Crunch Stitch Pattern

Ideal for those cold winter days and nights, the Crunch Stitch pattern makes a very durable, warm and thick fabric. It gets its name from the way the half-double crochet (aka the half-treble crochet in UK terms) and the slip stitch combine. The slip stitch actually bends the half-double crochet over and crunches it up against the previous row!

Using just two stitches, this two row repeat pattern creates a beautiful surface texture. It’s simple to learn and you really only need to pay attention to how you begin and end the rows! Surely a great pattern to work during a favorite program!
