How to Crochet the Suzette Stitch
The Suzette Stitch is one of my absolute favorite crochet stitches to do!
Besides the fact that it is so easy, it creates the most amazing texture and a solid fabric. Sometimes when you’re making blankets or clothing, you don’t want a bunch of holes that let the cold in. This is where the Suzette Stitch shines!
You can use it on quite a few different styles of crochet projects. You only need a multiple of 2 for your chains!

The yarn I used in this tutorial is Red Heart Soft Yarn in Tangerine that you can purchase at this link. The hook I’m using is a size H/8 (5.00 mm) Boye hook that I bought at Wal-Mart.

So without further ado, let’s get started!
Suzette Stitch
Begin with a chain that is a multiple of 2 (or just an even number of chains).
In the second chain from the hook, single crochet once.
Insert your hook back into the same stitch you just did the single crochet, and work a double crochet.
Now you are going to skip one chain.
After skipping the one chain, you will single crochet in the next chain.
Insert your hook back into the same stitch you just did the single crochet, and work a double crochet.
You will continue to repeat the pattern of single crochet and double crochet in the same stitch, then skip one stitch until you reach the last two chains.
Skip the second to the last chain and in the final chain, only single crochet once.
Your first row is completed. Now chain one.
And turn your work.
In the first stitch that the chain one comes out of, single crochet.
Just like on the previous row, double crochet in the same stitch with the single crochet you just made.
Skip one stitch (that was a double crochet on the previous row). Now single crochet and double crochet in the next stitch.
Continue to repeat the pattern of single crochet and double crochet in the same stitch, then skip one stitch until there are two stitches remaining.
Skip the next stitch and single crochet one time in the last stitch.
Chain one.
Turn your work.
Continue working the pattern until your piece measures the desired length or number of rows.
And that’s it. It’s super simple and once you get going it works up quickly.
You’ve just completed the Suzette Stitch!
