This textured stitch pattern is one of my favorites! I love using it for dishcloths, throws, scarves, and more. The pattern looks complicated but it’s really not … if you know how to work a single crochet and a double crochet, you are all set. (But if you need a refresher, check out my stitch tutorials for how to do a single crochet here and how to do a double crochet here.) It’s amazing what a rich and complex design can be achieved with only two basic crochet stitches.
Once you get the stitch down, try it out using this Textured Crochet Dishcloth Pattern or the Lakeside Throw Crochet Afghan Pattern. The stitch lends itself beautifully for both patterns …
I’ve included a video here to walk you through the stitch, followed by the written pattern and a stitch diagram below.

Hi! I’m a begginer at knitting, and I don’t know why but it seems that i’m loosing stiches at the end of each Row (I have only 16 at the end ofthe first Row to do the second row, starting from 26 ch). I’m pretty sure that my sc and my dc are ok and I don’t know where my mistake came from. Could you help me because I really like your pattern. Sorry if my english is not perfect, I hope you’ll be able to understand me.
Okay so I’m on the edging right now. I’ve done the first side and the two sc for the second side. What I don’t understand is where I put the sc on the second side. There are no defined place for each sc to go like on the first side. Please help….
Thank you for posting, this pattern looks beautiful! I’m looking for the video, but the link provided is not working. Do you have it listed somewhere else? Also, what is the border or edge that you added?
Hmmm … The video is working for me now if you wanted to try it again. I also have it on YouTube here … https://youtu.be/AuIUivxfu8o
As for the edging, are you referring to the dishcloth? If so, I just put a single crochet edging around it … 1 sc in each stitch and row edge and 3 sc in each corner. For the blanket, I did not add an edging at all because I really like how this stitch makes the edges look. Hope that helps!
I love this stitch! I’ve made a couple of afghans with and they come out so soft and squishy!
How wonderful is this crochet pattern and it is looking so easy! Thank you very much. Julie
