How to Crochet the Twin Stitch Photo Tutorial

The Twin Stitch crochet pattern is a wonderful and easy crochet pattern that features paired half double crochet stitches.

These half double crochet stitches are worked as spike stitches meaning that they are worked under the stitches of the previous row. The result is a subtly textured fabric that is the same on both sides. This makes it great for so many different crochet projects!

Stitches and Abbreviations:

• Ch – Chain Stitch
• Hdc – Half Double Crochet
• Rpt – Repeat
• Sc – Single Crochet Stitch
• Sl St – Slip Stitch
• Yo – Yarn Over

Pattern Notes:

This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a solid colour.

To begin make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch you will need an odd number of stitches for your foundation chain.

For example, ch 31.

Pattern Instructions:

Row One: Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Two: Sc in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Three: Hdc in the first st, sk the next st, *work 2 hdc under the next st, sk the next st; Rpt from * across, hdc in the top of the final st. Ch 1, turn.

And that’s it!

For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows two and three for the pattern. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
