ABBREVIATIONS
ch = Chain
sl st = Slip Stitch
st = Stitch
beg = beginning
YO = Yarn Over
FPDC = Front Post Double Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
* = Repeat what’s in between * for rest of row
Repeat what’s in between | for # indicated.
To start:
Chain in multiples of 2 + 1
Row 1 This is a PREP ROW for the Jagged stitch
Dc in 3rd ch from hook, DC in all chains
Ch 2 and turn
Row 2 – Jagged Stitch Row
Our first stitch will be our Special Stitch – Jagged Crochet Stitch
Another tip before you get started. You will always start your Jagged Crochet stitch row by grabbing the second DC post of the row. You will grab it up as though you are making a FPDC.
Never use the 1st DC of the row to make your 1st Jagged crochet stitch of your row.
*YO and grab the post of the next DC, (If it’s the beginning of the row, you will grab the second post of the row)
YO and only pull through 2 sts leaving your last loop on the hook.
then moving over to the next DC, WITHOUT a YO,
insert your hook into the next DC and pull up a loop,
YO and pull through 2, YO and pull through 2 just like a
normal DC at that point.
Then Chain One – This is very important! *
IMPORTANT TIP
Skip the next DC post because you used this stitch for the second part of your Jagged Stitch. Remember this stitch takes TWO stitches to complete. You’ll always be using every other DC post on your row.
Repeat this for the whole row.
DC in top of ending ch 2.
Ch 2 and turn
Row 3 – this is a prep row.
The ch 2 counts as your first stitch.
This is how you’ll crochet your DC’s after a row of Jagged sts
First you come up to the ch 1 space of the stitch (remember the Jagged crochet stitch uses 2 sts)
*grab up the FLO of the 1st ch 1 st and DC,
then DC in the next st as normal, go under both loops.*
repeat this for the entire row.
CH 2 and turn.
Row 4 – Jagged st row
So with your Prep row of DC’s finished you can start your Jagged crochet stitches for the row.
*YO and grab the post of the next DC, (If it’s the beginning of the row, you will grab the second post of the row)
YO and only pull through 2 sts leaving your last loop on the hook.
then moving over to the next DC, WITHOUT a YO,
insert your hook into the next DC and pull up a loop,
YO and pull through 2, YO and pull through 2 just like a
normal DC at that point.
Then Chain One – This is very important! *
Repeat this for the whole row.
DC in top of ending ch 2.
Repeat Rows 3 and 4
