Tapestry Crochet ABC Blocks Pattern

23/4/2015

Free Tapestry Crochet ABC Blocks Pattern by Rebeckah's Treasures
Welcome to Part 10 of the ABC blocks series!  

You're here because you have completed all your Tapestry Crochet ABC squares, OR you have a bunch of other crochet squares you wish to turn into baby blocks.

This tutorial will show how to do that via written instructions and a video tutorial.

Let's get started!


Free Tapestry Crochet ABC Blocks Pattern by Rebeckah's Treasures
This pattern is copyrighted to Rebeckah Ferger of www.rebeckahstreasures.com.  It is for personal use only.  No part of this pattern may be copied or distributed in any way.  If you sell what you make from this pattern, please credit me as the designer.  All rights reserved, 2015.

You'll Need:

  • 6 Crochet Squares per Block
  • cotton thread size 10 ( I use Circulo Clea) OR whatever yarn you used to make your squares
  • 1.9mm hook OR whatever hook size you used to make your squares
  • tapestry yarn needle
  • polyester fiberfil
  • Nylon Stockings *Optional (Use for Extra Security) Instructions for when to use will be highlighted thus: ***yada yada***

Abbreviations:
US Terms Used

     ch - chain
     f/o - fasten off
     rem - remaining
     rep - repeat
     sc - single crochet
     sl st - slip stitch
     st(s) - stitch(es)
     tog - together
     WS - wrong side

How to Turn Your Squares into Blocks:

Now that you have your squares finished, it’s time to put them all together.  

If you've been following this series, you should have 36 squares in total (26 letters from A to Z and 10 digits / numbers from 0 to 9).  

These will make 6 baby blocks.

*Use the following Diagram below to help with your squares’ positions on the block...

Step 1: Place Squares onto the diagram RS up according to your preference – This Diagram assumes you are using 3 background colours for your block.  Alternatively, use 1 or 6 background colours instead!

*If you look to the right, you will see each of the blocks list where you should place your letter / number squares onto the following diagram, so that you make the blocks with the same combination as pictured above... 

**You don't have to follow the list, unless you want to do so; you may prefer to place them in any order or combination you like!


How to assemble squares for blocks - via @beckastreasures
Block 1: 
  • Side 1 [square - A]
  • Side 2 [square - N]
  • Side 3 [square - V]
  • Side 4 [square - Q]
  • Top [square - L]
  • Bottom [square - #0]

Block 2: 
  • Side 1 [square - B]
  • Side 2 [square - U]
  • Side 3 [square - W]
  • Side 4 [square - #9]
  • Top [square - D]
  • Bottom [square - S]

Block 3: 
  • Side 1 [square - C]
  • Side 2 [square - Y]
  • Side 3 [square - R]
  • Side 4 [square - J]
  • Top [square - T]
  • Bottom [square - #8]

Block 4: 
  • Side 1 [square - #1]
  • Side 2 [square - F]
  • Side 3 [square - #4]
  • Side 4 [square - #6]
  • Top [square - H]
  • Bottom [square - E]

Block 5: 
  • Side 1 [square - #2]
  • Side 2 [square - #7]
  • Side 3 [square - Z]
  • Side 4 [square - M]
  • Top [square - X]
  • Bottom [square - O]

Block 6: 
  • Side 1 [square - #3]
  • Side 2 [square - #5]
  • Side 3 [square - I]
  • Side 4 [square - K]
  • Top [square - G]
  • Bottom [square - P]

Step 2: Starting with a slip knot in Focal Square Background Colour (or whatever colour you choose for the block’s edging), sc 13 tog across the side of squares that line up with the Yellow lines on the diagram – make sure WS are pressed tog, ch 1, f/o. Rep for Orange and Red Lines.

*The remaining lines / edges will be crocheted continuously.

Step 3: Starting with a slip knot in edging colour, *sc 13 tog across the side of the squares that line up with the Pink (1)line(s) on the diagram – again, make sure WS are pressed tog, sl st join to one of the edging corner sts available*. Rep from * to * for the next 7 lines by following the order and arrow directions on the Diagram – Purple (2), Blue (3), Aqua (4), Green (5) *no sl st required at the end of line 5 since it is the first time that corner is reached, Dark Green (6), Olive (7), Gray (8). 

*Make sure you tuck tails of squares and first edges inside the square as you crochet.

Step 4: Continuing in the same fashion as for Step 3, sc the first sts of the Brown (9) lines tog.  Pause here to stuff block before crocheting the block closed. ***Here’s where you’ll want to insert the nylon stocking (if using it). Insert one closed end of the stocking into the opening.  Wrap open ends of stocking around block to open it up*** Stuff your block until it is slightly bulgy. ***Close end of stocking, tuck into block*** Finish crocheting the rem sts tog to close block. Sl st join to one of the edging corner sts available, f/o and tuck in rem ends.

*Put more stuffing than you think it needs because over time the stuffing will condense. 

Step 5: Rep Steps 1-4 for rem blocks.

That’s all there is to it!
