Ever wonder why certain crochet stitches are better for some patterns and not others? Does using a particular stitch really make a difference in the finished product? Even if you are not a crocheter, having a little bit of stitch knowledge can help you pick the best quality product.
Griddle Stitch & I'm not talking about cookin'
The Griddle Stitch is a beautiful stitch that is created by using a combination of simple crochet stitches. The fantastic thing about crocheting with a combination stitch like this, is that it looks the same on both sides, no "wrong side" & it still looks gorgeous. When your project is complete it will have a soft, bumpy look and feel to it. To me it makes things look more "vintage".
How to work the stitch:
ROW 1
Starting in the 2nd chain from hook, *work 1 SC. In the next stitch, work 1 DC. Repeat from * across the row. The last stitch made will be a DC. CH 1 and turn.
ROW 2
Starting in the first stitch, *work 1 SC into the top of the DC of the previous row. 1 DC into the top of the next SC. Repeat from * across the row. The last stitch will be a DC. (Always DC into SC. Always SC into DC.) CH 1 and turn.
Griddle me up some lovin'!
