Locutus! Isn't this just the most awesome name? I absolutely love the look of this crochet square! Locutus by Penny Davidson is the crochet piece that is made in black in the featured image. If you don't know where the name is coming from, you can read here about it. If you're a Star Trek fan, you probably knew the moment you read this pattern's name.
The pattern was based on some sample stitches from a retro pattern and uses their terminology, so although it’s probably not exactly how we’d write it nowadays it was certainly used by pattern writers of yesteryear.

The colorful crochet square underneath is made round. The Funky Doily potholder pattern by Annette Petavy is a square made in the round with a finished size of approximately 34×34 cm/13.5×13.5 inches square. Done in beautiful, bright colors and combined with the Locutus pattern done in black, creates a stunning crochet piece. Almost breathtaking!
This can be a doily, a tablecloth, a place-mat, a pillowcase or whatever you decide it to be. It all depends on which yarn you use, and how big you make it. (Source)

Locutus was the name given to Captain Jean-Luc Picard when he was abducted by the Borg and turned into a Borg on Star Trek the Next Generation! Just a bit of trivia!! LOL
Awesome!
Samantha Kathleen
How hard is it though
i was looking at this the other day. beautiful but looks like a lot of work
I have the book that pattern is in o.o
Very pretty
HERE IS THAT PATTERN i WANTED PRINTED OFF.

I’ve made this. The written pattern had MANY errors! You will just have to figure them out, as the author hasn’t made corrections.
Alanna Parke Kvale
Angie Fitzpatrick
OMG drooling
Swoon
Fallon Walker
Anyone else getting constantly kicked back??
Mary Dorn
This has been the most frustrating pattern to access. Why can’t you just link to the actual pattern instead of a page so ad heavy that it is difficult to navigate to the correct pattern link? I finally managed to get the locotus pattern, but am giving up on the rest. Very disappointed.
Nice
Each piece is made separately then sewed together. Looks nice.
What a sexy pattern!
I have tried several times to locate the full pattern with instructions without any luck. I have clicked on every link available. The closest I came was the overlay in white. We deserve to have accurate links with full instructions that are downloadable or able to pin to Pinterest. I feel soooo frustrated and disappointed because this block is so beautiful. I hope someone manages your page and actually reads your comments so you see all those, like myself, with the same issues.
Teresa, where it says:Locutus by Penny Davidson, please click the word Locutus. The pattern is always linked to the name of the pattern ( first letter capital and followed by the name of the designer). Also only one line under the name of the pattern. Hope this helps!
Hey, Becky Wagner, try this 1.
I,m tired of the run around of getting this pattern……so I give up! Why make it like a jig saw puzzle?
Me! Me! Me! Crrrrazyyyy!!
Linda Nicholia
This would be a awesome afghan
I found both patterns but the link to putting them together gives other information but no instructions?
Very Pretty
Shurene was this what you were looking for when we talked the other day?
BEAUTIFUL!!!

Thanks for the reminder. I’m making a cushion cover, and enlarged, this will be perfect. (if i can figure out how to make a rectangle out of the black part.
Christina Serviss.
wow, I have to try this.
That’s pretty
Wouldn’t this make an awesome afghan!
OH for pity sake! It took me half an hour to find the “white” version, without the background and now I can’t find the pattern for the background and how to put them together. It just can’t be this hard.
This is awesome!
This is awesome!

I tried to click on the word Locutus but the download is no longer there, can you please write the link??
Looks so beautiful. I hope it is easy to do
Before looking at the pattern it looks like you make two different ones then crochet then together.
You do.

Tika Brierley this is a cool one
Sharon Richens-Lizotte do you think this is the stained glass pattern that Anne talked about last week?
Love this
This is amazing!
Can’t get to the pattern, just want you to jump around everywhere. Would be nice if what gets posted is just simple and easy, not this other crap that takes forever and doesnt reveal anything.
Joanna, if you download this pattern please make a copy for me. The prrinter isn’t working Here. Needs to be be unplugged and plugged back in again:P and my back is saying, “I don’t think so. Thank you
gorgeous!
Wow!

The pattern should be easy to approximate by looking at the photo. Obviously the background is a dc crochet square in multiple colors or self striping. The overlay is a dc magic loop circle, then play with sections of dc and chaining to get a lacy pattern. Lay the one on top of the other and crochet them together with one round of dc or even sc. It’s pretty, but I’m not amazed – it was exactly what it looked like.
Beautiful
Genevieve Clark Miles
Wow, that’s absolutely awesome, gorgeous, amazing…….
I’ve downloaded and hooked this pattern several times. Honestly, it’s poorly written (or translated to English), so there are errors in it. You just have to pay attention. It helped to zoom in on the pic, to get it right. I’ve corrected my copy of the printed pattern.
It turns out quite lovely!
It works better in Caron simply soft yarn. Not so great for worsted weight like red heart.
It’s pretty, but why does even a crochet pattern need a clickbait title?!
Mez Zurakowski Broadhurst
Where can I get the written pattern for the background piece am new to crocheting and did it written to follow.
Pretty.
There is 2 different patterns (one for the black one and the other for the colorful one)
Here is the pattern instructions for the Locutus (black one)
