How to Crochet the Ember Stitch Photo Tutorial
The Ember Stitch crochet pattern is a unique looking crochet pattern with lots of texture perfect when wanting to add striking design to your crochet project.
I have worked the Ember Stitch crochet pattern using two different colours which really brings out the texture in the stitch.
In order to construct the stitch you will work rows of cluster stitches and rows of front post stitches with rows of single crochet in-between. All of the texture is to the front side of the fabric. You could use this stitch pattern in many different kinds of projects!

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 two colours: Colour A and colour B.
- To begin make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch you will need an even number of stitches for your foundation chain. For example, with colour A, ch 34.
Instructions
Row One: Sc in the second ch from your hook and in each st across, ch 1, turn.
Row Two: Sc in the 1st st, *ch 1, sk the next st, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Switch to colour B in the final st, ch 3, turn.
Row Three: CL in the next ch-1 sp, *ch 1, CL in the next ch-1 sp; Rpt from * across, dc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
Row Four: Sc in each st and each ch-1 sp across. Change to colour A in the final st, ch 1, turn.
Row Five: Sc in the 1st st, *fpdc around the post of the middle stitch in the CL 2 rows below, sk the next st, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across, sc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
Row Six: Sc in the 1st st, *ch 1, sk the next st, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across, switch to colour B in the final st. Ch 3, turn.

For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows 3-6 changing colours every two rows. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
