The Perfect Stitch Crochet Pattern is a wonderful crochet stitch that would work wonderfully in a variety of crochet projects.
The Perfect Stitch crochet pattern creates a solid fabric with a continuous texture throughout. The majority of the texture is to the front side, but the back side of the fabric is still quite pretty. This means that I wouldn’t rule it out for your double sided crochet projects.
The stitch pattern is simply constructed featuring spiked single crochet two together stitches. The spike stitch extends down two rows below which creates the texture in the pattern. It is fairly dense and can take a little longer to work up because of the spike stitches, but I still love it!
The Materials:
For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of the Basic Stitch Anti Pilling yarn by Lion Brand in one colour. It is a soft worsted weight 100% acrylic yarn. The hook shown in the video below 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 Trend 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 3 stitches, plus two for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 32.
Row One:
Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
Sc in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Three:
Sc in the 1st st, *sc2tog spike over next 2 sts, ch 1; Rpt from * across, sc in final st. Ch 1, turn.
Row Four:
Sc in the 1st st and in each st across (including each ch-st). Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
Repeat rows 3 and 4 for the rest of the pattern. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
