Modular Crochet (Style)

Design approach in which the visual identity of a piece comes from repeating and arranging identical units.

Definition

As a style, modular crochet is about composition: how repeated squares, hexagons or circles are coloured and arranged across a plane.

Overview

Two blankets can use the same motif and look nothing alike depending on colour placement, border treatment and how the modules are oriented.

Gradient layouts, checkerboards and single-accent schemes are the three arrangements that most reliably lift a modular piece above a scrap blanket.

Characteristics

  • Repeat unit is the design element
  • Colour layout carries the composition
  • Easy to scale a design up or down

Typical uses

  • Blankets
  • Garments
  • Cushions
  • Wall pieces
