In this YouTube series, "Beyond Basics A to Z Crochet Stitches," we will explore 26 different intermediate to advanced level stitches, starting from the letter A and going all the way to Z. In this tutorial, we will dive into the beautiful and versatile Elizabeth's Stitch, also known as the Minivan Stitch.

Elizabeth's Stitch: A Puffy and Versatile Stitch Elizabeth's Stitch, or Minivan Stitch, is a slightly puffy stitch that can be used to create a variety of items such as cushions, coasters, table mats, Afghans, scarves, and more. While it is a simple stitch to do, it is recommended for advanced beginners or intermediate level crocheters. If you fit into either of these categories, give this stitch a try and discover its endless possibilities.

Materials and Tools Needed Before we get started, gather the following materials and tools:

• Yarn (choose the type and color based on your project)
• Suitable crochet hook (size depends on the yarn chosen)
• Scissors

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Creating Elizabeth's Stitch

1. Create a base chain: Start with a slip knot on your hook and do chains in multiples of two plus four. For example, if you are doing a swatch, 20 chains would be sufficient. Adjust the number of chains based on your project's requirements.
2. Begin the first row: From the fourth chain from the hook, insert the hook, grab the yarn, and pull up a loop. Do a yarn over, insert the hook again in the same chain, grab the yarn, and pull up a loop. You should have four loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all four loops. This completes the first Elizabeth's Stitch. Do a chain one, and repeat this pattern across the row.
3. Continue the second row: Turn the work, create a chain three as the turning chain, and start doing the Elizabeth's Stitches in the gaps created in the previous row. Insert the hook in the gap, do a chain one, then repeat the pattern until the end of the row.
4. Repeat for subsequent rows: Flip the work, do a chain three as the starting chain for the next row, and repeat the pattern of inserting the hook in the gaps and creating Elizabeth's Stitches. Continue this pattern for as many rows as needed for your project.
5. Add variation: If desired, you can combine the Elizabeth's Stitch pattern with other lacy or textured patterns to create a unique look for your project, such as a stitch sampler design.
