Crochet Pentagon Pattern

Pentagon is one of the basic geometric shapes that I would recommend learning how to crochet as you may decide to make a lacy-style pet blanket by joining multiple pentagons together. You can also make a nice pot holder by attaching a ring hanger at one of the pentagon angles. I have made a regular pentagon (e.g. all sides have an equal length) using double crochet stitch. The small gaps are formed along the lines that divide a pentagon into equally-sized triangles and in the very middle of it. Enjoy crocheting the pentagon!

Pentagon crochet pattern:

Round 1: Ch 6, join to form a circle. Work in circle: Ch3 (count as 1 dc), 2 dc, ch2, [3 dc, ch2] – repeat 4 times, sl st in top of beginning ch-3.

Round 2: Ch3, dc in next 2 dc, (dc, ch2, dc) – in first ch-2 space, [dc in next 3 dc, (dc, ch2, dc) – in next ch-2 space] – repeat 4 times, sl st in top of beginning ch-3.

Round 3: ch 3, dc in next 3 dc, (dc, ch2, dc) – in first ch-2 space, [dc in next 5 dc, (dc, ch2, dc) – in next ch-2 space] – repeat 4 times, dc, sl st in top of beginning ch-3.

Round 4: ch 3, dc in next 4 dc, (dc, ch2, dc) – in first ch-2 space, [dc in next 7 dc, (dc, ch2, dc) – in next ch-2 space] – repeat 4 times, dc in next 2 dc, sl st in top of beginning ch-3.

Continue increasing in this manner until pentagon reaches desired size.
