The twisted single crochet stitch adds charm to your project without too much fuss. Perfect for a simple border to frame your crochet work.
Also, we’ve all had an edgy border, that could use a little LTC. The Twisted Single Crochet Stitch will help you do that. It is simple and easy to do.
The twisted single crochet stitch is an excellent alternative to the crab stitch or the reverse single crochet stitch.
Note for British Crocheters - The term single crochet (SC) in US patterns corresponds to the double crochet (DC) in British terminology.
The Twisted Single Crochet Stitch - Instructions
- Insert your hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop.
- Pro tip: Expand the stitch a little - about
twice as tall as usual. This makes the twist stand out and keeps the border softer and easier to work with.
-
Next, gently turn your hook towards yourself and all the way around. Counter-clockwise if you are right-handed (clockwise if you’re left-handed). This twists the loops on the hook.
-
Finish the stitch with a yarn-over and pull through all loops.
