This stitch is so lovely and has great texture! Half doubles (trebles) and working in front or back loops are a couple of my least favorite crochet stitches, but I want to try this to get more practice and have something beautiful when finished. Thank you so much for sharing

[@LoopySusieQ]

@@rebeccagarland2589 i crocheted a rectangle and then seamed the sides together, and gathered the top to close. I also added 12 extra chains for the brim, and worked that in BLO SC for each row to create ribbing.

[@Angela-Winnie1]

Lovely stitch, I would like to do a blanket but wondered if there is a tutorial on doing the almond stitch with straight edges so I can put my own decorative edging on ? Many thanks, ps after many years I have mastered the granny square through your videos, amazing thank you x

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome, I'm happy to hear my videos have helped you 😊 If you want to add straight edges to the top and bottom, you need to work a round using stitches of different heights - if you work double crochet stitches (UK terms) on the top parts and then treble crochet stitches in the 'dips' this will straighten it out for you.

[@Angela-Winnie1]

Thank you so much 😁

[@lisabeattie393]

Great video, such a lovely stitch. I’ll definitely try this once I’ve had a little more practise as a beginner. Thank you 🧶🪡

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you, give it a go and see how you get on :)

[@tulaytohumcuoglu3332]

Harika👏👏👏

[@bellacococrochet]

teşekkür ederim :)

[@natalievarley2325]

Great video. I’m a beginner so don’t have a clue about yarns. Do you have a video about different yarns? Which ones are best for which projects? And where to buy in uk? Most yarns that I’ve experience with don’t wash well and seem to Frey or bubble etc.

[@sh00ca]

For anyone with 5 stitches left at the end, once you get past the row where you skip a loop on the hook, your new stitch number will be one less. It's multiples of 8, plus 5, to account for that first skipped loop. Then, it is 8 plus 4, so that the number is divisible by 4, which is the number of stitches each hill and valley so to speak, uses. My starting chain was 109, and the number of stitches I count in each row as I go along when I check my work is 108. Hope this makes sense as to why some of us were winding up with 5 stitches at the end of the rows!

[@krissiebooker8525]

I love this stitch, very simple and looks great! I just have one question, in the video you say row 2 starts with 4 slip sts . However the written pattern on your blog says starts with 4 htr, which is correct? Thanks x

[@lynnshinault4857]

I can't locate the version for straight edges for this stitch. I imagine that is what would be needed for the patchwork blanket. Can someone help me. Thanks much. Bella Coco videos are the best to learn by. I recommend them to people all the time.

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like them! You can straighten this off by working stitches of different heights when you work the border - for example, you can work double crochets (UK terms) and then treble crochets into the dips 😊

[@lorifitzgerald-leger6503]

Another lovely pattern of stitches 😍! Again ? Baby sweater , hat?

[@bellacococrochet]

The royal ridge stitch works up to give quite a thick, dense fabric so I recommend using it for things like dishcloths and potholders 😊

The videos are only assisted videos, they don't follow the actual patterns as they had to be adjusted for the blanket pattern :)

[@maureenjjkgvckmbmlmbosborn3358]

I want to crochet a baby blanket using your tutorial, is there a border for this lovely pattern?

[@minella4962]

Hello! This stich looks so pretty!!! But i wanted to ask a question... How can i make a straight border for the stitch? 💖

[@bellacococrochet]

I'm glad you like it 😊 To straighten off the top you can work a row using stitches of different heights, for example double crochet stitches on the peaks and treble crochets on the peaks.

[@alicerankine8672]

I would love to do a square with this stitch how to I get it straight on the bottom and top thank you

[@bellacococrochet]

You need to work stitches of different heights along the top and bottom to fill in the gaps, so you could work double crochets (UK terms) along the flat parts and then treble crochets along the dips. 😊

[@alicerankine9949]

Thank you for your advice 😁

[@robindebow4680]

I must be doing something wrong in the beginning-with multiples of 8 and 5 for turning, i am only able to finish row one with 3 slip stitches, not 4. Help!!

[@bellacococrochet]

Have you made sure you're starting in the correct chain? You should start off by making a slip stitch into the second chain from the hook. You can also use stitch markers to mark every ten stitches or so, to make sure you're not missing any along the way 😊

[@g9-21.sumedhazope6]

This stich is sooo beautiful ❤️❤️😀😀😀 I want to make a blanket with this stich, Sarah will a velvet yarn affect the stich?

[@bellacococrochet]

I'm glad you like it 😊 You might find that velvet yarn gives less stitch definition, but the best way to find out is to crochet a swatch

[@carolinekaran6646]

Can you please tell me how to change colours in between?

[@juneruggiero8384]

Where would i change color yarn? Thank you

[@bellacococrochet]

I would change colour every two rows, so either at the end of row three or row five 😊

[@oksalbright]

This is a beautiful stitch. Love the video, the pace is great! I am also in love with your crochet hook! Where can I find these?

[@bellacococrochet]

Hi how are you doing?

[@sedenalemdar5103]

I’m trying to learn how to do the butterfly stitch

[@user-tn4ph8pw3h]

For a scarf made with this stitch , do we need to make a different stitch perimetrical when we finish the work ? Or not ?

[@bellacococrochet]

For a scarf made using this you can just keep adding rows until you reach the length you want; there's no need to work another stitch to straighten off the beginning and end as I think this will make the scarf look really beautiful 😊

[@user-tn4ph8pw3h]

@@bellacococrochet thank you so much 😊 You think it doesn’t need any extra stitch on the sides either ?

[@charlotteguest6687]

Love this pattern, how would I do this with a straight edge please

[@bellacococrochet]

To straighten the edges you can work a border using stitches of different heights; double crochets along the top and then treble crochets into the dips 😊

[@HW21x]

I would love to make a lap blanket with this stitch 💜 could you tell me how to work out how much yarn I would need? Thanks 😊 x

[@bellacococrochet]

This would really depend on the type of yarn you are using, your hook size and your tension. I would suggest that you continue to chain until you reach the width that you need :)

[@HW21x]

@@bellacococrochet Sorry I meant how much yarn as in grams or metres? Thanks 😊

[@jonathanhill8302]

Love this but I’m having difficulty getting the crochet hook into the back loops even though I’m trying not to make the stitches too tight. Any ideas?

[@bellacococrochet]

It can be fiddly working into the back loops only until you get the hang of it; I would have a look at the hook you are using as some hooks are pointier at the tip whereas some are more flat and rounded. If you are using the flat and rounded type this can make it harder to get into the loops 😊

[@lunaskylar612]

Hi. Is it possible to start with normal almond ridges but end it with the flat end?
