How to Crochet the Springtime Stitch Photo Tutorial
This beautiful Springtime crochet stitch pattern reminds me of Spring with its flower-like clusters. I can imagine it worked in one colour or many!
The Springtime crochet stitch pattern is so easy to work and is created almost entirely in double crochet stitches. It’s very pretty, and I already have a crochet bag that showcases it. I’m so pleased with how it turning out.
In this tutorial today, I will be working this stitch pattern in rows. It is created over a four-row repeat featuring double crochet stitches worked in clusters and crossed. The other stitch that you will see in this pattern is the fun half double crochet slip stitch. I really do love the raised texture that it creates.

- To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need a multiple of three stitches for your foundation chain. For example, ch 33.

Row Two: Hdc sl st in the 1st st and each st across. ch 1, turn.
Row Three: Working in the blo across, sc in the 1st st and in each st across. ch 3, turn.
Row Four: Sk the next 2 sts, *dc in the next st, ch 1, dc back into the first skipped st, sk the next 2 sts; Rpt from * across until 1 st remains, dc in the final st. Ch 3, turn.
Row Five: Work 3 dc in the 1st ch-1 sp, *3 dc in the next ch-1 sp; Rpt from * across to the turning ch, dc in the top of the turning ch. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern, simply repeat rows 2-5 for the pattern. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
