How to Crochet the Waffle Stitch

The Waffle Stitch is a gorgeous, squishy stitch that is almost as delicious as its namesake. If you can make the double crochet, you can make this stitch!

You explained this waffle stitch well and easy to understand! Thank you for sharing, I’ve learned so much from you.

[@HeartHookHome]

I'm so glad!

Have watched other videos of this stitch but this is the best ive seen. So easy to follow thankyou

[@HeartHookHome]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hetheruneges8097]

Im so in love, I used to only do variations of two stitches. I have recently added two new ones.... so excited. You are an excellent teacher, I didn't even have to slow down the video!

[@mariyamalkatrempel9178]

Thank you for thorough tutorial and not making it too long.

[@HeartHookHome]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rachelsimmonds3824]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been going insane trying to master it! I think it was your explanation of the stitch above the front post that sealed the deal! 🎉

[@HeartHookHome]

Glad it was helpful!

[@user-yq3sp2cq9s]

thank you - great photography = clear, in focus, and your hook speed is slow enough for a viewer to follow what you are doing.

[@ritabramhall4948]

I’ve always love the waffle stitch but I thought it alternated front AND back post dc! So your video and explanation made it soooo clear and I’m now going to do a scarf with my first waffle - ty so much for an explanation video!

[@sunnywahwassuck2238]

No but you did do another cool stitch called a basketweave stitch which is what I’m using for my baby blanket!

[@jennanuh6781]

Thank you so much! This was so helpful, followed along and got the scarf done within two hours!! Lol some trial and error but I got there ❤

[@FaeSutherland]

I know this video is old, but I had to say thank you because this was so simple and easy to follow as a relative beginner. I can't wait to use this for all kinds of projects!

[@HeartHookHome]

Great to hear!

[@sheilabush3784]

Out of all the videos I have watched..I get this one. Thank u for this. I finally did it!

[@HeartHookHome]

Glad it helped!

[@ashley-m]

pro tip - when edging your piece, on the wobbly sides, evenly place three edging stitches (I used single crochet) for every two rows. each little box is technically 3 double crochet wide (the raised fpdc, plus the two regular dc that make the waffle box indent), so if you are crocheting down the wobbly edge and you stitch 2 single crochet for every row of double crochet, your edge will be slightly too many stitches for the actual length of the piece, and will turn out bulky and rippley. I learned this the hard way. 3 edge stitches (sc in my case) per every two rows (one waffle box is formed vertically every two rows) is not only proportional to the amount of stitches that forms a waffle box horizontally, but lays nice and flat and looks very pretty. I’m not sure exactly how to explain this, so if you have a question, feel free to respond to this comment. but honestly I’m just leaving this here as a note to myself for the future. and I thought it could be helpful for anyone else. btw, lovely video, wonderful tutorial, very pretty end product. thanks sm!!

[@juliepoulos83]

I wish I understood what you are talking about here. What is a wobbly side?

[@gailrussell9104]

The edge ends up looking scalloped instead of straight​@juliepoulos83

[@sharbear1968]

You’re the best! I was wondering why my edges were so funky and how I was going to clean them up. I figured 3 would do it and your comment was what I needed to see.

[@sh-ch-]

Soooo helpful, thanks! Now I can crochet pillow covers with this stich!

[@susanneanthony4513]

Thankyou so much for your tutorial, I looked at some others and really struggled then I found you you explained it so well and I didn't make any mistakes 💗

[@HeartHookHome]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bluekeeps]

I'm making a waffle bag, with a tiny dollop of butter, but I couldn't seem to understand this stitch and you helped so much!!! the written and other interpretations were so weird, but you made it make so much sense, and a good quality video!!❤

[@HeartHookHome]

I am so glad it was helpful!!

[@kekerenee]

Been trying to figure this out but for some reason my FPDC stitches aren't popping out, I'm only getting the 3D detail with the horizontal lines

[@bluekeeps]

it could be your gauge? hook size and the yarn weight? if you're using worsted I'd recommend 4.5 or 5! :) hope you figured it out, I know this is 3 weeks late haha

[@sunnywahwassuck2238]

You have to make sure you’re going underneath the top stitch, not into it. I had the exact same problem when I was doing my basketweave granny squares. Try doing it around the actual post instead of into the gap above it :) hope this helps and I’m happy to answer any questions you have if you need!

[@kristalclinton3266]

Thank you, I have been trying to learn this stitch. I think I have it now.

Thank you so much for posting this Waffle Stitch tutorial. I love this stitch and I want to make a whole blanket with just this pattern. I don't even care if it is a yarn hog, I think it's worth the extra yarn. 🙂❤❤

A blanket out of this would be so cozy, but I would never finish it and I would go broke buying the yarn it would require 😅

Loved this video! We have very similar crochet techniques. I currently have an injury in my left index finger (not caused by, but exacerbated by crocheting). Have you ever had an injury to that finger, and if so, how did you heal it?

[@bruhbean22]

OH, I have the same injury >:0! I got myself a trigger finger brace on Amazon to keep it from moving. Its been like 3 weeks since mine started hurting and idk I think we just gotta get used to crotchet.

[@sarah._xm]

hi! i have a request fora tutorial pls - can u make avudeo on how to crochet a heart in the waffle stich? xx

[@cynthiaduncan7118]

Love this video 💕👏👏👏

[@corrynbriles979]

backside row: 4:28 frontside row: 6:30

[@toni-anngordon3892]

Can I decrease and increase with waffle stitch?

[@user-iy6tn8uw7d]

In the 1st row after doing fpdc there was that stitch that you explained that it was still being used even if we didn't go into it. Is it the same thought process for the row after that. Because that's where i keep messing up

[@chefjenjen]

Is there a reason you only go into the back loops and not the whole stitch? I normally do amigurumi so not used to chains lol

[@elipantelejeva1498]

How would I go about inceasing while doing the waffle stitch? I've spend 30 mins googling and can't find an answer anywhere.

[@Sunflowerbounce]

This was amazing, thanks 🌻

[@HeartHookHome]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@patriciayoung9298]

I'm just learning will re-watch until I get it. Also looking for pattern

[@user-yv4dq4qw9r]

If you’re making small waffle squares, are they easy to sew together?

[@HeartHookHome]

I think so! This video will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIO2kod5e9Gomrs

[@patsteele4241]

When you’re left handed,does it make the pattern different?

[@FootLucy1013]

idk for this specifically, but for use of item there is no difference. the loops do go the opposite way though

[@mariadias9465]

Thanks alot😍😍😍😍😍

[@Jenniferjpennie]

I want to use the waffle stitch to make a couch cover blanket . How long would the chain need to be for 68"?

[@HeartHookHome]

It would totally depend on the yarn and hook being used and what your gauge is. I do have a pattern for a Waffle stitch blanket here that you could use for reference: hearthookhome.com/waffle-crochet-free-blanket-pattern/

[@aggrogator4045]

Great tutorial but why you got black lady hands??? Does not match the pfp at all.

[@laurabrooks5045]

What size hook

[@HeartHookHome]

Hi Laura! For this sample I used an I/5.5mm hook with a worsted weight yarn.

[@TrippNBalz]

Thank you!
