Hello crocheter!! Here\u2019s a clear, step-by-step text tutorial<\/strong> you can crochet right away that reproduces the \u201cTile Patterned Multipurpose Lace\u201d<\/em> style from Crochet with Nese: a floral medallion that converts to a square tile<\/strong> you can join into runners, shawls, blouses or home pieces. I give exact round instructions, stitch counts to check after each round, join methods (JAYG + sew-after), blocking, troubleshooting and quick variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Round 1 \u2014 Center (foundation)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Make a magic ring<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. ch 3 (counts as dc). Work 15 dc<\/strong> into the ring. (ch-3 + 15 dc = 16 dc<\/strong>.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Pull ring closed. sl st to top of ch-3 to join.
        Check:<\/strong> 16 dc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Round 2 \u2014 Loop foundation (petal bases)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        1. ch 4, skip next dc, sc in next dc<\/em> \u2014 repeat around.\n
            \n
          • You\u2019ll create 8 ch-4 loops<\/strong> separated by sc. Join with sl st.
            Check:<\/strong> 8 ch-4 spaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Round 3 \u2014 Puffy petals (8 petals)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. In each ch-4 space work (sc, hdc, 7 dc, hdc, sc)<\/strong> \u2014 all into the same ch-4 sp.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Sl st into the next ch-4 space and repeat for all 8. Join.
              Check:<\/strong> 8 prominent petals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Round 4 \u2014 Tidy base round (sc round)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Rejoin between petals. Work sc<\/strong> evenly around the petal bases to make an even circular boundary. Aim for ~10 sc per petal area (adjust \u00b11\u20132 so motif lies flat). Join with sl st.
                Check:<\/strong> smooth circular edge (not cupped or ruffled).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                Round 5 \u2014 Large chain arches (lacy frame)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. From each petal tip: sl st to outer tip \u2192 ch 7 \u2192 anchor into the sc round between the next petals with (tr, ch 2, tr, ch 2, tr) worked into that sc or small space \u2192 sl st to next petal tip.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Repeat around to form 8 large arches<\/strong>. (If ch-7 feels too long\/short for your yarn\/hook, use ch-6 or ch-8.) Join.
                  Check:<\/strong> 8 equally spaced arches.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \n\n\n\n

                  Round 6 \u2014 Decorative ribs inside arches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Into each ch-arch work: sl st into arch base \u2192 ch 3 \u2192 dc into top of first tr \u2192 ch 1 \u2192 dc into top of middle tr \u2192 ch 1 \u2192 dc into top of last tr \u2192 ch 3 \u2192 sl st into arch base.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Repeat for all 8 arches. (Simpler alternative: 3 dc separated by ch-1 inside each arch.) Join.
                    Check:<\/strong> each arch has 3 inner ribs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    Round 7 \u2014 Convert circle \u2192 square (side loops & corner loops)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. Mark four quarter points (every 2 petals = 90\u00b0 apart). Rejoin at a quarter marker.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    2. Work along side between corners: sc X, (sc, ch 4, sc) repeated Y times, sc X<\/em> then ch 6<\/strong> for corner loop. Important: make the same X and Y on all four sides<\/strong> so tiles match when joined.\n
                        \n
                      • Example practical distribution (adjust for your size): sc 10, (sc, ch 4, sc) \u00d7 3, sc 10 \u2192 ch 6 corner \u2192 repeat next side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Join and fasten off (or continue if you want to add edging).
                        Check:<\/strong> tile now has 4 corner ch-6 loops and evenly spaced side loops \u2014 blocks to a square.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                        \n\n\n\n

                        Round 8 \u2014 Outer scallop & picot finish<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        1. Rejoin and work the final decorative edge around the outer side-loops: sc 3, (pic: ch 3, sl st into same st), sc 4<\/em> \u2014 adjust sc counts so scallops lie flat across each side element.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        2. Place picots at regular intervals for the dotted look. Join, fasten off, weave in ends.
                          Check:<\/strong> scallops\/picots even; tile lies flat after blocking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                          \n\n\n\n

                            \n
                          • Pin tile to blocking board\/towel into a square. Stretch corner loops outward to create crisp corners and pin every picot to sharpen the scallop. Mist with water or steam lightly and allow to dry fully. Blocking is essential<\/strong> \u2014 it turns the round medallion into a neat square tile and makes joins accurate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                            How to join tiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                            Option A \u2014 Join-As-You-Go (JAYG) \u2014 recommended for flat seams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
                            1. Crochet first tile completely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            2. For each new tile, work through Round 7 and begin Round 8 (outer scallop). When you reach a spot that corresponds to a finished adjacent tile, replace that sl st or the stitch used for the scallop with a sl st into the corresponding stitch or picot of the finished tile<\/strong>. Continue the scallop and join at each corresponding point (side loops and corners).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            3. JAYG attachment points: the side ch-4 loops and the corner ch-6 loops. This produces neat, nearly invisible joins and saves sewing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                              Option B \u2014 Sew-after method (block then sew)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                                \n
                              1. Make and block all tiles. Pin them in desired layout on blocking board.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              2. Use a tapestry needle & matching yarn to whipstitch or mattress-stitch through the side loop\/sc rounds (or use a single crochet join around outer loops if you prefer a visible border). This gives you flexibility in placement before final joining.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                                \n\n\n\n

                                Project layouts & counts (quick guide)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                Measure your blocked tile width M<\/strong> exactly, then compute counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Example (M \u2248 12 cm):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  \n
                                • Narrow runner (1 \u00d7 N): for 120 cm runner length \u2192 N = 10 tiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • Runner wider (2 \u00d7 N): width = 2 \u00d7 12 = 24 cm; choose N length accordingly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • Shawl rectangle: 6 \u00d7 10 tiles \u2192 ~72 \u00d7 120 cm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • Blouse (front panel S): 3 \u00d7 3 motifs per panel (adjust rows for length); two panels for front\/back or join-as-you-go to make one continuous piece and leave neck\/armholes open.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                                  \n\n\n\n

                                  • After joining: work 1 round sc around the whole assembled piece for stability, then add a scallop\/picot round to match tile edges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  • For blouse hems: add 1 round dc to add weight so garment hangs nicely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  • For runner\/table: press & starch (cotton) after blocking for crispness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                    • Tile cups upward:<\/strong> loosen tension or use a larger hook for petals\/arches; block strongly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                    • Tile ripples\/ruffles:<\/strong> reduce chain length in arch round (ch-6 instead of ch-7) or remove a couple of sc from tidy base round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                    • Tiles don\u2019t line up when joining:<\/strong> ensure Round 7 side loop counts (X and Y) are identical on all tiles before joining. Count stitches per side before joining.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                    • Joins gap:<\/strong> add an extra sl st into the join point or use a tight whipstitch if sewing. JAYG is easiest when tiles are blocked before joining.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                    • Tile too big \/ small:<\/strong> change yarn weight or hook; increase petal dc (7\u21929) and arch chains (ch-8\/9) for larger tile; decrease for smaller.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                      • More open lace:<\/strong> lengthen arch chains (ch-8\/9) and use tr instead of dc for ribs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • Denser tile (for runner):<\/strong> shorten arch chains and replace dc ribs with hdc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • Beaded tiles:<\/strong> add small beads on arch ribs or at picots for sparkle (slide bead onto yarn before crocheting and work bead into stitch).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
