Type a link, a message or your Wi-Fi details and get a crochet QR code chart that phones can scan, with C2C or row-by-row instructions and a printable PDF.
How to crochet a QR code
- Make the chart above, then scan it on screen to check it opens the right thing.
- C2C for big pieces: turn on C2C under Rows to get corner-to-corner row counts. Each tile is one QR square.
- Tapestry single crochet for small pieces: carry the unused colour inside your stitches so the squares stay solid.
- Keep the plain border of 4 squares in the light colour all the way round.
- Block it flat and scan. A phone reads a slightly uneven code, but not one that is folded or puckered.
Ideas for a crochet QR code
- A C2C blanket or wall hanging with your Wi-Fi password.
- A tapestry crochet bag or market sign that links to your shop.
- A gift that opens a recorded message, a playlist or a photo album.

Questions
Can you crochet a QR code that scans?
Yes. Each square of the code becomes one stitch (or one C2C tile). With strong contrast and the plain border kept, phones read crocheted QR codes well.
Which crochet technique works best?
Corner to corner (C2C) is the most popular: every tile is one QR square, so the code comes out crisp and square. Tapestry crochet in single crochet works for smaller, denser pieces. Both use the same chart.
How big will a C2C QR code be?
A short link is about 29 to 37 tiles across. In C2C with worsted yarn each tile is roughly 1 inch, so the code is about 29 to 37 inches: blanket sized. Tapestry single crochet makes it much smaller.
What yarn should I use?
Smooth yarn in two strongly contrasting colours, like black and white or navy and cream. Avoid fluffy or variegated yarn.
Is it free?
Yes. Crochet QR code charts up to 80 × 80 stitches download free, with row-by-row and C2C instructions.
