37 Crochet Lace Square Patterns
Hello everyone, today I have a list of 37 Crochet Lace Square Patterns that I think you’ll enjoy!
These patterns are the best crochet lace square ideas I could find from Pinterest.
Almost all of these are crochet diagrams/charts, if you don’t know how to read charts, there are many tutorials online for how to do so. A quick Google search will help you get started!
I find that a lot of these pretty doily patterns are just diagrams, which in my opinion is almost easier to read than written step by step instructions.
You can use these crochet square doilies as framed artwork, table centerpieces, some are smaller squares so you could use multiple ones to create blankets or curtains. The possibilities are really endless!
For the following patterns, you’re going to want to use small crochet thread and a corresponding hook. I’m using size 10 crochet thread and a 1.65mm crochet hook, but feel free to use whatever you like. If you use a bigger size yarn and hook, your finished square will be bigger and vice versa, so just keep that in mind!
You’ll also want to block your crochet lace squares when you’re finished. It will look so much neater and less curly if you do this step. I like to soak mine in water and then pin it to a blocking board, but you can use a cardboard or pizza box in a pinch!
Alright let’s go ahead and get started on this list of 37 Crochet Lace Square Patterns!

#1 Gemstone Lace Blanket
The Gemstone Lace Blanket by The Lavender Chair, is a gorgeous lace square that can be made any size. To start, you’ll be working in the round, and then create a solid, circular center. Once that is complete, you’ll make a few lacy rounds and then crochet shells into the corner spaces. You’ll repeat the last 3 rows in order to keep growing your lace square.
#2 Sylvanweave Square
The Sylvanweave Square, created by Draiguna, is a beautiful lace square pattern. This square takes a little bit of time to complete as it has 20 rounds, but it is so worth it! Draiguna also has two different borders you can choose to finish the square. I decided to go with the last border with the picot shells.
#3 Floral Crochet Lace Square
This is a very pretty crochet lace square diagram that will have you crocheting a series of leaves in each corner. This pattern will require you to double crochet 4 stitches together (to create the tips of the leaves) and you’ll need to be comfortable making 3 double crochet clusters for the second to last round.
#4 Pineapples and Leaves Crochet Square

You’ll be crocheting a series of Pineapples and Leaves in this lace square diagram. There’s a label in the top right corner which hides some of the pattern (annoying I know), but if you look on the bottom you can tell what the pattern is asking you to do. This is a stunning crochet square and would be great to use as a little place mat or table decoration.
#5 Celtic Square Doily
The Celtic Square Doily pattern is brought to you by Handmade by Raine. This is a very unique piece, as you’ll be crocheting the middle part first, cutting your thread and then restarting on a different point. You’ll do that a few times in this project, even if you’re using one color like I did here. This is a very large square doily, and would be a wonderful centerpiece for a table.
#6 Crochet X Lace Square
This crochet lace square has a giant X in the middle of it, surrounded by a shell stitch border. Start with a ch 8 and close it with a slip stitch. You’ll notice that you grow the middle of the X out and then start to taper as you get closer to the end.
#7 Lacy Square Diamonds
The Lacy Square Diamonds pattern is unique in this list. Instead of starting from the center, you’ll chain 43, turn and make mesh stitches across. At the end of the part in black, you’ll turn and crochet down and across all the sides to finish the border. The Lacy Square Diamonds pattern looks very pretty and rustic.
#8 Pretty Crochet Square Pattern
The Pretty Crochet Square Pattern is a short and simple 10 round doily. Use this pattern to make multiple squares and stitch them together to create tablecloths, lacy sweaters, or curtains.
#9 Square Lace Doily
This square doily is simple, yet elegant. After round 5, you could easily adjust the size to suit your needs. Each of the opposite two sides mirror each other, so keep that in mind. I did find that if you’re not paying attention, it’s easy to repeat sides instead of switching. Half of the square is a mesh stitch and the other half is chains and picots.
#10 Delicate Lace Crochet Square
The Delicate Lace Crochet Square is probably one of the more “solid” of the lace squares in this list. It starts off as a circle and then transforms itself into a square shape. There’s also a diagram for how to connect multiple squares of this pattern together in order to get a seamless look.
#11 Small Crochet Lace Square Pattern
In this pattern, you’ll be creating many crochet clusters, giving your work a floral/feminine feel. You can work until round 12, join other squares together, and then create the border. Or you can simply do what I did and create one square (I just continued after round 12 without cutting). The little triangle shapes in the diagram indicate a 3 chain picot.
#12 Japanese Crochet Square
In this square doily diagram, you will start by making a circular shape and then adding the four corners with double treble crochets (that’s a yarn over three times!). The small square is then framed with a double crochet mesh stitch pattern, followed by a floral looking lace stitch, with the final frame of the crochet square being 4 rounds of a ch4 mesh stitch.
This was a fun one to make, I sort of enjoy longer crochet doily patterns, as this one is a total of 20 rounds.
#13 Flowers and Leaves Square Pattern
The Flowers and Leaves Square Pattern is another floral doily. I do love the doilies that have mesh borders, I think the lace effect is beautiful. This pattern reminds me of two different flowers, one looked like tulips and the other in the corners looks like a dandelion to me. Very cool!
#14 Big X Square Doily
The Big X Square Doily is a large pattern that shows off the shape of an X in the middle. Make sure to pay close attention to the beginning center, as I got thrown off by the corners in rounds 2 and 3, but after that it works up beautifully and it looks so intricate and gorgeous.
#15 Crochet Square with Flowers Motif 1
Click to learn the Crochet Square with Flowers Motif 1 here.
This motif is a lace square with cute, six petaled flowers throughout. Unfortunately this pattern does not indicate a starting point or where to join. I found it easiest to start my starting chain near a corner. You’ll definitely need to block this square when you’re finished.
#16 Alternating Leaves Square
This is a neat square where you will be crocheting alternating leaves throughout. What’s cool about this pattern is that you could technically make it as big as you want.
#17 Crochet Clusters Square
You’ll crochet 5 double crochet clusters in a heart shaped pattern or maybe it’s a four leaf clover, I guess it could be seen either way! You’ll start with 8 single crochets separated by ch 1s inside a magic ring.
#18 Simple Crochet Flower Square Pattern
This simple crochet flower square shows off an eight petaled flower with leaves in each corner. There are 16 single crochets in a magic ring. Unfortunately this diagram doesn’t show starting chains or joins. I would just chain 1 for single crochets and do a chain 3 if I needed to start with a double crochet. All of the chain mesh stitches surrounding the flower should all be mostly ch 7s.
#19 Easy Lace Square
This easy lace square is short, sweet and simple. The chain 3s and single crochets break up the double crochets to form a cute diamond shape. This would be a great square pattern to use in order to sew many of them together to create a larger piece.
#20 Sunshine Square
I’m calling this one the Sunshine Square as the circular center reminds me of the sun’s rays! You’ll create the center of the sun by creating 3 double crochet clusters, followed by a few rows of chains, fans, and 5 treble crochets made together. The rest is a series of clusters, fans, and chains. I suggest blocking this piece after finishing as well.
#21 JP Crochet Square Doily
This free crochet doily is brought to you by JPCrochet. This square will have you crocheting 3 double crochets together, sprinkled throughout with most of the chains being a series of chain 5s. Make sure you pay attention to the number of chains you have as it’s easy to skip a chain or accidentally add an extra.
#22 Pineapple Flower Square
The Pineapple Flower Square displays a beautiful 8 petaled flower motif using a pineapple effect. This is a fairly large square, maxing out at 22 rounds.
#23 Daisy Lace Square
The Daisy Lace Square is a whopping 28 rounds long. This pattern shows off a total of 8 flowers in the corners of the square, with a mesh border. You’ll need to be able to crochet clusters as well as decreasing up to 6 stitches at a time for the tips of the petals. It’s a little hard to see the beginning center, but start with a chain 8, join to form a circle and then there are a total of 16 single crochets inside the circle for round 2. After that, it’s easier to see what is happening.
#24 Sun’s Rays Crochet Square
This is a very unique way to crochet a lacy square. You’ll have to cut your thread twice, but the diagonal mesh stitches remind me of the sun’s rays. You’ll definitely want to block with square when you’re done.
#25 Lunar Blossom Square Lace Motif
Another unique crochet square, the Lunar Blossom Square Lace Motif is a pattern by Ellej.org. It’s a tiny square that displays a flower in the bottom corner and then grows outward. She has a few examples of how you can use multiple squares for crochet clothing.
#26 Crochet Four Square Pineapples
Okay so this was a tricky pattern, not going to lie. You start from the middle and work your way out, and then after you finish the 7th round, you’ll cut your thread and work on each corner individually, this creates a pineapple effect with a 4 double crochet border surrounding each square.
#27 Circular Lace Square
This square has a lacy circle motif right in the center, surrounded by V stitches, and finished with a V stitch and picot combo border.
#28 Artistic Crochet Square
I thought the two lacy corners in this square gave it a very artsy look. It works up quickly and you can make multiple squares to create fabric for anything you’d like!
#29 Cross Square
This pattern has another cross motif in it. Start with a magic ring, ch 3, and make 15 double crochet. Place 2 double crochet in each stitch to grow the center and then the chart is clear from there. You’ll need to be able to double crochet 2 and 3 together, as this helps create the tips of the cross.
#30 Diamond Pineapple Square
This was a great pineapple doily to make. The pineapples are surrounded by a double crochet border, and that border creates a diamond effect. You’ll need to make a magic ring to start this pattern.
#31 Pinwheel Lace Square
The Pinwheel Lace Square is a whimsical little doily. It’s only 13 rounds long and the pinwheel effect is really cool! I definitely recommend blocking this doily once it’s finished.
#32 Stained Glass Square
This is a large crochet square doily at 33 rounds long. The center design reminds me a lot of how a stained glass window in a church looks. Ch 7, join to form a ring, make 12 single crochets in the ring and then you can go from there.
#33 Pretty Shell Corners Square
The Pretty Shell Corners Square is a simple, yet elegant doily pattern. In the corners of the square, you’ll be making a sort of shell or fan effect with a mesh on the sides. The border is also an intricate shell pattern built around a triangular mesh.
Ch 6. Sl st to form a circle, ch 3 and place 2 more double crochet. Make 3 more groups of 3 double crochets separated by ch 2s and then join.
Sometimes it’s hard to see the center of the crochet diagrams! Hopefully that helps.
#34 Simple Filet Crochet Square
I really liked this square doily because you’re using Filet crochet to make the center until round 6. At that round you’ll start going around the square instead of back and forth, this might be tricky for some, but the diagram does a really good job showing where to place your stitches.
It’s also a sort of mindless piece until you get to the border (which is great for me!). The border is a fan composed of 3 double crochet clusters and chains.
#35 Lacy Hearts Square Doily
The Lacy Hearts Square Doily shows off 4 heart shapes in the center and then a variety of different stitch combinations with a cute picot border to finish. I noticed that on round 7 the joins don’t seem to line up, so you can either cut your yarn and place it where the diagram is showing to start or you can be like me and wing it and continue from the original joins.
#36 Wheat Square Motif
This square doily is pretty neat. You start in the corner and go back and forth instead of around. You’ll start to see a design that reminds me of Wheat growing. Starting at round 13, you’ll need to slip stitch to get to the starting point or you can simply cut your yarn and move.
To start, you’ll ch 4 and place a double crochet into the first ch made, ch 3, and place 2 more double crochet into the same space.
This is a smaller square, so making multiples of these and sewing them together would make a lovely table cloth or even a curtain.
#37 Little Crowns Square
This crochet square doily is embedded with little crown shapes throughout. The Crowns are made by single crocheting into a space, ch 3, 4 treble crochets, ch 3 and then placing another single crochet, all in the same space.
And that’s it for this list of 37 Crochet Lace Square Patterns! I hope you were able to find a pattern that is beautiful and you enjoyed making. I enjoyed crocheting all of these myself and I hope you do too!
Until next time!
