How to make crochet pattern

That crochet pattern in the picture is called the Suzette Stitch — it’s a beautiful textured stitch made with single crochet and double crochet in the same stitch. Here’s how you can make it step-by-step 👇

🧶 MATERIALS NEEDED:

• Yarn: Any medium-weight yarn (size 4).
• Crochet hook: 6.0 mm (as shown in your photo).
• Extras: Scissors + yarn needle (for weaving ends).

🌼 STITCHES YOU NEED TO KNOW:

1. Chain (ch)
2. Single Crochet (sc)
3. Double Crochet (dc)
4. Skip stitch (sk st)

If you’re a beginner, I’ll explain each one briefly below.

---

🔹 Step 1: Make a Foundation Chain

• Start with a slip knot on your hook.
• Chain an even number of stitches — for example ch 26.
  (You can make it longer or shorter depending on your project width.)

---

🔹 Step 2: First Row (Create the texture base)

1. Insert your hook into the 2nd chain from the hook.
2. Make 1 single crochet (sc).
3. In the same chain, make 1 double crochet (dc).
   ➤ You now have your first “Suzette stitch pair.”
4. Skip 1 chain.
5. In the next chain, again make (1 sc + 1 dc) into that same chain.
6. Repeat steps 4–5 all the way to the end.
7. When you have one chain left, make 1 single crochet (sc) in the last chain.
8. Turn your work.

✅ You should now see small “V”-like clusters starting to form.

🔹 Step 3: Second Row (Build texture)

1. Chain 1 (this is your turning chain — does NOT count as a stitch).
2. Make (1 sc + 1 dc) in the first stitch.
   ➤ This means: insert your hook into the first stitch, make a single crochet, then a double crochet in the same place.
3. Skip 1 stitch.
4. In the next stitch, again make (1 sc + 1 dc) in the same stitch.
5. Repeat this pattern (skip 1, (sc + dc) in next) all across the row.
6. End the row with 1 single crochet (sc) in the last stitch.
7. Turn your work.

🔹 Step 4: Continue Rows

Repeat Row 2 over and over until your piece reaches the length you want.

🌸 NOTES & TIPS:

• Always start each row with ch 1 and end with 1 sc in the last stitch.
• The texture looks best when your tension is consistent — not too tight.
• The Suzette Stitch is reversible — both sides look the same, so it’s perfect for blankets and scarves.
• To change color: end your last stitch before finishing the row, pull the new color through the last two loops on the hook, then continue as normal.
