Who said Garter Stitch can only be done with two needles? Nothing further from the truth. With just a few of skeins of wool and a crochet hook you’ll soon be making sweaters in Garter Stitch in a crochet.

Materials

Instructions

To do this stitch you can chain as many stitches that you want and/or need.

Row 1: work the whole row in slip stitch. At the end chain 1.

Now it’s time to turn your work. Look at the top of your work.

Row 2: we’ll work this row in slip stitch (like the previous row), but this time we’ll insert the hook through the front loop only.

At the end of the row we’ll chain 1.

Row 3: we’ll work this row in slip stitch too. But this time, we’ll insert the hook through the back loop only.

At the end of the row we’ll chain.

To continue working this stitch you just have to continue repeating rows 2 and 3 as many times as needed, until you reach the desired length.
