How to Crochet the Box Stitch -

The last stitch for April…the Box Stitch! This is a simple one to end the month off. 🙂

This is a nice and simple stitch to end of April’s stitches! With only one repeating row for the pattern, you’ll be able to do this stitch fast and easily.

Have you heard about the Desert Blossom Stitch Along? I am running a series all throughout 2019 where I publish four stitch patterns per month—one per week. If you haven’t joined yet, it’s not too late! The great thing about this is that you can jump in at any time. Be sure to join the Stitch Along community in my Facebook group HERE.

You can also view the master list of stitches that have been released so far by clicking HERE! There are definitely some more cool ones you will want to check out. Last week’s stitch was the Interlocking Fan Stitch.

Last thing before we get started on this stitch: If you want to get ahead on the stitches for April, I created a bundle of 4 Spring stitch patterns on Etsy which can be found here. Included is the Box Stitch, plus 3 OTHER lace stitch patterns (all of the ones from April!) The stitches are written out for easy printing. Find this bundle HERE!

Notes

Stitch pattern is a multiple of 3+1
Ch 3 at beginning of rows counts as dc.

Materials

You can potentially use any yarn and hook for this stitch. However, here is what I used:

Red Heart Super Saver Yarn
H/8 Crochet Hook

Instructions

Fsc a multiple of 3+1 (to start with a chain stitch, you will need a multiple of 3 + 2, and then a row of single crochet).

Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as dc, here and throughout) dc in next fsc. Ch 1, sk next fsc, dc in next fsc. Rep from * until 3 sts left. Ch 1, sk next fsc, dc in last 2 fsc. Turn.

Row 2: Ch 3, dc in next dc. Ch 1, sk next ch-1 sp, *dc in next dc. Ch 1, sk next ch-1 sp. Rep from * until 2 dc left. Dc in last 2 dc.

Rep row 2 for stitch pattern!
