Definition

Modular crochet constructs a piece from independent modules rather than continuous rows, joining them by sewing, slip stitching or joining as you go.

Overview

Modules are portable and forgiving: each one is small enough to finish in a sitting, and a flawed unit can be replaced without unravelling the project. This is the logic behind granny square blankets and hexagon cardigans alike.

Layout planning matters more than stitch skill. Colour placement across dozens of identical modules is what separates a considered piece from a scrap-yarn blanket.

Characteristics

  • Repeated independent units
  • Highly portable and easy to scale
  • Joining method strongly affects the final drape

Typical uses

  • Blankets
  • Cardigans and tops
  • Cushion covers
  • Bags
