The crochet Wedge Stitch almost resembles crochet leaves! It is worked by working long chains, that are then worked into to form triangles.

And the wonderful thing about this stitch is that even though it looks complicated, it is quite easy using basic crochet stitches.  The most challenging part of the stitch pattern is working into the chain stitches.

The Crochet Wedge Stitch worked in a copper coloured yarn

The stitch pattern is similar on the back and the front.  It is not quite a solid fabric but would still work well in a variety of projects including your more lacy designs.  You may work it in a variety of yarn weights and solid or multiple colours

Materials for this Tutorial:

For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of Pima Cotton Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn in a single colour. It is a worsted weight yarn. The hook shown in the video below is a 5 mm birchwood crochet hook by Rowan Yarns.  However you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose, even experiment with colour!Thank you so much for stopping by!

Notes:

This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial. You may work the stitch in one colour or many.  I will be working the design in a solid colour.

To begin, make a slip knot and then chain your desired number of chains.  For this stitch pattern you will need a multiple of six stitches, plus two for your foundation chain (6 + 2).

For example, ch 26.

Row One:

Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook, *Wp, sk the next 5 chs, sc in the next ch; rpt from * across.  Ch 5 (counts as a dtr), turn.

Row Two:

*Sc in the top of the wp, working in the ch at the base of the wp sc in the next ch, hdc in the next ch, dc in the next ch, tr in the next ch, dtr in the next ch, sk the next sc; Rpt from * across until 2 sts remain, dtr2tog over the final 2 sts.  Ch 1, turn.

Row Three:

Sc in the 1st st, *Wp, sk the next 5 sts, sc in the next st; rpt from * across, sc in the top of the turning ch.  Ch 5, turn.

And that’s it!

For the rest of the pattern repeat rows two and three for as long as you would like.  Fasten off and weave in your ends.
