Mountain Ridges Textured Afghan Crochet Stitch Tutorial

If you’re looking for a VERY textured crochet stitch, Mountain Ridge Stitch might be just what you need! This design is so interesting and adds so much depth to any project. I just love the mountain and valley-like texture!

Learn how to crochet the Mountain Ridges Textured Afghan Stitch with this tutorial.

Finished Size: 12” square

Materials:

  • 3 oz. – #4 worsted weight yarn
  • Size “I” crochet hook

Pattern Notes: If you would like to change the size of your project, increase/decrease 12 stitches at a time. So, your beginning chain should be increments of 12 + 2. (38, 50, 62, 74, 86, 98, etc)

Special Stitches: This pattern uses FPtr & BPtr. They are made very similar to the FPdc & BPdc.

  • FPdc – Front Post double crochet
  • BPdc – Back Post double crochet
