The Camel stitch is quite an understated stitch but a fabulous addition to your stitch library. A well placed row of camel stitches can really make your project pop and help to frame the other textures and stitches in your project. You can see what I mean with the photo below. Here the camel stitch was used both where indicated by the arrows and also to create the ribbing effect of the roll neck.

This stitch is best worked in light or neutral colors so you can see the texture better. It’s also a bit of an alternating stitch, because you work single crochets on top of double crochets from the previous row, and double crochets on top of single crochets from the previous row.

This week’s stitch of the week is the Extended Half-Double Crochet (exhdc).
This stitch makes a comfy looking fabric, ideal for blankets, scarves, cowls, and hats. It also works up in any type of yarn weight and color.

Welcome to Stitch of the Week! This week’s tutorial is the paired single crochet stitch.
Also known as the interlocking single crochet stitch, this is a quick and easy stitch to do. It is worked by single crocheting two-together across the row. To keep the stitch count, each stitch will be worked twice, as well as starting each row with a single crochet in the first stitch.
