Free Crochet Curtain Pattern: Step-by-Step Tutorial

Step 1: Measure and Plan Your Curtain

Measure your curtain rod and desired length. Plan evenly spaced vertical strands, alternating dark burgundy star motifs and smaller cream flowers. Lay out a sample strand on a table to determine spacing.

Step 2: Crochet the Burgundy Eight-Point Star

Ch 6 and join with a sl st to form a ring. Round 1: ch 3 (counts as first dc), work 15 dc into the ring, and join (16 dc). Round 2: repeat *ch 4, skip one dc, sl st in next dc* eight times, creating eight loops. Round 3: in each chain loop, work sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc, sc. Join and fasten off. This produces a decorative eight-point star flower.

Step 3: Crochet a Small Cream Flower

Ch 5 and join into a ring. Round 1: ch 1, work 10 sc into the ring, and join. Round 2: repeat *sl st into next sc, ch 3, 2 dc into next sc, ch 3, sl st into same sc* five times. Fasten off with a long yarn tail. These smaller flowers can sit between the larger burgundy motifs.

Step 4: Connect the Vertical Strands

Arrange the crocheted motifs on a flat surface. Join them securely with crocheted chains or sturdy cotton cord, leaving a consistent gap between shapes. You can add a wooden bead between motifs for a decorative touch. Sew all joins firmly and check that every motif stays in place. Avoid loose beads in homes where children or pets could reach them.

Step 5: Create Hanging Loops

At the top of each strand, chain approximately 20–26 stitches, or enough to fit your curtain rod. Secure the loop with multiple stitches. Keep all loops the same finished length for an even curtain.

Step 6: Add Burgundy Tassels

Wrap burgundy yarn around a 5–6-inch piece of cardboard about 25–35 times. Tie at one end, wrap yarn near the top to form the tassel head, and cut the bottom loops. Trim evenly and secure a tassel to the bottom of each strand.

Step 7: Hang and Adjust

Slide each loop onto the curtain rod, arranging strands evenly across your window. Check the final length, correct any twists, and reshape the crochet flowers. Keep hanging yarn away from stoves, candles, heaters, and open flames.

Color and Styling Ideas

• Burgundy and cream for a vintage cottagecore curtain.
• Terracotta and beige for warm bohemian decor.
• Sage green and ivory for a softer farmhouse look.
• Dusty rose and white for a romantic bedroom window.

Tips for a Beautiful Finished Curtain

• Block motifs lightly if your yarn allows it to reveal their shape.
• Make one complete sample strand before crocheting all motifs.
• Use a strong hanging cord or tight crochet joins.
• Check attachment points before hanging the entire curtain.
• Wash carefully according to the yarn label and let the motifs dry flat.
