Textured Crochet Square Written Pattern, Light Worsted Yarn Weight, Beginner-Friendly Pattern, Perfect for a Relaxing Crochet Project

February Square is a crochet pattern with a calm and inviting feel, offering a softer alternative to some of the more structured squares in the Year collection — while still showcasing beautiful texture. It’s perfect for cozy home décor pieces such as throws, cushions, dishcloths, or small rugs.

For this sample, I used Friends Cotton 8/6 by Hobbii — a soft, durable DK weight cotton yarn — along with a 4 mm crochet hook. The result is a lightweight yet textured square that would work equally well in cotton, wool, or even chunkier blends for added depth and warmth. Using heavier yarn can transform the look entirely, making it ideal for larger, more substantial pieces.

The pattern uses basic stitches familiar to most crocheters: single crochet, double crochet, chains, and slip stitches. Its rich texture is achieved through a combination of front loop only (FLO) and back loop only (BLO) techniques, along with crossed double crochet stitches, giving the square a gently layered and tactile look.

Written in US crochet terms, the pattern produces an 11-inch square, but includes instructions for easily adjusting the size, so you can customize it to suit your project — whether you’re making a single dishcloth or planning a full blanket.

Gauge: 18 dc x 9 rows = 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm)

This is a simple, meditative pattern that’s easy to memorize, making it a great option for a relaxing weekend project or something to take with you on the go. Explore the rest of the Year collection to find other modular squares that complement this one and build a design that’s truly your own.
