Moroccan Tile Stitch | How to Crochet

The Moroccan Tile stitch is one of those stitches that is sure to stand out in a project!

The stitch is versatile and may be used in a variety of projects.  Personally I have seen it used in blankets and throw cushions and I look forward to bringing you another design that incorporates this stitch very soon! The stitch has a similar feel and look to the Crochet Nesting V Stitch however it is a little easier to work!

The stitch pattern is made up of crochet v stitches, sometimes worked in the chain one space and sometimes worked in the space between the v stitches two rows below.  The design is similar on both sides and creates a near solid fabric.  The most tricky part of the pattern is hiding the yarn that is carried up the side.  I would recommend adding an edging to a design worked in the Moroccan Tile stitch where there is a long straight edge.

Materials for this Tutorial:

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