The Twisted Single Crochet Stitch is an easy alternative to the crochet Crab Stitch (also known as the Reversed Single crochet stitch).

This stitch will make a perfect elegant crochet border. It’s minimal but still has a beautiful effect.

You can use it in any project you’d like, from blankets to hot pads, washcloths, bags, and even garments.

Materials

• Crochet hook 3.0 mm
• Sport (#2) weight yarn – I used Rosarios 4 bio love yarn

Abbreviations

• sc – single crochet

Instructions

Ch 1, start working a single crochet stitch into the next stitch: insert the hook into the indicated stitch, and pull up a loop, now twist your hook counterclockwise, yarn over and pull the yarn through the 2 loops.

Repeat in the next stitches: insert the hook into the indicated stitch, and pull up a loop, now twist your hook counterclockwise, yarn over and pull the yarn through the 2 loops.

How to Join the Twisted Single Crochet Stitch

Now that you have reached the end of the round, and want to join seamlessly, without the join being visible, follow these steps:

Since we can’t see the top of the stitch, we are joining on the side of the stitch.

1. Turn your work to the wrong side, and remove the hook from the loop.
2. Insert the hook from right to left into the 2 “legs” of the first stitch of the round. These are the first 2 “legs” of the beginning of the round.
3. Pull the loop of the last stitch you made through the 2 legs, and fasten off.
