Crochet and Cross Stitch Pine Tree Square

Here’s a square I crocheted and stitched using the free pine tree pattern and charts that are posted below.


This is a versatile crochet square pattern that you could use in many different ways. I incorporated it into a baby blanket with other square designs, but you could use it to make just about any type of project that can be made out of crocheted squares.

This baby blanket incorporates the pine tree design, along with many other different square designs. Overall, the design incorporates bunches of checkerboard patterns, and the theme is bold, graphic and geometric.


Want to give this pattern a try? You can grab the free charts here; they are posted below. Most of the free afghan square patterns are also available online, if you’d like to crochet this afghans (almost) as pictured. Sorry, I never got around to re-posting a few of the charts for the least popular squares.


Finished Size of 1 Square: Approximately 6.5 inches x 6.5 inches if you crochet it using worsted weight yarn.

How to Make These Squares:

First, crochet chart #1, below, using the tapestry crochet technique.

After you’ve finished working the square, change colors and work a round of slip stitch all the way around the outer edge of the piece.


Then change colors and work another round of slip stitch around the edge.


Here’s an Example of How It Should Look at This Point:

If you scroll back up to the previous picture and compare it against this one, you’ll notice something interesting: there are some really jagged edges where the green yarn used for the Christmas tree and the background color touch each other. Those jagged areas can easily be smoothed out with a round of surface crochet slip stitches.


So that’s how you make this square. If you want to make an entire project out of these squares, duplicate these steps as many times as it takes to make all the squares you need.


If you’re thinking of making a blanket or afghan, you might be interested in taking a look at our Christmas blanket and our pattern sampler afghan for two possibilities. There are many other ways you could style your blanket, so please don’t feel limited to either of these designs if you have a different idea in mind.
