The Boardwalk Stitch crochet pattern is created using a really neat and unique technique while working basic double crochet stitches!
I love crochet stitches that are worked a little differently than the rest. They often create a unique texture, and this Boardwalk Stitch pattern is no exception.
The Boardwalk Stitch crochet pattern is an easy two-row repeat. You begin the repeat by working a row of half double two together stitches and follow with a row of double crochet stitches. The double crochet stitches are worked, however, from back to front and around the third loop of the stitch down below.
It is a lot of fun and creates a great ridge of texture that runs horizontally along your fabric.
The stitch can be worked using any multiple so this stitch pattern is a great canidate for almost any project!
The Materials:
For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in a single colour. It is a worsted-weight yarn. You could also work this pattern in two or more colours. I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook. In the video tutorial below you will see me working with a Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan. However, you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.
Thank you so much for stopping by! If you enjoy the tutorial below, be sure to also check out some of the many other crochet stitch tutorials on my site and pin this for later! You may wish to start with the beautiful Textured Star Stitch Crochet Pattern.

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 solid colour.
This pattern is written in American crochet terms.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you may use any number of stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 30.
Row One:
Dc in the 4th ch from your hook (starting ch-3 counts as a dc) and in each ch across. Ch 2 (does NOT count as a st), turn.
Row Two:
Hdc in the 1st st, hdc2tog all the way across always starting in same st as previous st, dc in top of your turning ch. Ch 3, turn.
Row Three:
*Beginning in the next st, inserting your hook from back to front under the top two loops of the next st, grab a hold of the 3rd loop and pull it to the back of your work and work a dc in that loop only; Rpt from * across, dc in final st leaving the turning ch unworked. 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.
