How To Crochet the Wattle Stitch

lofty-baby-blanket-wattle-stitch-free-crochet-pattern

The crocheted wattle stitch is quite simple and it creates a beautiful texture that I especially like for baby blankets. It would also work wonderfully on anything from scarves to dishcloths.  I used this stitch pattern for my Lion Brand Yarn Heroes charity baby blanket project and it gave the blanket a lovely, squishy feel (See the Loft Pom Baby Blanket Pattern HERE).

This is the blanket that I made with the Wattle Stitch

You’ll find a video tutorial on how to work up this stitch as well as a written pattern below. 🙂

You should be familiar with chaining, single crochet, skipping stitches and double crochet.  It’s quite simple, so check out the video and see what you think!

Wattle Stitch Written Pattern:

Chain in a multiple of 3

Row 1 In 3rd ch from hook (these 1st two skipped chains count as an sc) make: (1sc, ch1, 1dc), sk next two chains, *(1 sc, ch 1, 1 dc) in the next chain, skip 2 chs. Repeat from * across, ending with 1 sc in last ch, turn.

Row 2 Ch 1, skip the 1st sc and the 1st dc, and *make (1sc, ch1, 1dc) in the next ch space, sk the next sc and the next dc*, and repeat from * to * across, skip the last sc stitch and make an sc into the turning chain. Ch 1, turn.

Repeat row 2 until desired length.

That’s it! It did take a little practice for me, but once I got going it was easy peasy. What do you think?

    1. Hi! I used Lion Brand Hometown USA Super Bulky Yarn. You can also click the link for the blanket itself which will take you to the full blanket pattern and tells you all of the details. Have a great day!

  1. I’m making a scarf for my daughter in the Waffle Stitch for Christmas! I’m using Lion Brand ‘Scarfie’ in Black/Hot Pink.

  2. Thank you so much for your video tutorial. I am new to crocheting and learn easier by seeing a visual. I found your video using the wattle stitch easy to follow along. Thank you so much!

  3. Hey Jessica! I hope you had a merry Christmas! I just watched your video, and I have to admit, I thought your voice would sound different. Deeper, I guess.. I promise that I’m not saying that to be rude!

    Anyway, this looks nice and easy. Thanks for that!

  4. Do we chain 1 or 2 at the end of each row. If I read it right, repeating row 2 for the rest of the rows, ends in a sc and begins with a sc. yet the video shows chain 1 only.
