I was a tween/teen in the 80’s (yes, I am that old) and I get nostalgic for the era of acid wash, shoulder pads, John Hughes films and New Wave music. As such, I am crocheting items that me remind of that quintessential time when our hair was big, our shoulders broad and safety pins were a fashion accessory. With this, I give you a taste of crochet patterns to come in my little quirky shoppe with the still popular Rubik’s Cube!

The pattern utilizes size 8 perle cotton crochet thread and a 1.0 mm hook.(finished Cube should be approximately 5.5” at widest point in each direction). Now, as with all of my thread based patterns, sizing up is not a problem. Just use heavier weight yarn and a corresponding hook that will give you a fairly tight fabric. Your Rubik’s Cube will be fit for a giant’s hands, but hey, I’m not going to judge you for wanting to crochet a larger than life Cube!

Directions use US crochet terminology and abbreviations and are appropriate for an experienced beginner and beyond. I will tell you that my patterns are written in a very traditional style. Meaning, if you can read a crochet pattern from the 1950’s or 1960’s, then you should have no problem reading in my patterns.

Show your love for the 80’s, decorate your holiday tree with Rubik’s Cubes or hey, just let people know that you love them by gifting them an unusual hand made ornament! Whatever your purposes for choosing this pattern, start crocheting some Rubik’s Cubes today!!
