How to crochet knitted motifs. How to crochet motifs
There are several ways to connect motifs. You can choose any of the methods - the one that you like best.
Now we will consider the seamless connection of square motifs.
First, let's take a look at the diagram: 
The main thing here is to follow the arrows. Let's put the ready-made motives face to face. We begin to tie the details with single crochets, alternating squares with a red and yellow edge. Whatever way you connect the motifs, it is very important not to tighten or stretch the edges, otherwise the whole product will turn out to be deformed. 
I would also like to take a closer look at which loop to insert the hook into when connecting parts. Look at the photo: 
Usually, motifs are connected by external half-loops, that is, as shown in the photo.
However, motifs can also be connected with connecting posts. But in this case, a line appears at the junction yellow color(in the case of a square with a yellow edge). 
I liked the first way better. True, it should be noted that when connecting motifs with single crochets, a certain thickening is formed between the squares. But in my opinion, it does not spoil the product, it makes it embossed. 
The finished blanket will need to be steamed with an iron. It's okay if some of the squares are slightly deformed during the connection (for example, they begin to "bubble"). After ironing, this problem usually disappears.

Crochet motifs. 
There are several ways to connect motifs:
knitting the last row of the motive behind the arches from air loops;
connecting the last row with "picot";
stitching motifs with a needle;
connecting motifs closely with columns;
crocheting an additional row, etc.
Consider the most common ways to crochet motifs.
The first way: continuous knitting or joining motifs closely. 
The second way: knitting the last row of the motif for arches from air loops. 
The third way: connecting the last row with the help of "pico". 
The fourth way: stitching motifs with a needle for half loops of the last row. 
Fifth method: stitching motifs with a needle for the loops of the last row. 
Sixth method: crocheting motifs by knitting a series of connecting posts for half loops. 
Seventh method: connection by knitting an additional row with a mesh. 
Other connection methods:

Having imposed the required number of small squares for the plaid, let's start connecting them. 
From motive 1 we knit 3 air loops.
Next - 3 air loops in motive 2, 2 double crochets. 
Next - 3 double crochets in the 1st motive. 
And continue connecting the motifs with 3 double crochets until the end of both motifs. 
First, connect the motifs in horizontal stripes. 
And then connect the horizontal strips in the same way. 
This connection method is much easier than the others (and much more profitable than stitching - the canvas increases in volume).

Connecting motifs with semi-columns. 
Meet - this is a way to connect motifs with the help of half-columns. And no matter which side you look at this connection, it has some pluses. Well, just some perfection! The seam is very even and looks very decorative. In all its glory, the connection looks if you use a thread of a contrasting color for it. However, the thread of the same color as the motif also fits perfectly into the pattern. In addition to these advantages, there are others - this connection is moderately embossed and will satisfy knitters with different tastes.
So, we connected one square. Now we knit the second. In the last row we knit the loops of 2 squares and the corresponding loops of the first square.
That is, we “reached” the first junction, hooked the first motive with a single crochet, knitted according to the scheme to the middle of the side, again hooked the first motive with a single crochet, knitted the side together with the first motive to the end, again hooked the first motive with a single crochet. Further, the motive is knitted to the end. 
Knitting the square of the bottom row, we already connect 2 of its sides. All this while knitting a motive. 
Pay attention to the connection of the corners of the square motifs. 
Connection points are usually indicated in the diagrams. These are single crochets or half-columns.
If you knit without a pattern, then it is advisable to connect two motifs, attach them to each other and think over in advance the places of their connection. Three connections are enough: at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the side of the square, i.e. motive.

"One of the ways to connect squares. MK in the photo."
Written by Zelna Olivier. 
I haven't seen many projects tied this way - but it's one of my favorite ways to join, especially for granny squares, where it just adds an extra pattern. The squares are connected from the wrong side, the desired effect is obtained from the front side.
Three ways to connect motifs - crochet
IN Lately plaids connected from motifs have gained great popularity. It is not difficult to knit them, and the beauty and comfort that they create in the house is difficult to replace with anything else.
However, a good blanket should be distinguished not only by external beauty, but also by good functionality. It should be cozy, warm, soft and at the same time maintain an elegant and neat appearance with constant use for its intended purpose.
To achieve this, you need to know a few simple rules, namely: how to choose the right yarn for a plaid, and how to neatly and securely connect motifs together when knitting it.
This is exactly what the wonderful master class of Elena Bozhkova is dedicated to, with which I want to introduce you.
“Due to numerous questions, I decided to collect methods for connecting motifs in one post, and also tell you what yarn and hooks I choose for knitting blankets. I warn you, my opinion is personal, it is based only on my preferences and personal experience, and of course, may differ from yours.
There are a great many methods for connecting motives, but I will only talk about those that have been personally tested by me.
First way: in advance related motives are interconnected by ordinary single crochet posts at the edges of both parts (motives)
According to this principle, the motifs of the following plaids presented in the photographs are connected:
Second way: Very similar to the first, the connection of motifs also occurs with single crochets, but only the motifs are connected behind the back walls of the loops, in this case the connection is flatter ...
Here is a visual connection in this way:
Third way: motifs are connected to each other in the process of knitting, with single crochets in the last row of the attached element
The products shown in the photographs below are connected in this way:
Now about yarn and hooks :) Attention! My personal opinion, it is based only on my preferences and personal experience, and of course, may differ from yours. Personally, I do not advise choosing woolen, half-woolen yarn, etc. for knitting blankets and bedspreads. Products made from them are not durable and unpredictable in products such as blankets, bedspreads and pillows, pellets often appear if the products are used for their intended purpose, and not for beauty :). It is better to stop, in my opinion, on cotton with the addition of acrylic. Natural cotton is also not bad, but the acrylic in the composition of the yarn contributes to the fact that the product is more wear-resistant and does not deform. I also like to knit blankets from special acrylic yarn for babies. The yarn, according to the manufacturer, undergoes anti-allergic treatment and can be used for children of any age. It is very soft, light and warm.
All the yarn from which my blankets are knitted, I checked by washing in washing machine on the “wool” or “delicate” mode, using a liquid for washing woolen and delicate fabrics. Products are not deformed and did not shed. Dryer unfolded in a horizontal position. Also, ironing is possible - through the iron, using steam.
Regarding the choice of the hook number ... I, most often, when knitting blankets, use No. 3, No. 3.5. But it all depends on the thickness of the yarn you choose.
I hope I've been helpful to you."

How to crochet motifs
Crocheted products sometimes consist of separate motifs: squares, triangles, circles, hexagons, openwork flowers. Therefore, you need to know several ways to connect crochet motifs in order to successfully complete the work and admire the fruits of your creativity.
How to crochet square motifs
To create blankets, capes, ponchos, separate parts are used, connected in the form of a square. They are knitted using different patterns and colored yarns. In the end, small elements need to be turned into one finished canvas. You can do this in two ways:
With a hook
With a needle
The method of fastening individual parts will depend on the purpose and type of web, but almost always the connection occurs on the front side. The loops should be even, neat and the same in tension, then from the individual parts you will get a symmetrical and high-quality thing. If the motifs are made in a dense pattern, then they are fastened with single crochets, which are obtained from the last rows of two separate motifs. For openwork elements, a connection made from a column with one or more crochets is suitable.
Connection of openwork motifs
Openwork motifs used when knitting a jacket, skirt, shawl, tablecloth cannot be connected with a tight, rough seam. In such cases, fastening with a sirloin net, air loops is suitable.
The product will be distinguished by lightness and grace, if for its implementation 
use ready-made openwork motifs sewn to the base mesh, knitted separately. It consists of cells obtained by alternating two air loops and a double crochet. After the mesh of the desired size is ready, it can be connected to the motifs and tied around the edges with a border.
Openwork elements are also connected with air loops or cords obtained by knitting a row of air loops in the opposite direction. Bonding occurs on the basis of the features and form of motives.
In addition to openwork motifs, knitted item can decorate various patterns such as zigzags, behind the arch and pico. It is enough just to connect various motives with these elements.
Connection of motifs in a zigzag, behind arches, pico
Here are a few more options for how to connect crocheted motifs:
Master class on connecting motifs from Efimiya Andreevsky.
Here is our reader's comment on the connection of motives in the last row: "... how is it? .." Therefore, I decided to show how to connect motives with each other. Maybe it will help someone, because we once started with the ABC.
Motifs are knitted from cotton thread "Maxi", hook 0.75. The motifs are connected in different colors, so that the connection between them is better seen. We knit a motif according to the scheme:
The arrows in the diagram show the junctions of other motifs. 1st row. We knit 6 air. loops, we close the loop in the ring. 2nd row. Air lifting loop, 12 tbsp. single crochet, conn. loop in air lifting loop. 3rd row. From each st. without a crochet of the last row we knit on a lush st. from 3 columns with two crochets + 5 air loops.
We knit the first lush st. like this: 5 air. loops +2 tbsp. with 2 crochets; We close all the loops from the hook in one go. After the 12th Art. we knit two air. loops + 1 st with 1 yarn over according to the scheme. Further, the scheme is slightly modified. 4th row. According to Art. with one crochet we knit 3 tbsp. without nak. Further on all the arches from 5 air. loops knit 5 tbsp. without a crochet. In the last arch of 2 air. loops knit 2 tbsp. without nak. We close a number of connections. loop. 5th row. * 6 air. loops and transition to another arch: art. with 1st nak., 5 air. loops and st. without a crochet in the next arch. From * to * - repeat following the pattern. We are finishing a series of connections. loop. The 1st motive is ready. (Photo-1). We knit the 2nd motive and proceed to the connection of the 2nd motive to the 1st. 
Motives can be connected in the process of their implementation: Starting from the second motive, when knitting the last row, attach the motive that is being performed to others previously connected.
Connection in the last row of dense motifs:
The connection is made with a hook while knitting the last row. Knit the first motif (detail) completely, break the thread, tuck in the ponytails.
Knit the next motive (detail), reach the side that needs to be attached. Link the column of the last row fig.1. Pull the hook out of the loop, crochet under the pigtail of the part to be attached, which is opposite fig.2, grab the left loop from the column of the second part fig.3, pull the loop out from under the pigtail fig.4, link the next column fig.5, repeat all steps (Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Front connection view fig.6, from the wrong side fig.7. For an example of such a connection, see Hook - Models - Socks 31.
Connection in the last row of openwork motifs:
The connection is made with a hook while knitting the last row. If openwork motifs are connected in dense areas, then the connection method described above can be used.For an example of such a connection, see Hook - Models - Shawls - Model 101.
If openwork motifs (details) are connected in sections of chains of air loops, it is necessary to tie the first motif (detail) completely, break the thread, fill the tails.
Knit the next motive (detail) to the point where the motives are connected. Motives, as a rule, are connected in the center of chains of air loops. You need to knit half the loops of the chain, then insert the hook under the arch from the air loops of the first motive fig.8, capture working thread, pull out the loop fig.9, grab a working thread fig.10, pull through two loops on the hook (= single crochet), continue to knit the rest of the arch with chain loops. Similarly, attach the motif at other points. A single crochet can be replaced with a connecting post.
Pay attention to connecting several motifs at one point fig.13. For example, connecting four squares in the corner.
When connecting the third motive in the corner, insert the hook under the threads formed by a single crochet when connecting the second motive fig.11.
When connecting the fourth motive in the corner, insert the hook under the threads formed by a single crochet when connecting the third motive fig.12.
You can not connect the first, second, third motifs in the corner. Perform the connection when knitting the fourth motive: enter sequentially into the corner of the first, then the second, then the third motive, perform the connection.
For an example of a mixed connection, see Hook - Models - Shawls - Model 107, Model 164..
