The Thermal Stitch (AKA The Double Thick Crochet Stitch) – Pattern Description

The cold season is here and today I am sharing the tutorial for a stitch that is perfect for this time of the year: The Thermal Stitch.

The Thermal Stitch is a one-row repeat crochet pattern constructed with single crochet stitches made in double rows to create a thick, warm fabric that is suitable for winter garments, handbags, potholders, and any other project that needs sturdy and thick texture.

It’s an easy stitch to master with just a one-row repeat, no-stitch counting, and just using single crochet stitches. Perfect for those evenings spent in front of the TV with your favorite TV show.

Scroll down for the step-by-step written and photo instructions and the video tutorial I made for those of you who are visual learners.

Pattern Instructions

ch1 at the end of each row does not count as a stitch
TIP: The last stitch in every row can be tricky to find. To make sure you are not skipping it, place a stitch marker in the first stitch you make in the row and when you turn, you will know which one is the last stitch.

Starting Chain: This pattern doesn’t require any multiples, just make a chain the length you require. My starting chain is 26chs long.

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each of the remaining chs, ch1, turn.

Row 2: Turn your work to the side. Insert your hook through the back and 3 rd loops and make a single crochet. Repeat in every stitch until the end of the row, ch1, turn.

Row 3: Insert the hook through the back loop and the leftover parallel loop at the back (the front loop from the previous row) and make a single crochet. Repeat in every stitch until the end of the row, ch1, turn.

Repeat row 3 until you have the required length for your project.

Final Row: Insert your hook through the entire stitch AND the leftover parallel loop at the back (the front loop from the previous row) and make a single crochet. Repeat every stitch until the end of the row. Fasten off.

I love this stitch, you explain it so good, and with the pictures. How do you make it into colors of yarn? I want to try it.
It is the thermal Stitch.

  Thank you! To make it 2 colors, you need to change colors after every row.

how do you change color every row without cutting the yarn?

  Unfortunately you can’t, but you can tie the 2 different color yarns with a magic knot and continue, that will save you from weaving in lots of ends.
