How to Crochet the Field Stitch Photo Tutorial
The Field Stitch crochet pattern is a wonderful solid stitch with a spiked stitch texture! It is perfect for those warmer projects like blankets and sweaters!
The Field Stitch crochet pattern is also quite dense however, so depending on the yarn that you use, you may find the fabric stiff. The other thing to note about this stitch pattern is that the design that the spike stitches create is all to the front side.

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: Sc in the 1st st, *CL beginning by inserting your hook into the st directly below the previous st 3 rows below then complete the st as per the “Stitches and Abbreviations” above, sc in each of the next 3 sts; Rpt from * across to the final st, sc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
Row Four: Sc in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.
