I love the simplicity and the subtle texture of this Interlocking Stitch crochet pattern and I’m sure you will also!
There are a variety of interlocking crochet stitches out there and this one shares their beauty! Interlocking stitches are wonderful in many different types of projects due to the solid, but not dense fabric that they create. I have seen interlocking crochet stitches used to make beautiful baby blankets and cardigans. And as this stitch pattern is not too dense you can work it in a variety of weights of yarn – even in your super bulky weight!
This version of the Interlocking Stitch crochet pattern is worked a little differently than some of the others with the double crochet stitches being worked into the post of the previous single crochet stitch. It allows this pattern to show off a little more texture.
Materials for this Tutorial:
For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of the Basic Stitch Anti Pilling yarn by Lion Brand. It is a soft worsted weight 100% acrylic yarn. The hook shown in the video below is a 5 mm (H/8) hand carved and hand painted hook by Hand Carved Hooks and Roux Studio. Another favourite is a 5 mm Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan Yarn – one of my favourites! 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 Crossed Cluster Stitch | How to Crochet.

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 using American crochet terms.
To begin make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch you will need a multiple of 4 + 2 stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 22.
Row One:
Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and into each st across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
Sc in the 1st st, *ch 2, 4 dc through the post of the sc just made, sk the next 3 sts, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across, sc in the final st, ch 2, turn.
Row Three:
*Sk the next dc, dc2tog over the next 2 sts, sk the next dc, ch 3, sc in the next ch-2 sp; Rpt from * across, sc in the final ch-2 sp, ch 1, turn.
Row Four:
Sc in the 1st st, *ch 2, 4 dc through the post of the sc just made, sk the next ch-3, sc in the next sc; Rpt from * across, sc in the final st, ch 2, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows 3 and 4 for the pattern. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
