to vary the size of the holes - if you knit not two air loops, but 3 (4, 5) holes will be larger.
When I took the photo, I forgot to attach a ruler, but take my word for it - the width of the sample is the same as the previous one, the yarn-hook is the same (Ivushka Semenovskaya, cotton/viscose, 430m/100g, hook 2.1).
Application examples are from online store catalogs.
Another frequently used pattern. It knits very quickly, is flexible, and can be easily expanded by adding air loops and/or stitches, immediately across the entire row or in groups. It stretches in all directions, so it is absolutely indispensable when knitting something fitted, such as skirts (10-12 centimeters from the waist down). It combines well with some geometric openwork and motifs, if you want to combine it with something romantic and delicate (for example , "pineapple" pattern), I would advise visually separating one pattern from another with something neutral - a strip of stitches (single crochet or double crochet) or one or two rows of fillet mesh
The sample shows Begonia YarnArt yarn, cotton 169m/50g, hook 2.5
On the sample, by the way, there is a piece of the skirt yoke, you can see the expansion - where the ruler is, there is a belt, where the top of the sample is, there are hips, in the groups the number of columns has been increased.
A simple, but very elegant pattern - also groups of columns under an arch, but not in a checkerboard pattern, but in a checkered pattern. The pattern stretches weakly in width, but in height it can be knitted in the round or in reverse rows - the stitches are always “on the face”.
The sample shows Begonia YarnArt yarn, cotton 169m/50g, hook 2.1
Words cannot express how much I love these cells. By varying the height of the columns and the number of air loops between the columns, you can make the cells larger or smaller, square or rectangular. It stretches very weakly, does not knit quickly (rows with single crochets slow down the growth of the fabric), but it always looks beautiful.
This pattern with vertical stripes of fans is so common that I even hesitated whether to include it in the samples or not.
The pattern is very simple, it is knitted quickly, all the stitches are knitted “under the arch”, because of this the speed is good, it stretches well in width, in height - a little less, it is easy to “fit” it on the figure by changing the number of loops and/or stitches, in to the entire row at once or in groups.
There is one note - when choosing a hook, take a number slightly larger than you usually knit this yarn. Because of the fans, the fabric drapes weakly, and by decreasing the number of the hook you will make it completely “standing up”
The sample shows Jasmine yarn from the Kirov plant, cotton, 220m/75g, hook 3
And examples of the pattern - photos taken from catalogs (and at the same time an illustration of how to put the pattern on a model - with adding loops or adding fans)
When you can’t come up with anything, but you need it quickly, and even so that it expands and contracts easily
Plastic, knits quickly. Disadvantages - it looks a bit boring and while you knit it you fall asleep from the monotony.
The sample shows Summer YarnArt, 70% cotton 30% viscose, 100g/350m, hook 3.
In the sample above there is already an extension - the tracks are 4 columns, not 3, first every other time, then all together.
Again a pattern based on those already shown. And it retains all the qualities of the previous one - it knits quickly, is simple, drapes weakly (you need to take a little more hook).
Sample: Begonia YarnArt, cotton 169m/50g, hook 2.1
Although the pattern is very simple, I often see it in all sorts of catalog pictures. For example, a Missoni dress, all the patterns are recognizable
Very common, beautiful pattern. Easily modified by increasing the number of air loops between groups of columns. Doesn't stretch much, doesn't drape well. But it knits up quickly
The sample shows a bobbin Liliya Semenovskaya in 4 threads, that is, about 400m/100g, cotton, hook 2.1
And an example from some online store
Another frequently encountered pattern, very beautiful and I really like it. Plastic, knits quickly, fits well, especially with various meshes and fan patterns.
The sample shows a bobbin Liliya Semenovskaya with 4 threads, that is, about 400m/100g, cotton, hook 2.1. And this sample clearly shows how important yarn is for the appearance of the pattern. I knitted it from cotton folded into 4 threads, it turns out to be an untwisted flat thread - and in a mesh it is absolutely no good, in the sample the mesh is somehow clumsy and lumpy. Here you need twisted yarn, then the mesh will be beautiful, in this pattern all the attention is on it.
Example of using a pattern
This pattern has a very nice design, but in real life it leaves a lot to be desired. A row with stylized flowers - no matter how hard you try, you can’t make a masterpiece out of it. I stretched it very much when steaming, so the flowers became flowers, if you don’t stretch, or if the yarn is twisted mercerized cotton, then instead of flowers there will be some strange mishmash of threads.
The sample shows poppy yarn (PNK cotton), hook 2. I didn’t measure it because I stretched it just brutally
Double mesh, which does not knit like a mesh
A very interesting pattern - it stretches much less than mesh, but retains its inherent airiness. It is not knitted quickly; the rhythm of the pattern, although not difficult to remember, requires attention. Overall, I really liked it, I’ll have to put it somewhere urgently
Yarn Vita Coco, cotton 240m/50g, hook 1.5
