This crochet stitch works up fast, is very easy to do and is extremely versatile. It’s textured and there is no wrong and right side so it’s completely reversible so it’s good to use for almost anything. I’ve made ponchos, baby blankets, afghans, scarves, shawls and more with it. The weight of your project is easily adjusted by changing the size of the crochet hook you use.

Crochet a chain the desired length – the number of stitches is a multiple of 3 + 1.

2 double crochet in 4th chain from hook.
*Skip two chains
In next chain work 1 single crochet and 2 double crochet

Second Row
2 double crochet in first single crochet
1 single crochet and 2 double crochet in each single crochet across
