If you’re looking to expand your crochet repertoire, the Suzette stitch is a fantastic technique to learn. This versatile and textured stitch is not only visually appealing but also surprisingly easy to master, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned crocheters.
The Suzette stitch combines single and double crochet stitches in a unique pattern that creates a dense, textured fabric. Its simplicity makes it a great choice for a variety of projects, from blankets and scarves to dishcloths and baby items. The stitch pattern is repetitive, so once you get the hang of it, you’ll find yourself moving quickly through your projects.
Suzette Stitch Step by Step Instructions
Stitches Used:

- The Stitch is a 1 row repeat.
- You will be working into the sc stitches from the row below.
FOUNDATION ROW: For your foundation row, make an odd number of chains.
ROW 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each st across, turn.
ROW 2: Ch1, hdc in first st, *sk next st, work a sc and dc in the next st, rep from * to last st, hdc in last st, turn.
