Elongated Alpine Stitch – Easy Step By Step Photo & Video Tutorial


The Elongated Alpine Stitch is a modified version of the Classic Alpine Stitch I have written about a few months back. The difference between the two is the row that goes in between the front post double crochet rows.

A piece crocheted with the Elongated Alpine Stitch pattern has the same beautiful unique texture but with less bulk which makes it suitable for projects using bulky and super bulky yarns (also known as chunky and super chunky or #5 and #6 yarn weights).

In this tutorial, I will show you step-by-step how to crochet this gorgeous stitch with photos and explanations and a video for those who find it easier to learn by watching how is it done.

About The Elongated Alpine Stitch

How to use this stitch

  • baby blankets and afghans
  • cushions
  • rugs
  • potholders and kitchen towels
  • shawls and scarves
  • hats and gloves
  • garments
  • accessories

I used the elongated alpine stitch pattern to create the Woodland Fox Hooded Blanket. I chose it because the blanket was using less yarn and it was not as thick and bulky as when I used the classic alpine stitch. It also worked up faster.
