Here is how to make this exact stitch pattern shown in your photo.
This is the Suzette Stitch (SC + DC in same stitch, skip 1) made in colorful stripes.
🧵 FULL DETAILED TUTORIAL
⭐ 1. FOUNDATION CHAIN
- Make a slipknot.
- Chain any even number (example: 30, 40, 60…).
⚠️ Even number is important because the pattern repeats over 2 stitches.
⭐ 2. ROW 1 – THE FIRST TEXTURE ROW
Step-by-step:
- Insert hook into the 2nd chain from the hook.
- Make 1 single crochet (SC).
- In the same chain, make 1 double crochet (DC).
→ This is the Suzette stitch. - Skip the next chain.
- In the next chain:
- Make SC + DC in the same stitch.
- Repeat:
Skip 1 chain → SC + DC in next chain
all the way to the end. - Stop when you have one stitch left.
You do not add extra stitches.
Turn your work.
⭐ 3. ROW 2 – CONTINUE THE PATTERN
You will now work inside the “V” shapes created from the previous row.
Step-by-step:
- Do not chain 1.
→ Suzette stitch begins immediately. - In the very first stitch of the row:
- Make SC + DC in the same stitch.
- Skip 1 stitch.
- In the next stitch:
- Make SC + DC in the same stitch.
- Repeat across the row:
Skip 1 → SC + DC - Turn your work.
⭐ 4. ROW 3 AND BEYOND — SAME REPEAT
Every row is exactly the same:
✔ No chain 1
✔ First stitch → SC + DC
✔ Skip 1
✔ Next stitch → SC + DC
✔ Repeat
✔ Turn
This creates the dense “puffy V texture” exactly like your photo.
🎨 COLOR CHANGE – PERFECT CLEAN STRIPES
To switch colors like in your photo:
When you reach the last stitch of the row:
- Start your final SC, but stop before the last yarn-over.
- Grab your new color.
- Yarn-over with the new color and pull through.
- Cut the old yarn.
- Begin the next row normally with the new color.
This creates perfect sharp color stripes.
