The Zipper Stitch Crochet pattern has colour, texture and an interesting pattern that is sure to catch anyone’s eye!
I love the look of this crochet stitch pattern. It has a complicated looking texture that is actually quite easy to work. The only stitches you will need to know to master this stitch are double crochet stitches, single crochet stitches and chain stitches.
It’s a wonderful stitch that could work in many different patterns including blankets and washcloths, sweaters and bags.
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 Furls Metal Streamline Hook in the colour Blush. 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 using American crochet terms.
To begin make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch you will need an even number of stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 24.
Row One:
Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each st across, ch 4, turn.
Row Two:
Sk the next st, dc in the next st, *ch 1, sk the next st, dc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Switch to colour B in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
Row Three:
Sc in the 1st st, *working in behind the previous row, dc in the next skipped stitch two rows below, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 4, turn.
Row Four:
Sk the next st, dc in the next st, *ch 1, sk the next st, dc in the next st; Rpt from * across, switch back to colour A in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows three and four for the pattern changing colours every two rows. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
