Even Moss Stitch | How to Crochet

The Even Moss Stitch is a wonderful stitch design. It is similar on both sides and features a subtle texture.

Not only does the Even moss stitch feature a great texture, but it also creates a fairly dense fabric. This means that it does take a little longer to work than maybe some of your other favourite stitches, but the resulting fabric has quite a bit of strength to it.

I believe that this stitch would be well suited to a variety of projects including blankets and wash cloths.

Have you used this stitch before? Let me know how in the comments below.

Materials:

For this tutorial I will be using the Caron x Pantone yarn by Yarnspirations along with a 5.5 mm crochet hook.  The hook shown here and in the video below is a hand turned hook by Bowltech Woodturning. However you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.

Even Moss Stitch:

This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial.  At the end of each row you will need to chain 1 and turn your work. The chain one does not count as a stitch.

Don’t forget to check out the free video tutorial linked below!

To begin, make a slip knot and then chain your desired number of chains.  For this stitch pattern you can use any even number of stitches for your foundation chain.

For my swatch I will be making a foundation chain of 22 chain stitches.

Row One:

Into the second chain from your hook, work one slip stitch, * half double crochet into the next stitch, slip stitch into the next stitch.

• 

• 

Repeat from * all the way across ending with a slip stitch in the final stitch. 

Chain one and turn your work.

Row Two:

Slip stitch into the first stitch, * half double crochet into the next stitch, slip stitch into the next stitch.

Repeat from * all the way across and work your final slip stitch into the last stitch.

• 

• 

• 

Chain one and turn your work.

And that’s it!

Repeat row two for the remainder of the pattern. Fasten off and weave in your ends!
