Honeycomb Smock Stitch | How to Crochet

The Honeycomb Smock Stitch creates a solid fabric with a beautiful and unique texture.

This is one stitch pattern however where the side does matter.  The smock stitch pattern lands all on one side.  This does not mean the other side is not pretty though! The opposite side does feature a texture and look that is similar to a moss or extended moss stitch, it just does not have the honeycomb look.

The fabric is quite dense, and I recommend keeping the stitches loose or going up one size more than the recommended hook size on the yarn label to help prevent the fabric from curling.

Materials for this Tutorial:

For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of Pima Cotton Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn. 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.
