The Alpine Crochet Stitch pattern is another one of those beloved, classical stitch patterns that everyone should have in their repertoire.
It’s irresistible because of its beautiful texture that I have had described to me as “little spruce trees.” The Alpine Stitch is a popular stitch to use in blankets, cardigans and hats because of its warmth.
As for the make up of the stitch pattern, it is a pattern that repeats itself over four rows. The textured rows are fairly easy to remember and then each textured row set in between a return row of single crochet stitches. It really is not that difficult to work as you will see in the written pattern and video tutorial below.
Materials for this Tutorial:
For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of the Basic Stitch Anti Pilling yarn by Lion Brand. It is a soft worsted weight 100% acrylic yarn. The hook shown in the video below is a 5 mm Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan Yarn – one of my favourites! However you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.

Pattern Notes:
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a single colour.
This pattern is written using American crochet terms.
To begin make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch you will need an odd number of stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 33.
Row One:
Dc in the 4th ch from your hook and in each ch across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
Sc in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 3 (counts as a dc), turn.
Row Three:
*Fpdc around the post of the next dc 2 rows below, dc in the next st of the previous row (skipping the sc in behind the fpdc just worked); Rpt from * across to the final st, dc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
Row Four:
Sc in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 3, turn.
Row Five:
Dc in the next st, *fpdc around the post of the next dc 2 rows below, dc in the next st of the previous row; Rpt from * across, dc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows 1-5 for the pattern. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
Lovely and easy!! Thank you!
