Learn how to crochet the Pinecone Stitch with this tutorial.
Materials:
You can potentially use ANY yarn and hook for this stitch. However, here’s what I used:
- Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Mary Maxim Starlette, but you can use anything)
- H/5mm Hook
Abbreviations:
- ch - chain stitch
- dc - double crochet
- fsc - foundation single crochet
- rep - repeat
- sk - skip
Special Stitch:
Puff Stitch (Puff St): YO, insert hook into indicated st. YO, pull up a loop. (YO, insert hook into same st, YO, pull up a loop) 2 times. YO, pull through 6 loops on hook. YO, pull through last 2 loops on hook.
Notes:
- Stitch pattern is multiple of 2+1
- Ch 3 at beginning of rows counts as dc
Instructions:
Fsc a multiple of 2+1 (to start with a chain stitch, you’ll need a multiple of 2, and then one row of single crochet).
Row 1: Ch 3, dc in next fsc. *Ch 1, Sk next fsc, puff st in next fsc. Rep from * until 3 fsc left. Ch 1, sk next fsc, dc in last 2 fsc, turn.
Row 2: Ch 3, dc in next dc. Puff st in next ch-sp. *Ch 1, sk next puff st, puff st in next ch-sp. Rep from * across all ch-sps. Dc in last 2 dc, turn.
Row 3: Ch 1, sc in first 2 dc, sc in next puff st. *Sc in next ch-sp, sc in next puff st. Rep from * until 2 dc left. Sc in last 2 dc, turn. (You should have the same amount of sc as your fsc row.)
Row 4: Ch 1, sc in first sc. *Ch 2, sk next sc, sc in next sc. Rep from * across, turn.
Row 5: Ch 1, sc in ea sc and ea ch-sp across, turn. (You should have the same amount of sc as your fsc row.)
Row 6: Ch 3, dc in next sc. *Ch 1, sk next sc, puff st in next sc. Rep from * until 3 sc left. Ch 1, sk next sc, dc in last 2 sc, turn.
Rep rows 2-6 for stitch pattern!
