The Waffle Stitch crochet pattern is one of those classic crochet stitches that every crocheter should have in their repertoire!
And it is easy to see why! It is a simple repetitive crochet pattern that works up fairly quickly. Not only that, it is full of a gorgeous, thick and cozy texture! It is a favourite crochet stitch pattern for blankets and winter accessories. In fact I have featured this stitch in my popular Waffle Beanie!
Materials Used in this Tutorial:
For this tutorial, including the free video tutorial below, I used the Brava Tweed Worsted weight yarn by KnitPicks and WeCrochet. This is a worsted/medium weight yarn that is 97% acrylic yarn and is super soft!
I have paired it with a 5 mm (H/8) Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan Yarn.

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 a multiple of 3 +5 stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 35.
Row One:
Dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch st across. Ch 2, turn.
Row Two:
Dc in 1st st, *fpdc around post of next st, dc in the tops of each of the next 2 sts; Rpt from * across until 2 sts remain, fpdc around the post of the next st, dc in the top of the final st. Ch 2, turn.
Row Three:
Dc in the tops of each of the 1st 2 sts, *fpdc around post of each of the next 2 sts, dc in top of the next st; Rpt from * across ending with a dc in the tops of each of the final 2 sts. Ch 2, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows two and three. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
