First I posted a Moss Stitch Shawl Pattern, then I posted a Moss Stitch in a Square Pattern, and I got lots of comments about how to use this same stitch but in a rectangle. Well here it is! Moss Stitch in a Rectangle using Caron Big Cakes Yarn! You get a lot of bang for your buck with this yarn. With just two balls, it makes a fairly good size blanket and I love all of the different variegated color combos available. The colors will naturally makes these stripes! Just keep crocheting in rounds and see the yarn work its magic!
Materials:
– 2 Balls of Caron Big Cakes Yarn. I am using Cherry Cake. See all 20 colors HERE on yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Clover Tassel Maker (optional)
Finished Size: approximately 30 x 36 inches
Moss Stitch = SC + chain 1
Corners = SC + chain 2 + SC
Pattern:
Chain 28, SC in the 4th chain from hook + chain 1, *skip a stitch, SC + chain 1 in next chain, repeat from * all the way down chain. When you get to the last chain make a SC + chain 2 + SC all in one chain.
Now working on the other side of the chain
SC + chain 2 + SC all in the first stitch, chain 1, skip a stitch, SC + chain 1 in next, skip a stitch, SC + chain 1 in next, repeat from * all the way down chain, until you get to the last chain, SC + chain 2 + SC in last chain. Do not join.
Round 2: Now working in the space where you first skipped 3 chains, SC + chain 2 + SC, chain 1, SC + chain 1 in each chain 1 space from the previous round, SC + chain 2+ SC in the corner, chain 1, SC + chain 2 + SC in the next corner, SC + chain 1 in all the chain 1 spaces from previous round, SC + chain 2 + SC in the corner, chain 1
Round 3 – 60: Continue to repeat pattern by SC + chain 2 + SC in all the corners and SC + chain 1 in all the chains from the previous round.
Continue pattern working in continuous rounds until it’s as large as you’d like!
When you are ready to fasten off, you will want to end in a corner. Slip stitch to join your yarn in any corner. Fasten off and weave in ends!
Add tassels to all 4 corners for a little extra flair!
Here is a video tutorial to help clear up any confusion!
Someone mentioned using it as a placemat! Love this idea!

Sarah, Thank you
If I wanted to make a blanket how many big cake should I buy. Would want about 40 by 60?
I am grateful to have opened this discussion. This question is quite interesting to me
What’s this ?
tablecloth ?
The pattern of towels you share is very beautiful. Many colors are very prominent. you are very skillful.
Thank you for this pattern! I am really enjoying making this blanket. I found that the corners were to rounded for my liking so I add a 3 rd chain on every corner and I’m finding that the corners are much sharper. Thank again for the inspiration!
I have tried this at home. It’s not difficult as I thought before and actually, I’m quite love my final product
I was wondering if its supposed to have that wave look. Mine looks like your picture with the “magic carpet” shape to it. How can i fix it if this is not what its supposed to look like.
I had this same issue, and I think it’s because the beginning start of the initial corners isn’t very clear (to me) on how to do it. I had to YouTube it and found this lady who shows how to do it. It’s still a little tricky but she’s very good in walking you through it, and even though I’m still in the beginning I can see my rectangle isn’t starting to do that wavy magic carpet look. My sides and corners are straight. She also shows you some tips and tricks.
Here’s the link to her video https://youtu.be/tE5O0QOMoaY
