Crochet Paris Stitch: Waffle-Like Texture with UK & US Instructions

The Crochet Paris Stitch is a charming, waffle-like textured stitch that adds depth and interest to blankets, scarves, cushions and other cozy projects. It's straightforward to work and creates a repeating textured motif that looks great in single or multiple colors — many crocheters change color every two rows for a striped effect.

Notes

Make a foundation chain in multiples of 3 plus 4 chains. The pattern is worked in rows; repeat the Pattern Row until you reach the required length. Many crocheters change color every two rows for a subtle striped effect.
