This beautiful Springtime crochet stitch pattern reminds me of Spring with its flower-like clusters. I can imagine it worked in one colour or many!
The Springtime crochet stitch pattern is so easy to work and is created almost entirely in double crochet stitches. It’s very pretty, and I already have a crochet bag in the works that showcases it. I’m so pleased with how it turning out.
In our tutorial today, I will be working this stitch pattern in rows. It is created over a four-row repeat featuring double crochet stitches worked in clusters and crossed. The other stitch that you will see in this pattern is the fun half double crochet slip stitch. I really do love the raised texture that it creates.
The Materials:
For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in a single colour. It is a worsted-weight yarn. You could also work this pattern in two or more colours. I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook. In the video tutorial below you will see me working with a Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan. However, you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.

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 in American crochet terms.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need a multiple of three stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 33.
Row One:
Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
Hdc sl st in the 1st st and each st across. ch 1, turn.
Row Three:
Working in the blo across, sc in the 1st st and in each st across. ch 3, turn.
Row Four:
Sk the next 2 sts, *dc in the next st, ch 1, dc back into the first skipped st, sk the next 2 sts; Rpt from * across until 1 st remains, dc in the final st. Ch 3, turn.
Row Five:
Work 3 dc in the 1st ch-1 sp, *3 dc in the next ch-1 sp; Rpt from * across to the turning ch, dc in the top of the turning ch. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern, simply repeat rows 2-5 for the pattern. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
I wish you would have given us a stitch count after each row. Am I correct in assuming the first row should be 32 stitches? And that’s the count for each row after that?
