I think I'm addicted to the "knit" single crochet stitch!

I only discovered this stitch recently, and I simply can’t stop! Help! :sweat_smile:
Anyone tried it? I think it is also called waistcoat stitch. It’s basically working the sc into the base of the stitch between the two vertical bars, instead of the top of the stitch!

It so cool! But you need to make sure you work loosely because if you are too tight it can be hard to insert the hook between the bars :smile:

I am planning to implement this stitch in a few of the upcoming Ribblr Free Designs, and I plan to also include a video tutorial, so hopefully it will work for you! :heartpulse:

I’ve made several sweaters with this stitch and recently wrote a colourwork pattern for a cowl with the waistcoat stitch for the main piece. It’s so addictive for sure!

It looks so pretty, so nice and straight. I must try it some time.
I’m very curious to see the free Ribblr design you’re planning to use it for ! @Lir

Still in the process of trying an idea, then changing it a few time, but I’m almost there :slight_smile:
Hopefully soon I’ll finish it and will give you an update!

I first heard about that stitch by using tunisian crochet. I love the fabric it creates.
It also gives people, who can’t knit, the opportunity to geht quite the same effect with crochet / tunisian crochet.

I know! That’s why I also really love it!
I know how to knit, but I feel more comfortable with a hook in my hand, so it’s an excellent solution! :blush:

It’s so good for colorwork in rounds without turning, because the stitch is always worked in the middle, and not to the side!
