commended Materials

In this tutorial, I use LionBrand Cotton24/7 cotton yarn. I find that the texture stands out more with cotton yarn, and its bright colors are beneficial during tutorials. For this yarn I use a 4mm/G-6 crochet hook.

However, if you're new to crocheting and just practicing, I highly recommend using any solid color acrylic yarn that works with a 5mm/H-8 hook size.

Directions

For the Suzette Stitch you always start with odd number of FCH (so you'll get even number of stitches)

Crochet foundation chain in orange yarn laid flat with a crochet hook inserted into the last chain loop.

Make SC into the 2nd ch from the hook (SC = insert the hook into the 2nd ch, YO, pull up a loop (you have 2 loops on your hook), YO and pull up a loop through 2 loops). Visit this link for the full tutorial how to single crochet.

In the same chain where you created your single crochet, make a double crochet (DC = yarn over, insert the hook into the chain, yarn over and pull up a loop, having 3 loops on your hook, then yarn over, pull through the first two loops, yarn over, and pull through the remaining two loops). - visit this link for the full tutorial how to double crochet).

Then skip one chain and into the next one make the combination of SC and DC in one chain/stitch. You repeat this (one ch skipped + combination of SC and DC) until you reach the last chain, where you will work a regular SC.

Then ch 1 and turn the project as book page.

Now, create your SC + DC combination in the first stitch (the SC stitch from the previous row). From this point forward, always skip one stitch (the DC from the previous row) and make the combination in the following stitch (the SC from the previous row). Continue this pattern until you have two stitches remaining. Skip the next stitch and work a regular SC into the last one.

Ta-da! Another stitch for your collection is done.

The Suzette Stitch is simple, elegant, and now part of your crochet toolbox. If you loved this tutorial, be sure to share it, pin it, or try it in your next project. Happy stitching, friend! 💛
