Combining Floral Square Motifs
There are several methods to join crochet motifs. Here are two common methods:
Method 1: Slip Stitch Join
- Place two motifs with the right sides facing up.
- Insert the hook into the corner stitch of both motifs.
- Pull the yarn through all loops on the hook (sl st).
- Continue to sl st through both loops of each motif all along the edge.
- When you reach the next corner, sl st through the corner stitches of both motifs.
- Continue this process for all motifs, making sure to match edges carefully.
Method 2: Join As You Go (JAYG)
- Complete one motif fully.
- For subsequent motifs, crochet until you reach the final round.
- On the final round, begin joining at each corner and along each edge as you crochet.
- When you reach a corner, ch 1, sl st to the corresponding corner of the joined motif, ch 1, and continue.
- Along the edges, alternate between sl st in the space or stitch of the joined motif and working the stitches of the current motif.
