Tip:

To ensure your Celtic knots stand out, use a contrasting color for the knotwork against a solid background to highlight the intricate details.

Materials Needed:

• Scissors
• Darning needle
• Crochet hook (4 mm)
• Four different colors of #4 weight worsted weight acrylic yarn

Instructions:

Creating the Oval Components:

• Start with your first color of yarn.
• Create a slip knot and chain 36.
• Double crochet (DC) into the fourth chain from the hook.
• In the next stitch, make 4 DCs.
• DC once into each of the next 16 stitches.
• In the next stitch, make another 4 DCs.
• DC once into each of the next 14 stitches.
• Pull up a loop and tie off, leaving ends for sewing.
• Repeat the above steps using the second color of yarn.

Creating the Circle and Joining:

Switch to your third color of yarn.

• Create a slip knot and chain 28.
• Slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle.
• Chain 3 (counts as first DC). DC into the next stitch.
• Make 4 DCs into the next stitch.
• DC once in each of the next 6 stitches.
• Repeat the pattern two more times: “4 DCs in one stitch, 1 DC in the next 6 stitches”.
• Slip stitch into the top of the initial chain 3 to join.
• Tie off, leaving ends long for weaving.

Integrate the oval pieces:

• Overlap the ovals and the circle according to the video instructions using the darning needle to sew them together at designated points to form knots and intersections.

Creating a Square Frame:

Switch to your fourth yarn color.

• Attach yarn to a corner of the assembled piece.
• Chain 3, then work 2 DCs, chain 2, and 2 more DCs in this corner.
• Continue around the piece, working DCs in a pattern and creating corners with “2 DCs, chain 2, 2 DCs”.
• Complete each side of the square by chaining and linking back to the start with a slip stitch.

Final Touch:

Continue to expand the square by adding rows.

• Start each row with a chain 3, follow the pattern to lay DCs along the sides, and maintain corner configurations.
• Work through several rounds to expand the square until the desired size is reached.
• Attach the layers and loops as necessary to maintain the Celtic knot design.

Finish off:

• Weave in all ends with the darning needle.
• Block your piece if desired.
