Crochet Crunch Stitch. Easy crochet stitch patterns.

If you love to learn new crochet stitches, then you’re in the right place. The crochet crunch stitch has a dense and closely knitted texture but is very easy to make.

With only one row repeat, the crochet crunch stitch works up faster and easily because you do not have multiple row repeats to master.

I decided to learn as much crochet stitches this year and share them with you. If you’d like to explore and learn more, you can check them here.

Video Tutorial.

Shall we start.

Materials.

1. Worsted weight / category 4 yarn.
2. 5.0 mm crochet hook.
3. Yarn needle {if you want to weave in the ends after finishing your piece}

Stitches Used & Abbreviations

Ch = chain.

Slst = slip stitch

Hdc = half double crochet

Notes.

1. Foundation chain should be an odd number.
2. Every row starts with a slst and ends with a hdc.
3. Turn your work after every row.
4. The slip stitches tend to stiff if your stitches are tight. Try making loose stitches.
5. The pattern is written in US terms.
