Crochet Stitch Dictionary (Twitter Post)

Some of the most common stitches in crochet are the chain stitch (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc) and double crochet (dc) stitches.

New stitch patterns are created when we use our common crochet stitches together. For example the Suzette stitch (also known as the Thicket Stitch), is created by working single crochet stitches (sc) and double crochet stitches (dc) in a repetitive pattern. This is a beginner friendly stitch and you can try it out with my Suzette Crochet Hat Pattern here.

By working a combination of these basic crochet stitches and chains you can create openwork (lacy fabrics) and mesh designs. You can create texture with crochet post stitches, popcorns, puff stitches and crochet cables. You can also create interest by using stitches like spike stitches and dropped double crochet stitches.

  1. Good morning

    Kind regards

  2. Hi Sharon, Usually when a pattern reads “crochet 8 times” it is a repeat of something in the sentence before the wording. I’m uncertain what the 6 on the end is for though. I would have thought it could be a stitch count but maybe are you increasing or decreasing by 6 stitches on that row/round?

  4. Thanks Verna 🙂 I’ve been meaning to add the post for a while – it will help me too so I can find things. With more than 2000 posts on my site now it is getting hard to remember which words to search for things with!

  5. This is a great reference Rhondda. I want to make a stitch sampler blanket to use up some yarn, and this will be an easy way to determine the stitches to use.
