How to Crochet The Royal Ridge Stitch Photo Tutorial

The Royal Ridge Crochet Stitch is a simple crochet stitch to do with a beautiful texture that mimics the look of knit stitches and creates a horizontal bar across our fabric. It’s a double-sided fabric (both sides look the same), making it a great stitch for scarves and blankets.

Foundation Chain: Chain any number of chain stitches needed for your project + 1 for the turning chain.

Row 1: Half Double Crochet (HDC) in the 2nd ch from the hook and each chain across. CH 1 (never counts as a stitch) and turn your work.

Row 2: Half Double Crochet in the 1st ST under both top loops and in each stitch across.

Row 3: CH 1 and turn your work. HDC in the third loop of the first stitch and each stitch across.

Repeat Row 3 until your project reaches your desired size. Fasten off and weave in your ends.

That’s it!
