Crochet Stitch Collection

I want to create a wide collection  of crochet stitches on my blog, so both my readers and I can refer to it when in need of a stitch pattern for a new project. Here is another stitch I’m adding to it.

I think it can be used for afghans and throws, baby blankets, scarves, and even crochet sweaters.

In this pattern I refer to turning ch 3 as “last dc”.

Multiple of 10, plus 4, plus 5 for symmetry

Row 1: dc in 4^th ch from hook, dc in next 4 ch, *skip 2 ch, (dc, ch 5, dc) all in next ch, skip 2 ch, dc in next 5 ch* across; dc in last ch. Ch 3, turn.

Row 2: dc in next 5 dc, *ch 2, sc in ch-5 space, ch 2, skip next dc, dc in next 5 dc* across; dc in last dc. Ch 3, turn.

Row 3: skip 2 dc, (dc, ch 5, dc) all in next dc (it’s the 3^rd dc of dc-5 group), *2 dc in next ch-2 space, dc in next sc, 2 dc in next ch-2 space, skip 2 dc, (dc, ch 5, dc) all in next dc (it’s the 3^rd dc of dc-5 group)* across; dc in last dc. Ch 5, turn.

Row 4: sc in ch-5 space, ch 2, *dc in next 5 dc, ch 2, sc in ch-5 space, ch 2* across; dc in last dc. Ch 3, turn.

Row 5: 2 dc in ch-2 space, dc in next sc, 2 dc in ch-2 space, *skip 2 dc, (dc, ch 5, dc) all in next dc, 2 dc in ch-2 space, dc in next sc, 2 dc in ch-2 space* across; dc in 3^rd ch of turning ch-5. Ch 3, turn.

Repeat Row 2 - Row 5.
