💜 Why You’ll Love This Project
✅ Beginner-Friendly – Uses only chain, single crochet, and double crochet.
🧶 Beautiful Texture – Creates a dense yet soft fabric with lots of dimension.
🎨 Versatile Uses – Perfect for blankets, baby blankets, dishcloths, or scarves.
✨ Works With Any Yarn – Try chunky yarn for cozy throws or cotton for washcloths.
⏱️ Quick to Learn – Easy stitch repeat that’s simple to memorize.
🌟 Great for Gifts – Handmade projects with this stitch feel extra special and professional.
✨ Inspiration Behind the Design
I wanted to highlight a stitch that feels both simple and elegant—something that beginners could pick up right away, yet experienced crocheters would still love using for bigger projects. The Suzette Stitch was the perfect choice. It combines just two basic stitches—single crochet and double crochet—but when worked together, they create a beautifully textured fabric that looks much more advanced than it really is.
This stitch has been a longtime favorite of mine because it’s so versatile. Whether you’re making a chunky throw blanket for cozy evenings, a soft baby blanket as a thoughtful gift, or quick makes like dishcloths and scarves, the Suzette Stitch always delivers a polished, professional look.
💡 Tip: Try using cotton yarn for washcloths, soft pastels for baby blankets, or bulky yarn for a chunky Suzette Stitch throw—you’ll be amazed at how different the stitch feels depending on the yarn you choose!

🧾 Pattern Instructions – Suzette Stitch Sample
Yarn: #4 Medium (Acrylic)
Hook: 4.0 mm
Sample Foundation Chain: 40 (even number)
📋 Written Instructions
Foundation Chain
Ch 40 (any even number works).
Row 1 (Foundation Row)
Work 1 sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across.
(39 sc total for this sample)
Row 2 (First Suzette Row – Wrong Side)
In the very first stitch, work (sc, dc) in the same stitch.
Skip the next stitch.
In the next stitch, work *(sc, dc) in the same stitch.
Repeat (skip 1, (sc, dc) in next stitch) across.
End with 1 sc in the last stitch.
Row 3 (Right Side)
In the first stitch (the sc from the row below), work (sc, dc) in the same stitch.
Skip the dc below.
Repeat across, ending with sc in the last stitch.
Repeat Row 3
Continue working Row 3 until your piece measures the desired length.
💡 Tips
The foundation row of single crochet makes the bottom edge sturdier and prevents stretching.
The Suzette Stitch always works into the sc of the previous row and skips the dc — that’s what creates the lovely texture.
Your edges stay neat because each row ends with a single crochet in the last stitch.
📏 Project Size Guide – Starting Chains
Since the Suzette Stitch requires an even number of chains, here are a few suggested starting chains for common projects. Adjust length/width as desired:
🧼 Washcloth / Dishcloth
Chain: 28–32 (approx. 8–9 inches wide)
Rows: Work until square.
Cotton yarn works best for durability.
🍼 Baby Blanket
Chain: 80–100 (approx. 28–36 inches wide)
Rows: Work until length is 30–36 inches.
Use soft pastels or baby yarn for a gentle finish.
🛋️ Throw Blanket
Chain: 120–140 (approx. 45–55 inches wide)
Rows: Work until length is 55–60 inches.
Bulky #5 yarn makes a fast, cozy throw.
🧣 Scarf
Chain: 26–34 (approx. 6–8 inches wide)
Rows: Work until length is 60–70 inches.
Great with lightweight yarn for drape.
🪞 Sampler Blanket Squares
Chain: 30–40 (approx. 10–12 inches wide)
Rows: Work until square.
Perfect for combining with other stitch tutorials in a stitch sampler blanket.
💡 Tip: Always remember to keep the starting chain even, and feel free to make a quick swatch to measure how many stitches per inch you’re getting with your yarn/hook combo. That way you can customize the size of your project easily!
