Heather Stitch | How to Crochet

I love an easy, but textured crochet pattern that is reversible like this Heather Stitch crochet pattern!

The Heather Stitch is a one-row repeat. The fabric is beautiful with a wonderful drape and a light and subtle texture that runs throughout. It would be a wonderful stitch for a variety of different projects!

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 Field 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 will need an even number of stitches for your foundation chain.

For example, ch 30.

Row One:

Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook, *ch 1, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 2, turn.

Row Two:

Hdc2tog inserting your hook in the 1st and 2nd sc sts, *ch 1, hdc2tog working in the previous sc and the next sc (skipping the ch-1 sps in between); Rpt from * across, hdc in the final st. Ch 2, turn.

Row Three:

Hdc2tog working in the space between the 1st hdc and into the next ch-1 sp (skipping the hdc2tog in between), *ch 1, hdc2tog working in the previous ch-1 sp and the next ch-1 sp; Rpt from * across working your final hdc2tog in the previous ch-1 sp and the final ch-2 sp, hdc in the final ch-2 sp. Ch 2, turn.

And that’s it!

For the rest of the pattern simply repeat row 3. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
