Waffle Crochet Stitch Tutorial

June 20, 2021 by Maria Weaber 4 Comments

In this post, I will teach you how to crochet the waffle stitch. Both the written pattern and video tutorial are included below.

The waffle stitch gives a 3D texture and makes a thick fabric. It’s great for warm blankets, pot holders, and dishcloths.

You can see below how it differs in look when crocheting it in acrylic vs cotton.

    How do we know what size hook and how many chains to start with

      That will be personal preference! If you are making dishcloths, you can make it any size you’d like. If you are making a blanket I made 12″ squares. Just use a tape measure for your starting chain. I used H/5.0mm hook with worsted weight yarns

    I could not find the instructions for the fpdc.
    Also, Row 3 is shown as Row 1 on the pattern.
