Block stitch

In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the block stitch working in rows. This is an easy beginner friendly stitch. This crochet stitch looks great if you use multiple colors, but have in mind that you will have some ends to weave in if you work with more than one color 🙂 This stitch is reversible and it is beautiful on both sides. It is a repeat of two rows.

Photo instructions for the block crochet stitch

Row 1

1. Start by making a chain of multiples of three plus one chain.

2. You will make a double crochet in the fourth chain from your hook. So, yarn over.

3. Insert your hook in the fourth chain from your hook (in the back of the chain).

4. Yarn over.

5. Pull the yarn through. Now you have three loops on your hook.

6. Yarn over.

7. Pull the yarn through the first two loops on you hook. Now you have two loops on your hook.

8. Yarn over.

9. Pull the yarn through both loops. You have just made a double crochet.

10. Keep making double crochets until the end of the row.

11. Now you have to change yarn color. So, take your white yarn and chain one. Then pull the end of the linen yarn to tighten and secure the white yarn. You can cut the linen yarn.

12. Then chain one.

Row 2

13. Turn your work around. Now you will have to make a single crochet between the last two double crochets of the previous row like it is indicated in the picture.

14. So, insert your hook between the two double crochets and yarn over.

15. Pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook.

16. Yarn over.

17. Pull the yarn through both loops on your hook. You have just made a single crochet.

18. Then chain two. Next you will have to skip three double crochets of the previous row and make a single crochet.

19. So, skip three double crochets of the previous row and make a single crochet.

20. Then chain two, skip three double crochets of the previous row and make a single crochet.

21. Continue working in the same way until the end of the row. When you reach the end, make the last single crochet between the last two stitches of the previous row (the double crochet and the turning chain).

22. Then you can cut the white yarn and take the linen yarn.

23. Chain one with the linen yarn. Then pull the end of the white yarn to tighten and secure the linen yarn.

24. Then chain three.

Row 3

25. Turn your work around. Now you will have to make three double crochets in the chain two space of the previous row like it is indicated in the picture. So, yarn over.

26. Insert your hook in the chain two space.

27. Yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have three loops on your hook.

28. Yarn over.

29. Pull the yarn through the first two loops on your hook.

30. Yarn over.

31. Pull the yarn through both loops on your hook.

32. Then make two more double crochets in the same chain two space of the previous row.

33. Next make three double crochets in the next chain two space of the previous row.

34. Continue working in the same way until the end of the row. You will have to make a double crochet in the last stitch of the previous row like it is indicated in the picture.

35. So, make the last double crochet in the last stitch of the row. For the rest of the pattern repeat row 2 and row 3.

Finished block stitch

36. When you make as many rows as you need, you will have to weave in the ends.

37. Done! This is how the good side looks.

38. This is how the bad side looks.
