Single crochet in the second chain from the hook, [chain 4, skip 3 chains, single crochet in next chain] repeat everything in the brackets across, then turn. Do not chain anything, and simply work (2 double crochet, chain 3, single crochet) in all chain 4 loops across, and then turn your work. This can be a little awkward with the first stitch as it seems a bit distorted as it is pulled over, this is the correct approach as it will set the first stitches up the match the rest. All subsequent rows are worked the same, no beginning chain, working (2 double crochet, chain 3, single crochet) in all chain 3 spaces across. You work this until you have the desired length. This stitch can really benefit from blocking, but the type of yarn can influence how well this works.<\/p>\n<p>The more formal written pattern looks like this:<\/p>\n<p>Ch a multiple of 4 +2<\/p>\n<p>Row 1: Sc in 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;ch from hook, [ch 4, sk 3, sc in next ch] across, turn.<\/p>\n<p>Row 2: [(2dc, ch 3, sc) in ch-4 sp] across, turn.<\/p>\n<p>Row 3-desired length: [(2dc, ch 3, sc in each ch-3 sp] across, turn.<\/p>\n<p>You may want to add a solid border to the stitch to limit the stretch, but that is a personal choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are times when you can come across a crochet stitch that breaks all the rules, for me the stitch I refer to as Titter Tat does just that.
