Step-by-step guide

Step 1:

To start your textured stitch pattern, make a foundation chain with an even number of chain stitches.

Step 2:

In the first row, you'll work one single crochet into the second chain from the hook.

Step 3:

Then make one chain.

Step 4:

You'll skip the next chain, and work a single crochet into the chain that follows.

Step 5:

We'll now repeat this sequence to the end of the row:

• Make one chain.
• Skip the next foundation chain stitch.
• Then work a single crochet into the chain that follows.

Step 6:

To start the second row, turn your work, and make one chain stitch.

Top Tip: The turning chain at the beginning of the rows doesn't count as a stitch in this pattern.

Step 7:

Make one single crochet into the first stitch of the row.

Step 8:

Then make one chain stitch.

Step 9:

Insert your hook into the next chain space created in the row below.

Step 10:

Yarn over, and draw a loop through.

Step 11:

Insert your hook into the next chain space.

Step 12:

Yarn over, and draw a loop through. You will now have 3 loops on the hook.

Step 13:

Yarn over again, and draw a loop through all 3 loops.

Step 14:

Then make one chain stitch.

Step 15:

You'll now repeat the following steps until you reach the end of the row:

• Insert your hook into the same chain space you just worked in.
• Yarn over, and draw a loop through.
• Insert your hook into the next chain space, yarn over, and draw a loop through. You will now have 3 loops on the hook.
• Yarn over again, and draw a loop through all 3 loops.
• Then make one chain stitch.

Step 16:

When you reach the end of the row, make one single crochet.

Step 17:

Repeat the second row as many times as required to create your textured stitch pattern.
