How to Crochet the Crunch Stitch Photo Tutorial

I’ve recently discovered the crochet Crunch stitch, and I just love it!

This stitch is so beautiful and has a wonderful and unique texture. The crunch stitch is an easy two-stitch repeat and a great stitch for crochet beginners!

The crochet crunch is really simple, it uses only Half Double Crochet and Slip Stitch.

The stitch is starting with an odd number of chains, so you can easily adjust your project to any width you want.

The pattern is a one-row repeat pattern, alternating the hdc and ss stitches, where the hdc is worked into the ss, and the ss is worked into the hdc.

Abbreviations (US)

ch – chain

ss – slip stitch

yo – yarn over

hdc – half double crochet
