How to Make the Corner to Corner Suzette Stitch
Crocheting is a wonderful craft that allows you to create beautiful and intricate designs using just yarn and a crochet hook. One popular crochet stitch is the corner to corner Suzette stitch. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating this stitch, step by step.
Materials needed
Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project. You will need:
- Yarn: Choose a yarn color and weight of your preference.
- Crochet hook: Select an appropriate crochet hook size based on the yarn you are using.
Basic crochet stitches
To successfully create the corner to corner Suzette stitch, it is important to be familiar with some basic crochet stitches. If you are new to crocheting or need a refresher, here are the stitches you need to know:
1. Chain stitch
The chain stitch is the foundation of most crochet projects. It is created by making loops with your yarn and pulling them through each other, creating a chain-like structure.
2. Slip stitch
The slip stitch is used to join stitches or move your hook to a different location in your work. It is created by inserting your hook into a stitch, yarn over, and pulling the yarn through both the stitch and the loop on your hook.
3. Single crochet stitch
The single crochet stitch is a basic stitch that creates a tight and compact fabric. It is made by inserting your hook into a stitch, yarn over, pulling up a loop, and then yarn over again and pull through both loops on your hook.
4. Double crochet stitch
The double crochet stitch is slightly taller than the single crochet stitch and creates a looser and more open fabric. To make a double crochet stitch, yarn over, insert your hook into a stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through two loops, yarn over once more, and pull through the remaining two loops on your hook.
Now that we are familiar with the basic crochet stitches, let's move on to creating the corner to corner Suzette stitch.
