How do you crochet grit stitch?

As I mentioned above, the crochet grit stitch uses basic crochet stitches – single and double crochet.

To create the grit stitch, you will alternate single and double crochet on Row 1.

On Row 2, you will then work double crochet into single crochet from previous row, and single crochet into each double crochet from previous row.

It might sound a little confusing, however once you get the swatch onto your hook, you will master the crochet grit stitch on no time.

In simple terms, you will work sc, dc, sc, dc on Row 1 and dc, sc, dc, sc on Row 2. You can then simply work as many sets of these two rows as you need to complete your chosen project.

The scarf in the video uses Knitcrate Audine Wools Mellow in Cordial. I used 2 skeins for the scarf.

It is great choice of stitch for a scarf as it is completely reversible. It creates the same lovely subtle texture on both sides of the scarf.
