This crochet pentagon pattern isn’t a stitch per se, more along on the lines of a granny square but, it’s a pentagon.
They’re just as versatile as granny squares, but they give you a lot more flexibility on what you can make by combining them.
I mixed the crochet pentagon pattern with some granny squares in this top below. It gives you an idea of the limitless possibilities this combo can create. As you can see, I played around with the colors, which is something else that makes these squares and pentagons so fun.
I used Alize Bella sport weight yarn from Perfect yarn shop for this top, in case you’re wondering.
I also made this top using just the crochet pentagon pattern, so you can see it also holds up just fine on it’s own and then some. It only took 4 pentagons and two classic colors of black and white to make this top and I think it’s super cute, I love it.
I used paintbox aran/medium weight yarn from Lovecrafts for the black and white top.
