Learn how to crochet the Double Moss Stitch with this photo tutorial.

Materials

• worsted weight yarn
• crochet hook

Instructions

1. Start with any even number of chains. For this tutorial I am starting with 14 chain stitches.

2. Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each to end. You should now have an ODD number of single crochet stitches.

3. Chain one and turn, placing one single crochet in the first stitch.

4. Chain one, skip the next stitch, and single crochet in the next stitch.

Repeat step 4 until you reach the end of the row.

5. Chain one and turn, placing one single crochet in the first stitch.

6. Make a Single Crochet Spike Stitch in the skipped stitch from row 1 and chain one.

Repeat step 6 until you only have two stitches remaining.

7. Single Crochet Spike Stitch in the second to last stitch, and single crochet in the final stitch.

8. Chain one and turn, placing one single crochet in EACH of the first two stitches.

9. Chain one, skip the next chain space, and single crochet in the next stitch (should be the Ssc from the previous row).

Repeat step 9 until only one stitch remains.

10. Single crochet in the final stitch. Note that you should have two single crochets in a row to start this row and to end this row.

11. Chain one and turn, placing one single crochet in the first stitch.

12. Chain one, skip the next stitch, and Single Crochet Spike Stitch in the chain space from the row two rows down.

Repeat step 12 until there are only two stitches remaining.

13. Chain one, skip the next stitch, and single crochet in the final stitch.

14. Chain one and turn, placing one single crochet in the first stitch.

15. Chain one, skip the next chain space, and single crochet in the next stitch (should be the Ssc from the previous row).

Repeat step 15 until there are only two stitches remaining.

16. Chain one, skip the next chain space and single crochet in the final stitch.

17. Chain one and turn, placing one single crochet in the first stitch.

18. Single Crochet Spike Stitch in the chain space from the row two rows down, chain one, skip next stitch.

Repeat step 18 until there are only two stitches remaining.

19. Single Crochet Spike Stitch in the chain space from the row two rows down, and single crochet in the final stitch.

Start over at step 8 and continue adding rows until the piece is as tall as desired or needed.

When you go to fasten off, make sure that you end on a Single Crochet Spike Stitch row, and I like to substitute single crochet stitches instead of chains on that final row to keep things more stable and tidy for the border stitches, if adding one.
