How to Crochet the Jackpot Stitch Photo Tutorial

The Jackpot Stitch crochet pattern is easier than it looks as it is worked entirely in single crochet and half double crochet stitches!

At first glance, however, the design looks so much more complicated. The simplicity of this design is one of the great things about this pattern. The other great thing about it is that it is reversible. You can use it in a wide variety of projects. Although I work the pattern in only a solid colour here, it may be one that you want to try in multiple.

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 an odd number of stitches for your foundation chain.
