The wattle stitch is another beautiful stitch texture, fine and solid. Ideal for baby blanket, shawls and scarves, beanies, as well as huggable cardigans. You could do with a dishcloth using your favourite cotton yarn.

Let’s get started

Stitch Challenge

These are the basic crochet skills needed to be able to crochet the pattern.

sl st – slip stitch
ch – chain
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet

Stitch Standards

I am using the US/International Standard Crochet Terms

Foundation Chains

This stitch requires multiple of 3 stitches + 2 + additional 1 for the base chain.
Tensions: If you are to make 21 stitches, add an extra 2 chains, and another 1 chain for the base, giving you a total of 24 chains.

Row 1 (Right Side)

Skip the first 2 ch from the hook (count as 1 sc), * work [1 sc, 1 ch, 1 dc] into the next chain, skip the next 2 ch, repeat from * ending at 1 sc into the last ch. turn

Row 2 (Wrong Side)

1 ch ( count as 1 sc), skip the first sc and next dc, * work [1 sc, 1 ch, 1 dc] into the next chain space, skip the next sc and dc, repeat from * ending with [1 sc, 1 ch, 1 dc] into last chain space, skip next sc, 1 sc on top of the turning chain, turn.

Repeat Row 2 to continue.
