How to Crochet the Ruffle Stitch Photo Tutorial
The Ruffle Stitch crochet pattern is so much fun! They can add extreme texture to any design!
You can work crochet ruffle stitches in a variety of ways. This particular Ruffle Stitch is worked using double crochet stitches and lays all to one side of the fabric. Also, you may wish to make the ruffles quite dense as I will in this tutorial, or you may wish to experiment and spread the ruffles out a little.
What kinds of projects can you add ruffles? Almost anything! Add it as a fund fringe on a crochet blanket or in the middle as a pop of texture. They can add interest to crochet garments, tops and skirts. And there are so many more!

Notes
- This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial. You may work it in one colour or many. I will be working the stitch in a solid colour.
- To begin, make a slip knot and then a foundation chain. For your foundation chain you will need a multiple of three stitches, plus five for your foundation chain (3 + 5 stitches). For example, ch 26.
