Crochet Seed Stitch Pattern
The Crochet Seed Stitch Pattern is a lightly textured stitch that is bumpy and reminds people of scattered seeds. This stitch is perfect for blankets, scarves, and dishcloths.
Materials
- 1 ball of scrap yarn or yarn you prefer using.
- H hook 5mm
- Tapestry needle
Abbreviations (US terms)
- Single crochet - sc
- Chains - ch
- Double crochet - dc
Notes
- Stitch Construction: The seed stitch is created using a combination of single crochet and double crochet stitches. There are no variations to this stitch, except for making it in the round. Using a different combination of alternating stitches results in a different stitch. If you do the seed stitch but switch the color every row, you are basically making the crochet houndstooth pattern.
- Swatch Adjustment: When making a stitch swatch, you may need to adjust the chain length if you want to make your project wider.
- Finished Size: The finished size is roughly 10 inches by 10 inches.
Instructions
- We will be making the crochet seed stitch pattern in rows not rounds.
- Ch x31. If you need to adjust the chain make sure it is in a multiple of 2 + 1.
- Row 1: Starting in the second chain from the hook make a sc.
- Then a dc in the next stitch.
- The seed stitch is made alternating sc and dc stitches. So repeat the process of alternating sc, dc for the rest of the row. Ch x1 and turn. The ch is a turning ch so do not work in it. Skip over it in the next row and go directly to the last stitch worked (30).
- Row 2-24: If your last stitch in the last row was a dc (which it should have been) start off with a sc, then dc and alternate sc and dc stitches for the row. Remember to ch +1 for turning after each row (30).
- When all the rows are complete, fasten off and weave in the tail.
- And now you know how to make the crochet seed stitch! Happy crocheting!
