To begin your cro­chet project, start with a foun­da­tion chain that’s an odd num­ber of stitch­es.

The first stitch of each repeat is a SC, and the next stitch is a DC, work­ing your way down the row to cre­ate the per­fect stitch com­bi­na­tion.

H hook 

I will use an H hook for this project. How­ev­er, you can use any yarn and hook for this stitch. To get start­ed, you must begin with a slip knot onto your hook and cre­ate a chain with an odd num­ber. In this demon­stra­tion, I’ll use a chain of 15.

Now, let’s begin with a sin­gle cro­chet. In the sec­ond chain from the hook, cre­ate a sin­gle cro­chet by insert­ing your hook, grab­bing the yarn, pulling it through, and then yarn over to pull through two loops. After that, yarn over and cre­ate a dou­ble cro­chet in the next chain by pulling through the loop, then yarn over and pull through two loops twice. Con­tin­ue alter­nat­ing between a sin­gle cro­chet and a dou­ble cro­chet: sin­gle, dou­ble, sin­gle, dou­ble, until you reach the end, fin­ish­ing with a dou­ble cro­chet.

Chain one and turn your work. In the first stitch, work a sin­gle cro­chet, fol­lowed by a dou­ble cro­chet in the next. Since you’re right on top of the pre­vi­ous sin­gle cro­chet, you’re doing the oppo­site now: dou­ble, sin­gle, dou­ble, sin­gle, and so on. Keep alter­nat­ing until you reach the end of the row.

To fin­ish the row, ensure the last stitch cor­re­sponds to a dou­ble cro­chet. Chain one, turn your work, and repeat each row the same way. Start with a chain one, a sin­gle cro­chet in that same stitch, and then a dou­ble cro­chet in the next. Con­tin­ue alter­nat­ing between sin­gle and dou­ble cro­chets until you reach the end.

This stitch pat­tern also works per­fect­ly in rows or con­tin­u­ous rounds. In fact, you can use this cro­chet tech­nique for a wide range of easy cro­chet pat­terns that require sim­ple yet effec­tive stitch­es. You’ll also find that the stitch’s tex­ture changes when worked in dif­fer­ent yarn types, mak­ing it a fan­tas­tic option for cre­at­ing a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent looks. By fol­low­ing the step-by-step tuto­r­i­al and using the step-by-step video tuto­r­i­al, you’ll be able to mas­ter this stitch in no time.
