The Crunch Stitch – Video & Photo Tutorial

The Crunch Stitch – Pattern Description
The Crunch Stitch is a double-sides 2-row repeat pattern constructed with alternating slip stitches and half double crochet stitches that create a dense and bumpy texture to your work.
It works great on any project that needs to look good from both sides and be warm such as baby blankets, modern afghans, hats, cowls, shawls and accessories.
The Crunch Stitch is easy to remember once you’ve made the first couple of rows. You can watch your favorite show and crochet away without having to count stitches or rows.

- ch1 at the end of each row does not count as a stitch
- stitches contained within ** are the repeat section for that row
- TIP: if below you have a sl st, then you make a hdc, if below you have a hdc, then you make a sl st

Starting Chain: This pattern requires you to chain multiples of 2. My starting chain is 28ch.

Row 1: hdc in 2nd ch from hook, *sl st, hdc*, repeat until the end of the row, ch1, turn

Row 2: sl st, *hdc, sl st*, repeat until the end of the row, ch1, turn

Row 3: hdc, *sl st, hdc*, repeat until the end of the row, ch1, turn
