✨ Why You’ll Love the Persian Crochet Blanket

• Modular design: Work one motif at a time, perfect for crocheting on the go.

🧵 Materials Needed

To create your Persian Tiles Crochet Blanket, you’ll need:

• DK (Light Worsted) weight yarn in at least 6 colors

• 4.0 mm (US G/6) crochet hook or size to match gauge

• Yarn needle for sewing and weaving in ends

• Scissors and a blocking board (optional for shaping motifs)

🧩 Construction Overview

The blanket is built using three main motif types:

🔷 Octagon Motif

This is the focal point of the blanket. Each octagon features textured stitches like double trebles, shells, and front post stitches, creating an ornate, tile-like appearance. Each motif finishes with a border to transform the circular shape into an octagon.

🟥 Square Motif

Placed between the octagons, the square motif helps fill the negative space and balances the layout. It’s worked from the center outward with basic double crochets and chain spaces.

🔺 Triangle Motif

These motifs are used along the blanket’s edges to turn the octagonal structure into a rectangular finish. They taper off in rows using double crochets and increase shaping.

Once all motifs are completed, they are joined using a flat slip stitch join or whip stitch, and then finished with a border of your choice.
