How to Crochet the Gridlock Stitch Photo Tutorial

The Gridlock Stitch is a stitch pattern that is quite thick and has an overlay texture.

It is one that you can easily modify as you add more or less colour!

I have worked it in two colours which really shows off the grid pattern.

Yarn over slip stitch (yo, insert your hook in the next st, yo and draw up a loop drawing it also through all the loops on your hook. Yarn Over Slip Stitch made.)

Notes

  • This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in two colours labelled A and B.

Instructions

To begin, with colour A, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need an even number of stitches for your foundation chain. For example, with colour A, ch 30.

Row One: Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Two: Yo Sl st in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Three: Sc in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Four: Working under the Flo, sc in the 1st st and in each st across. Change to colour B. Ch 1, turn.

Row Five: Sc in the 1st st, *CL in the flo of the next st 2 rows below, sc in the next st of the previous row; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Six: With colour B, sc in the 1st st and in each st across. Change to colour A. Ch 1, turn.

Row Seven: With colour A, sc in each of the 1st 2 sts, *tr in the Flo of the next st 4 rows below pulling the dc up to the height of your sc st, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across, dc in each of the final 2 sts. Ch 1, turn.

And that’s it!

For the rest of the pattern, simply repeat rows 2-7. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
