Learn how to crochet the Block Stitch with this photo tutorial.
Materials
- Two colors of yarn (one color is fine as well but if you want the contrast you will need two colors)
- Crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry Needle
Abbreviations
- sc - single crochet
- ch - chain
- sk - skip
- st(s) - stitch(es)
- dc - double crochet
- sp - space
Instructions
First, make a chain in a multiple of 3+1
Row 1: Here, I’ve chained 19. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next ch stitch, *ch2, sk 2 ch sts, 1 sc in the next st*; repeat from * to * across row, sc in last ch; change color in final stitch
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as dc stitch), 3 dc in each ch2sp across the row. (Don’t make any stitches into the sc stitches except final sc stitch) Make 1dc in final sc of row; change color on last stitch and turn.
Row 3: Ch 1, sc in the 1st stitch, 1 sc in the space (oops! I missed that one sc in the sp for the photo – you should see two sc stitches there in the start of the row), *Ch 2, sk 3 dc, 1 sc in the ch2sp*; repeat from * to *, 1 sc in the final stitch; change color at final stitch.
Now you will simply repeat rows 2 & 3 until desired length!
