How to crochet The Block Stitch
Keywords: texture,
In this DROPS video we show how we crochet "The block stitch". Crochet a chain stitch row with a number of stitches divisible by 3 + 1 chain stitch. We work 15 + 1 chain stitches in the video.
Work 15 chain stitches with Color 1.
ROW 1: Work 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet in 2nd stitch from crochet hook, 1 double crochet in next stitch, * 2 chain stitches, skip 2 stitches, 1 double crochetin each of the next 2 stitches *, repeat *-* entire row and finish with 1 double crochet in each of the 2 last stitches, turn.
ROW 2: Work 3 chain stitches, 1 treble crochet in the 1st stitch, now work 3 treble crochet in each chain stitch loop the entire row. Finish with 1 treble crochet in the last stitch, but use Colour 2 in the last pull through, turn. Cut Colour 1.
ROW 3: Work 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet in the 1st stitch, 1double crochet in between last stitch group and last treble crochet in previous row, * 2 chain stitches, 1 double crochet in between stitch groups from previous row *, repeat * - * entire row and finish with 1 double crochet in the 3rd chain stitch from previous row, at same time change to Colour 3 in the last pull through, turn. Cut colour 2.
ROW 4: Work 3 chain stitches, 1 treble crochet in the 1st stitch, work 3 treble crochets in each chain stitch loop the entire row and finish with 1 treble crochet in the last stitch, turn. Cut Colour 3.
Now repeat 3rd and 4th row to desired length.
We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. This small sample patch is crocheted in DROPS Puna with crochet hook size 3.5 mm.

Ok thx! So how do I do the Math when I see a block pattern what I want to remake?

Dear Irma, you should have a number of stitches divisible by 3 + 4 chains - you will have then (as you can see also on the picture to the video): 1 tr, xx tr-groups (we have here 3) and 2 tr. Hope this helps. Happy crocheting! 25.05.2020 - 16:30

Hej! Awesome tutorial! Do I make it right that when I begin with 15 + 1, in the oneven rows I end up with 12?

Dear Irma, that's right, we also get 12 trebles (Uk-English)/double crochets (Us-English) in the video. Happy crocheting! 25.05.2020 - 13:22

What pattern is this for? I really like it. It would be great for a bag.

Dear Lucy, you can use it for any purposes, make a swatch to check your tension and then you can take any other crochet bag pattern to make your own adjustments. Happy crocheting! 25.06.2019 - 08:38
