How to Crochet the Cloud Stitch Photo Tutorial

The Cloud Stitch is a wonderfully textured crochet stitch that creates a beautiful fabric that has the texture all to one side.

The other thing to note right from the start is that this pattern is a super easy two row repeat. The first row is a combination of slip stitches and cluster stitches which the second row is a return row of single crochet. It is so easy!

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 a multiple of two chains for your foundation chain.

The Cloud Stitch Pattern:

To begin, you will work your foundation chain. For example, work 30 chains.

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

Row Two: Sl st into the 1st st, *CL in the next st, sl st in next st; rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Three:

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

And that’s it!

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