Seed Crochet Stitch Tutorial
The Seed Stitch is a very beginner-friendly crochet pattern but also fun to crochet for more seasoned crocheters. This stitch looks more difficult than it actually is. It uses only basic stitches like the single crochet, single crochet back loop, and slip stitch.
You get a medium-textured modern crochet stitch pattern. When you increase the size of the hook and use thicker yarn you will see the texture even better.
You can use this stitch pattern in many different projects like home decor, coasters, potholders, dishcloths, shawls, cowls, etc.
TOOLS
- A crochet hook H/5mm or bigger
- Scissors
- Needle
MATERIAL
- 1 skein of any scrap yarn of any weight or type will work.

To make the seed stitch crochet pattern you need the following stitches and abbreviations:
Slip Knot

Chain (CH)
