Crochet Griddle Stitch Tutorial

Whether you’re a beginner looking for a straightforward stitch or an experienced crocheter aiming for an intricate-but-easy pattern, the griddle stitch provides a versatile and timeless option.

Tip:

For a smoother finish, use a lighter weight yarn to emphasize the griddle stitch’s unique texture.

Material:

• Crochet yarn (your choice of color)
• Crochet hook suitable for your yarn

Starting Your Project:

Foundation Chain:

• Chain in multiples of 2. For example, chain 6 as a base.
• Add an additional 2 chains to your base. (If you started with 6, you will chain 8 in total.)

Row 1 (Setup Row):

• Skip the first 3 chains from the hook. These 3 chains count as your first double crochet.
• Work a single crochet into the fourth chain.
• Insert your hook, yarn over, pull through, you have two loops.
• Yarn over again and pull through both loops on your hook.
• Work a double crochet into the next chain.

• Yarn over, insert into the chain, yarn over, pull through, you have three loops.
• Yarn over, pull through two loops, then yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops.
• Alternate between single crochet and double crochet for the rest of the row, ending with a single crochet in the last stitch.

Row 2 and Beyond:

• Chain 3 at the beginning of the row. This counts as your first double crochet.
• Alternate between single crochet and double crochet across the row, starting with a single crochet into the first stitch (right next to your chain 3).
• Continue the pattern (single then double, repeat) along the row, ensuring you end with a single crochet in the last stitch, which might be tricky to spot but necessary for maintaining the pattern.
• Repeat this row for the pattern, always starting with a chain 3, which counts as the first double crochet, and always ending with a single crochet.

Finishing Your Project:

When your piece has reached the desired length, you can finish off by cutting the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in ends with a needle. The pattern creates a beautifully textured, reversible fabric, excellent for washcloths, blankets, and more. Remember, the key to the griddle stitch is the simple alternation between single and double crochet, ending and beginning with the specific stitches as described to maintain the texture.

• This versatile stitch creates a dense, textured fabric that is great for various projects, from scarves and blankets to hats and beyond. Just remember to keep your chains in multiples of 2 (+2 for the base) and enjoy the rhythm of alternating between singles and doubles. Happy crocheting!
