How to Make a Crochet Pentagon Pattern

Materials

You’ll need just a few easy to find materials to be able to crochet a granny pentagon. Below, we’ll talk about the easiest yarn and crochet hook size for a beginner to start crocheting a pentagon with.

  • Yarn: The best yarn for a beginner to crochet a pentagon with is a worsted weight (four weight) yarn. But keep in mind, this can be crocheted with any size yarn you wish.
  • Crochet Hook: The most common hook size used for a four weight yarn is a H 5 mm crochet hook. You can use whatever hook size you’d like. I suggest reading the yarn label of the yarn you pick for the crochet hook size that is recommended
  • Scissors: A nice pair of yarn scissors are great for cutting yarn ends when required.
  • Tapestry Needle: You will need this to weave in the yarn ends once you are done crocheting a pentagon.

Stitches In A Granny Pentagon

To be able to complete a pentagon, you’ll need to know a few basic crochet stitches. All of them are easy to crochet, so you’ll be ok once you look over the stitches below.

Double Crochet (dc): 

  1. Yarn over (yo) the crochet hook, insert the crochet hook into the designated stitch.
  2. Yo the crochet hook again, draw the yarn through the stitch, so there are 3 loops on the crochet hook
  3. Yo the crochet hook again, draw through 2 loops, so there are 2 loops on the crochet hook.
  4. Y0 the crochet hook, draw through the final 2 loops.

Groups of double crochets are worked together in one stitch when crocheting a granny pentagon, and those groups of double crochets are referred to as double crochet clusters.

Chain Stitch (ch):

A chain stitch is a simple crochet stitch that often serves as the foundation for other crochet stitches worked into a project.

  1. Make a slip knot.
  2. Yo (yarn over)
  3. Draw a loop of yarn back through the loop on the crochet hook. You have completed your first chain stitch.
  4. Yo and draw a loop through the loop on the crochet hook for each new chain stitch.

Slip Stitch (sl st):

  1. Insert the crochet hook into the designated stitch
  2. Yo (yarn over) and pull back through the stitch and through the loop on the crochet hook.
