Block Crochet Pattern Tutorial It’s starting to get chilly even here in Oklahoma so I’ve taken back to crochet. Hip, hip hooray! Crochet is one of my more favorite crafts because I love the way I can take it anywhere and when I’m a little bit cold it keeps me busy and warms my lap. So I’ve found myself just working through different stitches and patterns to keep my hands busy but not commit me to anything too lengthy. Let’s get into this already. Chain to the length you desire in an increment of 3, then add 2 more. Single crochet in the second chain from the hook. Then chain twice. Chain twice. Keep repeating this until you reach the end of your chain. When you get to the end chain 3 and turn. Double crochet in the first two chains . We’re going to double crochet again, but rather than going in the next available chain like we normally would, we’re going to go UNDER the single crochet in the previous row. Simply yarn over and put your hook under the single crochet and work the double crochet, business as usual.
