State of Pennsylvania Crochet Pattern

As most of you know, I am from Pennsylvania. I have always wanted to create a pattern for my home state. I can now officially say that there is a PA state crochet pattern!

This state crochet pattern is perfect for those of you that live in PA, have relatives that live there or just want to make this as a gift for someone you know from there and even as a teaching tool.

I am excited for you to make this pattern! Enjoy and…

Happy Crocheting!

The Stitches You’ll Need to Know to Make PA

Mostly on purpose, I used basic beginner stitches for this whole pattern. The bulk of the pattern is made in single crochets (sc) but there are a few half double crochets, double crochets and slip stitches thrown in!

No worries, though! I will link up each stitch below, plus there is also a full video tutorial of this pattern that will help!

Stitches you’ll need to know:

• Single Crochet Stitch
• Half Double Crochet Stitch
• Slip Stitch
• Double Crochet Stitch

The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Crochet Pattern

I highly recommend Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand for this particular pattern. Vanna’s is a worsted weight four yarn that is available in MANY colors, so you will have great variety to pick from.

For my home state PA I used the color rust. It is the perfect burnt orange color and will look perfect for what I have in mind for this appliqué.

The PA State Crochet Pattern Steps

To Start: Ch 12

Row 1: In the second ch from the hook sc, sc into each ch across, turn. (11)

Row 2: Ch 1, sc into the first st, sc into each st across, turn. (11)

Row 3: Ch 1, sc into the first st, sc into each st across leaving one st. sc 2x into the last st, turn. (13)

Row 4: Ch 1, sc 2x into the first st (where I am pointing below), sc into each st across, turn. (15)

Row 5: Ch 1, sc into the first st, sc into each st across 12 times. Leave three empty stitches, turn. (12)

Row 6: Ch 1, sc into the next 12 stitches, turn. (12)

Row 24: Ch 1, sc into the first st, hdc, dc, dc, hdc, sl st, hdc, dc, dc, hdc, hdc, sc.

Finishing: Fasten off, and use a yarn needle to securely weave in the ends of the project.

Blocking: More than likely this project will need blocked. I wet blocked and then laid in the book overnight to flatten. Learn more about blocking in my blog post about blocking crochet pieces.
