This easy textured crochet stitch creates a beautifully rich fabric using just two basic stitches—single crochet and double crochet. The simple stitch combination produces plenty of texture without complicated techniques, making it a great choice for beginners and experienced crocheters alike.
The stitch is worked in rows using a simple 3-stitch repeat and can easily be adjusted to fit projects of different sizes. Use it for dishcloths, blankets, scarves, and other projects where you want a thick, textured crochet fabric.
I’ve included written instructions, a stitch diagram, and a video tutorial below to walk you through the pattern. If you need a refresher before getting started, see my tutorials for how to do a single crochet here and how to do a double crochet .
Once you’ve learned the stitch, try it with my Textured Crochet Dishcloth Pattern or the Lakeside Throw Crochet Afghan Pattern. The stitch lends itself beautifully for both patterns.
I’ve included a video here to walk you through the stitch, followed by the written pattern and a stitch diagram below.

Hi! I’m a begginer at knitting, and I don’t know why but it seems that i’m loosing stiches at the end of each Row (I have only 16 at the end ofthe first Row to do the second row, starting from 26 ch). I’m pretty sure that my sc and my dc are ok and I don’t know where my mistake came from. Could you help me because I really like your pattern. Sorry if my english is not perfect, I hope you’ll be able to understand me.
Okay so I’m on the edging right now. I’ve done the first side and the two sc for the second side. What I don’t understand is where I put the sc on the second side. There are no defined place for each sc to go like on the first side. Please help….
Thank you for posting, this pattern looks beautiful! I’m looking for the video, but the link provided is not working. Do you have it listed somewhere else? Also, what is the border or edge that you added?
Hmmm … The video is working for me now if you wanted to try it again. I also have it on YouTube here …
As for the edging, are you referring to the dishcloth? If so, I just put a single crochet edging around it … 1 sc in each stitch and row edge and 3 sc in each corner. For the blanket, I did not add an edging at all because I really like how this stitch makes the edges look. Hope that helps!
I love this stitch! I’ve made a couple of afghans with and they come out so soft and squishy!
How wonderful is this crochet pattern and it is looking so easy! Thank you very much. Julie
