20 Art Deco Crochet Patterns to Make
Geometric patterns, symmetry, and luxurious details. Rooted in the opulence of the 1920s and '30s, Art Deco blends elegance with a modernist flair through sleek lines, stylized motifs, and rich, ornamental textures.
Art Deco first emerged in the 1920s, right after World War I, as part of a cultural shift toward modernism and luxury. It was a reaction to the softer, ornate lines of the Art Nouveau movement, trading flowing florals for bold geometry, symmetry, and a sleek, industrial feel. Many of us think about the Chrysler Building in New York, Gatsby parties, metallics, and sunburst motifs.
The term actually comes from the 1925 Paris exhibition called The Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes.
This style showed up in architecture, fashion, furniture, jewelry, and textiles. And embraced in materials like chrome, glass, and Bakelite, but it also drew influence from ancient Egypt, Mesoamerican, and the Far East, creating a fusion of past and future, old-world opulence and modern machine-age aesthetics.
Art Deco really hit its stride through the 1930s, but by the 1940s, World War II brought in a shift toward more functional, less decorative design.
With this collection, we’re channeling that aesthetic with crochet patterns that echo the shapes, motifs, and textures of Deco design, from fan shapes and scallops to architectural lines and metallic threads. I’ll be separating them into three different categories: Home Decor, Accessories and Clothing. As always you can find all of the exact patterns on my blog which is linked in the description box below. Alright let’s get started.
Home Decor

It’s made with soft, chunky Bernat Roving yarn, the pattern features graphic Art Deco-inspired shapes in high contrast, which is perfect for making a stylish statement without complex stitches. The easy construction also makes it ideal for crocheters who want to dip their toes into intarsia colorwork.
Or create the Art Deco tiles by Black Sheep Crochet. This versatile overlay mosaic pattern is made up of repeatable tile motifs that combine into one stunning design. Inspired by the crisp angles and symmetry of Art Deco tilework, it’s perfect for afghans, rugs, or other home décor. The pattern uses medium-weight yarn and includes clear charts and instructions for confident crocheters. It’s a paid pattern on their website and it’s great that it has a right and left handed video tutorial to go with it.
Art Deco Towel by Kelsey Jane Design, see the pattern here.
Another great pattern is the Art Deco Kitchen Towel by Kelsey Jane Designs. It’s a paid pattern on Etsy and when finished it measures 9 inches by 18 inches which is a nice size for a kitchen towel. Using soft “I Love This Cotton” yarn in a pale dove color, the texture and tone give off a vintage yet modern vibe. It’s a small, satisfying project that wouldn’t take very long to create and would also make a thoughtful handmade gift.

I also liked this mosaic blanket by Loopy Skeins, and it’s friendly to crocheters who want to try out the mosaic technique as the only stitches needed are the single crochet and double crochet. There are four large designs included and the finished blanket measures 93 cm by 127 cm, and uses DK yarn. The layout flows in rhythmic, linear repeats that echo stained glass or wrought-iron grilles of the 1920s. It’s the perfect balance between elegance and coziness.

I also liked the Deco Mat by Lisa Hounshell. This one is a free pattern on Ravelry, and is more intermediate because it does use a few special stitches including the floating ring crochet, double treble crochet, load double crochet, load treble crochet, and restore double treble crochet.
