Crochet Waffle Stitch Tutorial

Waffle Stitch by Crafting Happiness MAIN PINTEREST POSTER 1

The waffle stitch has so much texture and it is so easy to make, anyone can learn how to crochet it.

Below you will find a detailed illustrated tutorial with step-by-step instruction, a basic diagram, and a video for those who learn better from watching how the stitch is crocheted.

The Waffle Stitch – Pattern Description


The waffle stitch pattern is beginner friendly and works up fast using only two stitches: the front post double crochet and the double crochet stitches.

The pattern has a textured side that looks like waffles and a flat side and can be used in a variety of projects, from blankets and afghans to jumpers and shawls.

How To Crochet The Waffle Stitch

Pattern Notes


Pattern Characteristics

  • solid
  • textured

Pattern Repeat

  • Multiples of 3ch
  • 2-row repeat

Supplies Used

  • Marriner Yarns DK (light worsted) yarn in grey
  • Click here for YARN ALTERNATIVES
  • 4mm crochet hook

Unfortunately MarrinerYarns ships only in the UK, so for my international customers, I can recommend a similar yarn, Red Heart Yarn, which comes in a multitude of colors and weights, just as affordable and easy to work with as Marriner Yarns.

  • I get most of my crochet supplies from Amazon, it’s fast and easy and I find everything I need in one place.

I also invested in Amazon Prime Membership which makes most of the shipping free and deliveries super fast.

Abbreviations


Pattern written in US terms using Craft Yarn Council abbreviations.

  • yo – yarn over
  • ch – chain
  • fpdc – front post double crochet
  • dc – double crochet
  • dc1 – first double crochet in the row

Special Stitches

First Double Crochet In The Row (dc1) – sc in the very first stitch, ch2 

BLOG COLLAGE - Waffle Photo

Crocheting the first double crochet in the row with this method (as opposed to the usual ch3 method) will prevent the gap that usually occurs between the first and second posts.

Pattern Instructions


For this tutorial, my starting chain was 18 long.

Row 1: ch18

Row 2: dc in the 5th chain and in each chain across, turn

Row 4: dc1, dc, *2fpdc, dc*, repeat across, dc, turn

From this point on, repeat rows 3 and 4 until the required length is achieved.

Here are two more rows, you will have an idea of how the waffle texture is formed.

Row 5: dc1, fpdc, *2dc, fpdc*, repeat across, dc, turn
