Create height and texture in your next crochet project using this unique Double Crochet Column Stitch crochet pattern!
Over the next few weeks I will be sharing a few column stitches with you! Column Crochet Stitches are tall crochet stitches. Our stitch today will be the shortest of the three which has a base of a double crochet. We will then work our way up to the triple/treble stitch and then with the double treble stitch.
Column stitches are fairly fun to work. You begin by working your base stitch, such as a double crochet, you then work the next stitch by working through the post of the previous stitch in particular places along the post.
I will describe the process in the free crochet pattern below, but if in doubt, be sure to also check out the free video tutorial.
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 medium/worsted weight yarn that is a wool blend. Along with my worsted weight yarn, I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.

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 in American crochet terms.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch pattern, you will need a foundation chain with a multiple of 2 stitches, plus 1.
For example, ch 21.
Row One:
Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each st across. Ch 3 (Counts as a dc), turn.
Row Two:
Dc in the next st, *yo insert hook under the top 2 front loops that you see about half way down on the post of the previous st, insert your hook into the next sc st, yo and draw through 3 loops on your hook, yo and then draw through the remaining 2 loops on your hook, dc in the next st; Rpt from * across ending with a dc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
Row Three:
Sc in the 1st st and in each st across, ending by working your final sc in the top of the turning ch. Ch 3 (Counts as a dc), turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows 2 and 3 for the pattern. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
