Materials Needed

  • Yarn: Any yarn of your choice. For a sturdy “M” that keeps its shape, use medium-weight yarn or thicker. I have used a 4 ply acrylic yarn.
  • Crochet Hook: Use the hook size recommended on your yarn’s label. For tighter stitches and a firmer shape, go a hook size smaller. I have used a 3 mm hook.
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry Needle: For weaving in the ends.

Stitches & Abbreviations

  • ch: Chain
  • sc: Single Crochet
  • sc2tog: Single Crochet 2 Together
  • sc4tog: Single Crochet 4 Together
  • sc5tog: Single Crochet 5 Together
  • sl st: Slip Stitch
  • inc: Increase (work 2 single crochets in the same stitch)

Instructions for Crochet Pattern:

Pattern for the Letter “M”

We’ll be making two identical pieces of the letter “M” and then joining them together to create a thicker, more defined shape. Follow each step carefully to achieve the correct shape.

Step 1: Create the First Row

  1. Foundation Row: Start by chaining 37.
  2. Row 1:
    • Begin with the second chain from the hook.
    • Then work 1 single crochet (sc) in each of the first 9 chains.
    • Single Crochet 5 Together (sc5tog): This stitch will help shape the “V” of the “M.”
    • Then work 1 sc in each of the next 3 chains.
    • In the next chain, increase by working 2 sc in the same chain.
    • Then chain 2.
    • In the next chain, increase again by working 2 sc.
    • Then work 1 sc in each of the next 3 chains.
    • Single Crochet 5 Together (sc5tog).
    • Work 1 sc in each of the last 9 chains.
    • Finally chain 1 and turn.

Step 2: Shape the Letter

  1. Row 2:
    • Work 1 sc in each of the first 7 stitches.
    • Then single Crochet 4 Together (sc4tog).
    • Then work 1 sc in each of the next 3 stitches.
    • In the next stitch, work 2 sc to increase.
    • Then chain 2.
    • In the next stitch, work 2 sc.
    • Then work 1 sc in each of the next 3 stitches.
    • Single Crochet 4 Together (sc4tog).
    • Work 1 sc in each of the last 7 stitches.
    • Finally, chain 1 and turn.
  2. Make Two Pieces:
    • Repeat these steps to create a second identical piece of the letter “M.”
    • For the first piece, after completing the last ch1, cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
    • For the second piece, do not cut the yarn – you’ll continue to crochet the border.

Step 3: Joining the Pieces and Adding the Border

Now that you have two pieces, we’ll place them on top of each other and join them using a border. This border will add structure to the letter, making it sturdier and more defined.

Inner Border

  1. Place both pieces together, lining up the edges.
  2. Begin with single crochet stitches, working through both layers.
  3. Follow this sequence:
    • Work 1 sc in each of the first 7 stitches.
    • Then single Crochet 2 Together (sc2tog).
    • Then work 1 sc in each of the next 4 stitches.
    • In the ch2 space from the previous row, work (1 sc, ch1, 1 sc).
    • Then work 1 sc in each of the next 4 stitches.
    • Single Crochet 2 Together (sc2tog).
    • Then work 1 sc in each of the first 7 stitches.
    • After that work 1 sc in the lower stem of the “M” (refer to a video if needed for guidance on the shape).

Outer Border

  1. Now, move on to the outer edge of the letter “M”:
    • Work 1 sc in each of the next 11 stitches.
    • Then in each of the next 2 stitches, work an increase by crocheting 2 sc in each.
    • Work 1 sc in each of the next 4 stitches.
    • Then single Crochet 2 Together (sc2tog).
    • Work 1 sc in each of the next 4 stitches.
    • Then in each of the next 2 stitches, make an increase by working 2 sc in each.
    • Work 1 sc in each of the next 11 stitches.
    • Then work 1 sc in the other lower stem of the “M.”
    • Slip stitch into the first single crochet to join.
    • Finally chain 1, cut the yarn, and weave in any loose ends.

Tips for Customizing Your Crochet “M”

  • Experiment with Color: Use two colors for each layer or add a contrasting border to make the letter pop!
  • Add Embellishments: After completing the letter, you could sew on beads, or embroider initials or symbols.
  • Turn It into a Keychain or Applique: For smaller letters, use thinner yarn and a smaller hook. These can be great additions to hats, scarves, or backpacks.

Final Thoughts

Crocheting letters can seem challenging at first, but with a little practice, you’ll have a beautiful “M” ready to add to your project. This pattern works well for creating monograms, personalizing items, and so much more. Try making other letters to spell out names or words!

Happy crocheting!
