How to Crochet the Suzette Stitch
The Suzette Stitch is one of my absolute favorite crochet stitches to do!
Besides the fact that it is so easy, it creates the most amazing texture and a solid fabric. Sometimes when you’re making blankets or clothing, you don’t want a bunch of holes that let the cold in. This is where the Suzette Stitch shines!
You can use it on quite a few different styles of crochet projects. You only need a multiple of 2 for your chains!

(These instructions are assuming that you are already familiar with crocheting the basic stitches of single crochet and double crochet.)
For a few finished examples of the Suzette Stitch, you can check out Cullen’s Baby Blanket and the Old Glory American Flag Afghan patterns here on my blog.
The yarn I used in this tutorial is Red Heart Soft Yarn in Tangerine that you can purchase at this link. The hook I’m using is a size H/8 (5.00 mm) Boye hook that I bought at Wal-Mart.

So without further ado, let’s get started!
Suzette Stitch
Begin with a chain that is a multiple of 2 (or just an even number of chains).
In the second chain from the hook, single crochet once.
Insert your hook back into the same stitch you just did the single crochet, and work a double crochet.
Now you are going to skip one chain.
After skipping the one chain, you will single crochet in the next chain.
Insert your hook back into the same stitch you just did the single crochet, and work a double crochet.
You will continue to repeat the pattern of single crochet and double crochet in the same stitch, then skip one stitch until you reach the last two chains.
Skip the second to the last chain and in the final chain, only single crochet once.
Your first row is completed. Now chain one.
And turn your work.
In the first stitch that the chain one comes out of, single crochet.
Just like on the previous row, double crochet in the same stitch with the single crochet you just made.
Skip one stitch (that was a double crochet on the previous row). Now single crochet and double crochet in the next stitch.
Continue to repeat the pattern of single crochet and double crochet in the same stitch, then skip one stitch until there are two stitches remaining.
Skip the next stitch and single crochet one time in the last stitch.
Chain one.
Turn your work.
Continue working the pattern until your piece measures the desired length or number of rows.
And that’s it. It’s super simple and once you get going it works up quickly.
You’ve just completed the Suzette Stitch!

I’m so excited to hear that you love the stitch and tutorial! Thank you so much for commenting! Have fun at Hobby Lobby! It’s one of my favorite stores!
I absolutely love this. Your tutorial is wonderful on the stitch. I made a couple dishcloths using that stitch but the last stitch was a problem as it was sc and dc like the rest and the cloth just wasn’t even. You made it very clear. Can’t wait to get to Hobby Lobby.
I agree! It’s still one of my favorites! Thanks for commenting!
Love the finished look in this pattern.
You’re welcome, Barbara! I’m so glad you liked the tutorial. Have you tried printfriendly.com? I hope this helps!
Beautifl stitch. Thank you. Is there any way to print the instructions?
You’re welcome, Tori! I’m so glad that you enjoyed the Suzette stitch! I know it would be amazing in a cardigan and super warm. I did happen to find a pattern for a cardigan that uses this stitch and the designer is awesome. The only thing about this pattern is that it’s short sleeved. I’m sure you could probably add long sleeves if you wanted to.

Thank you Erica for this great tutorial! I was able to make several dishcloths using this new to me stitch 😁 Now my favorite dishcloth “pattern”! I’m thinking of making my first ever cardigan and will probably be using this stitch for it. Any tips for a pattern to follow using this stitch for that?
