How to Crochet the Boardwalk Stitch Photo Tutorial

The Boardwalk Stitch crochet pattern is created using a really neat and unique technique while working basic double crochet stitches!

I love crochet stitches that are worked a little differently than the rest. They often create a unique texture, and this Boardwalk Stitch pattern is no exception.

It is a lot of fun and creates a great ridge of texture that runs horizontally along your fabric.

The stitch can be worked using any multiple so this stitch pattern is a great canidate for almost any project!

Learn how to crochet the Boardwalk Stitch with this photo tutorial.

Materials

• worsted-weight yarn
• 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook

Abbreviations

• 3rd Lp – Third Loop: In this stitch pattern when you look at the front of your work, you will see a loop running along just under the front loop (that is closest to you) of your stitch. This is the “3rd Loop.”
• Ch – Chain Stitch
• Dc – Double Crochet
• Hdc – Half Double Crochet
• Hdc2tog – Half Double Crochet Two Stitches Together (Yo, insert your hook into the indicated st, yo and draw up a loop, yo, insert your hook into the next st, yo and draw up a loop, yo and draw through all loops on your hook. Hdc2tog made.)
• Rpt – Repeat
• Sl St – Slip Stitch
• Yo – Yarn Over

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 a solid colour.
• To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you may use any number of stitches for your foundation chain. For example, ch 30.

Instructions

Row One: Dc in the 4th ch from your hook (starting ch-3 counts as a dc) and in each ch across. Ch 2 (does NOT count as a st), turn.

Row Two: Hdc in the 1st st, hdc2tog all the way across always starting in same st as previous st, dc in top of your turning ch. Ch 3, turn.

Row Three: *Beginning in the next st, inserting your hook from back to front under the top two loops of the next st, grab a hold of the 3rd loop and pull it to the back of your work and work a dc in that loop only; Rpt from * across, dc in final st leaving the turning ch unworked. Ch 2, turn.

And that’s it!

For the rest of the pattern, simply repeat rows two and three. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
