Crochet Thermal Stitch
Each row you work up offers a new layer of snuggly delight, perfect for those who want to create blankets, scarves, and wearables that not only fend off the cold but also add a splash of handmade charm to everyday life. So, grab your hook and let your creativity run wild; with the Crochet Thermal Stitch, you're knitting together not just threads, but a tapestry of comfort and craft.
Materials Needed:
- 100% cotton yarn
- Size H crochet hook (size up if you crochet tightly)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Instructions:
Starting the Project:
Foundation Chain:
- Make a slip knot and chain 10. Add one more chain for the turning chain. (You can adjust the number of chains based on the size of your project; the number should be even for this pattern).
Setting up the First Row:
- Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and each chain across. You will have 10 single crochets.
- Working the Thermal Stitch:
Beginning the Thermal Stitch Rows:
Row 1:
- Chain 1 and turn your work.
- Starting from the first stitch, single crochet by inserting the hook into the back loop of the stitch from the current row and the back loop of the corresponding stitch from the foundation chain (row below the current).
- Continue across the row ensuring you only pick up the back loop from each layer.
Continuing the Pattern:
- For each subsequent row, chain 1 and turn.
Repeat the process:
- insert the hook into the back loop of the stitch directly above (current row) and the back loop of the stitch from the previous row.
- Work this pattern until the piece reaches your desired size.
Finishing:
Last Row:
- Work a normal single crochet row to create a neat top edge.
Creating a Loop (Optional):
- If using as a trivet or hot pad, you might want to add a hanging loop.
- Chain 10, then slip stitch into the same space where the chain started to form the loop. Secure and cut the yarn.
Weave in Ends:
- Use a yarn needle to weave in all loose ends securely.
