Crochet Creative: Sunrise Crochet Stitch

The sunrise crochet stitch is a lace crochet stitch that reminds me of the rising sun. This crochet stitch is an openwork stitch. Through the strategic use of chains and stitches we create open spaces that add visual appeal to any project.

Without further ado let’s learn the Sunrise crochet stitch.

Stitches and Abbreviations

ch – chain

sc – single crochet

dc – double crochet

sk – skip

If you start with a chain, you will need multiples of 8+2, 3 turning chain.

If, however, you start with foundation stitches you will only need multiple of 8+2.

Row(1): dc, for this sample I’ve used 18 dc, ch3 and turn.

Row 2. Dc in next st, * ch3, sk2, sc, ch3, sc in next st, ch3, sk2, dc in next 2 sts; repeat from * to end of row, ch3 and turn.

Row 3. Dc, ch1, 4dc in ch3 space between sc, ch1, dc; repeat from * to end of row, ch3 and turn.

Row 4. Dc, *ch2, sk ch and 1dc, dc in next 2 sts, ch2, sk ch space, dc in next 2 sts; repeat from * to end of row, ch3 and turn.

Repeat rows 1 – 4 however many times you like for your pattern.
