Tip:

To achieve the best results, maintain consistent tension and use a yarn with good drape to showcase the stitch’s textured beauty.

Materials and Setup

• Yarn type: Chunky Monkey (for the tutorial, Baby Blossom Chunky in the shade Buttercup is used)
• Crochet hook size: 6mm (adjust according to the desired drape)
• Start with a slipknot on the hook
• Foundation chain: ensure it is an even number (a multiple of two)

Pattern Instructions

Foundation Row

1. First Stitch: Into the second chain from your hook, make a slip stitch. Consider marking this stitch for easier identification later.
2. Second Stitch: In the next chain, do a half treble crochet (UK terms; known as half double crochet in US terms).
3. Follow-up: Alternate between slip stitch and half treble crochet for the entire row, finishing on a slip stitch.

Main Pattern (One Row Repeat)

1. Start: Chain one and turn your work.
2. First Stitch: Make a slip stitch into the very first stitch, catching the entire stitch (mark it for clarity).
3. Second Stitch: Into the top of your next stitch, do a half treble crochet.
4. Process: Alternate between slip stitch and half treble crochet across the row, ensuring to work through the correct loops.
5. End: Finish the row with a slip stitch in the final stitch.
6. Repeat: This is now your one-row repeat pattern. Continue with these steps for the length of your project.

Color Change

• To change colors, work up to the last stitch of your row.
• Secure the end of the current color by pulling up a loop.
• Introduce the new color by threading it through the front loop of the final stitch and one loop on the side of your work.
• Chain one with the new color, then tighten the end of the previous color to secure.
• Continue with the moss stitch pattern as before.
