How to Crochet the Victorian Stitch

June’s stitches are coming to a close…today I want to show you how to crochet the Victorian Stitch! This is a beautiful lace stitch pattern you won’t regret learning.

Even though this stitch is lace, it is SUPER easy—I promise! It only uses double crochets and chain stitches. 🙂

If you haven’t joined my Stitch Along yet, it’s not too late! I’m releasing 4 stitch patterns per month, but you can jump in at any time! Be sure to join the Stitch Along community in my Facebook group HERE. Or follow me on Instagram to see new stitches there.

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.

I also designed a summer crochet pattern with this stitch! It’s called the Summer Breeze Vest—check it out here!

Last thing before we get started on this stitch: I created a bundle of 4 stitch patterns on Etsy which can be found here. Included is the Victorian Stitch, plus 3 OTHER lace stitch patterns (all of the ones that will be released in June!) The stitches are written out for easy printing. Find this bundle HERE!
