In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the spiked stacked triangles stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a spike stitch (or a single crochet spike stitch). The spiked stacked triangles stitch is a repeat of four rows.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 8/4, 50 g = 165 m, color: 706 (sea green), and a 2.0 mm hook.
