How to the Crochet the Single Crochet Drop Stitch Photo Tutorial

I have an awesome new crochet color work stitch to share with you all!

There’s so many color options with this stitch, so I hope you’ll have fun experimenting.

Let’s learn together how to crochet the Extended Single Crochet Stitch!

Materials

• Red Heart Super Saver Yarn
• H/8 Crochet Hook

Abbreviations

• fsc - soundation single crochet
• ch - chain
• sc - single crochet
• rep - repeat
• ea - each
• st(s) - stitch(es)

Special Stitches

Extended Single Crochet: YO, insert hook in next st from the PREVIOUS ROW. Draw up a loop to same height as regular sc. YO, pull through two loops.

Notes

• Stitch pattern is a multiple of 3+2
• Ch 1 at beginning of rows does NOT count as st
• This stitch changes color each row.
• Be sure to carry unused colors throughout rows. This way you will not have a ton of ends to weave in at the end!

Instructions

Fsc a multiple of 3+2 (to start with a chain stitch, you will need a multiple of 3, and then a row of single crochet).

Row 1: Ch 1, sc in ea st until one fsc left. Begin last sc, but YO with new color to change colors seamlessly.
