If you are looking for a crochet stitch with a solid, dense texture, you will want to give this solid Crunch Stitch crochet stitch pattern a try!
I love crochet stitches that have a good rhythm to them while you’re working them. Easy repeats in a stitch pattern are great for projects that you are working while streaming TV or reading a book! This Solid Crunch stitch crochet pattern fits very well into this category with its one row repeat!
The stitch pattern is worked using basic crochet stitches including single crochet a slip stitches. Because of the short stitches, it does take a little longer to work up your project, but the dense, double-sided texture is so worth it!
I have worked crochet dishcloths in it and have used it for cozy blankets!
The Materials:
For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in two colours labelled A and B. You are also able to work this stitch in a single colour or more. The Heatherly yarn is a medium/worsted weight yarn that is a wool blend. Along with my worsted weight yarn, I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.

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 single colour.
This pattern is written in American crochet terms.
The turning ch does not count as a stitch.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch pattern, you will need an even number of stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 30.
Row One:
Sl st in the 2nd ch from your hook, *sc in the next st, sl st into the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
Sl st in the 1st st, *sc in the next st, sl st into the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat row two. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
