Basic Crochet Stitches

1. Chain Stitch (ch)

The chain stitch is the most basic crochet stitch and is the foundation of most crochet projects. It’s used to start most patterns and create the foundation row.

How to do it:

• Yarn over and pull through the loop on the hook.
• Repeat to create the desired number of chains.

2. Slip Stitch (sl st)

The slip stitch is often used to join pieces together or to move to a different location in the project. It’s also used in some patterns to create a smooth finish.

How to do it:

• Insert your hook into the stitch or space.
• Yarn over and pull through both the stitch and the loop on your hook.

3. Single Crochet (sc)

The single crochet is one of the simplest and most commonly used stitches. It’s perfect for creating dense, firm fabric.

How to do it:

• Insert your hook into the stitch.
• Yarn over and pull through, then yarn over again and pull through both loops on the hook.

4. Half Double Crochet (hdc)

The half double crochet creates a slightly taller stitch than single crochet but is shorter than double crochet. It creates a fabric that is flexible and has a bit of texture.

How to do it:

• Yarn over and insert your hook into the stitch.
• Yarn over again and pull through, leaving three loops on the hook.
• Yarn over and pull through all three loops.

5. Double Crochet (dc)

The double crochet is one of the tallest and most versatile crochet stitches. It creates a fabric with a lot of drape and is great for lightweight, airy projects.

How to do it:

• Yarn over and insert your hook into the stitch.
• Yarn over again and pull through, leaving three loops on the hook.
• Yarn over and pull through the first two loops, then yarn over and pull through the last two loops.

Intermediate Crochet Stitches

6. Treble (or Triple) Crochet (tr)

The treble crochet is taller than the double crochet, creating a lacey, open fabric. It’s often used for making lightweight garments and shawls.

How to do it:

• Yarn over twice and insert your hook into the stitch.
• Yarn over and pull through, leaving four loops on the hook.
• Yarn over and pull through two loops, repeat until only one loop remains on the hook.

7. Shell Stitch

The shell stitch is a beautiful, textured stitch made by working several double crochets into the same stitch or space. It’s commonly used in blankets, scarves, and borders.

How to do it:

• Yarn over and make 5 double crochets into the same stitch or space.
• Skip a stitch or space and repeat the shell pattern in the next space.

8. Picot Stitch

The picot stitch is a decorative stitch often used to add little points or edges to projects like shawls or collars. It’s usually worked in the middle of a row or round.

How to do it:

• Chain 3, then slip stitch into the first chain.
• Continue as needed, adding picots to your design.

9. V-Stitch

The V-stitch is a versatile stitch used to create openwork patterns. It’s made by working two double crochets into the same stitch or space, separated by a chain.

How to do it:

• Yarn over and make 2 double crochets into the same space.
• Chain 1, then make 2 more double crochets into the same space.

Advanced Crochet Stitches

10. Cluster Stitch

The cluster stitch is made by working multiple double crochets into one stitch or space, then joining them together to form a textured group of stitches.

How to do it:

• Yarn over and insert your hook into the stitch or space.
• Yarn over and pull through, leaving 3 loops on the hook.
• Repeat this process a few more times (usually 3-4 double crochets).
• Yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook to close the cluster.

11. Cables (Cable Stitch)

Cables are intricate and textured stitches that create a braided or twisted look, similar to knitting cables. They require a little more skill and are often used in blankets, scarves, and sweaters.

How to do it:

• Use a cable needle to temporarily hold stitches in front or behind your work.
• Work the next few stitches, then return the held stitches and work them into place.

12. Shell and Picot Stitch Combination

A combination of the shell stitch and the picot stitch creates an interesting textured effect, adding both height and decorative points to the work. This combination is often used for intricate borders or shawls.

How to do it:

• Create a shell stitch with 5 double crochets.
• In the center of the shell, make a picot stitch for added texture.
• Repeat across the row or round.
