Stitch of the Week # 241 Quick & Easy Checkered Double Crochet Stitch

[@kaybaxter1070]

Very nice. I love that you do three different colors. Especially in the white. Yes it does make it elegant.

[@athenac5296]

Those samples! The solid color yarn really did give such a neat texture and it really did play up the ombre in the self stripping yarn 😍.

[@hmroque4382]

I must say this stitch is very lovely, I think it looks like butterflies.

[@transfertrish5247]

[@heidicook2395]

[@opalibra10park45]

Thank you showing this stitch, it is perfect for using up leftovers. I have been looking for an easy textured stitch and you found it for me! :) Good to know AC Moore will be online, I am in the midwest and have heard good things about this company that is out of my driving range. Thanks again for all that you do and sharing with us!

[@delladearest2511]

I’ve been watching some of your tutorials as I plan on making dish towels and this one is so easy for me compared to the waffle stitch. I also appreciate how you make more than one sample in different color combinations. Thanks Glenda

[@karinmccarty9968]

How nice! I'm thinking maybe a dishcloth would be pretty with this stich. Thank you for sharing!

[@yvonnehatin2191]

Love this . As I love bright colours this is for my next project.thank you Glenda

[@denisechivers717]

Thank you another lovely stitch pattern x

[@marisadkhar6944]

Beautiful stitch Grandma

[@kathyhastings4972]

Thank u for talking through the steps I'm working on a small blanket for my fur baby.

[@DKFisher]

Love this pattern. This will definitely be the next pattern I do. Thank you. Awesome tutorial!

[@cindymerryweather1318]

Thank you so much for being so thorough ....I love how you go the speed I can learn and see the stitch so close.. this helps me immensely..I love this stitch! Is there an item you are going to crochet with this stitch? What edge would you use? Thanks again for all your hard work.

[@CreativeGrandma]

For this stitch pattern I would probably do a very simple plain double crochet border around it so the stitch pattern stands out, if you do a fancy border it will take away from the stitch pattern. Just my opinion, it is your preference. Have fun crocheting.

[@Maryjane-v7t]

What is the starting chain count you would suggest to do this stitch for a baby blanket

[@Sandy42800]

Very pretty! Love the stitch! Thank you for sharing!

[@charlottemarti8639]

[@CreativeGrandma]

[@belindaprivetts7320]

Thank you

[@charlenes5]

[@TheLightbright01]

[@suefoster7343]

I am looking for a race track pattern, I don't have a picture of one or the stitches used foe one. I don't know if you or the subscribers could help me with this. I love all your videos and have learned a lot. Thank you sue.

[@CreativeGrandma]

Hi Sue, I do not have any race track patterns at this time. So sorry

[@brendabickerstaff1008]

Love this pattern. Thank you for staring.

[@pampreast9921]

Love this pattern...Looks easy enough for me....:) Thanks so much....

[@my_chemical_veil_in_white9653]

I love the way you teach ! Very thorough, easy to understand! I am wondering tho, can this same method be done, but with the blocks being a little wider ? Like quilting blocks? I have tried entralac with the squares, I like that look, but this method would be easier for me. If it's possible, what would the multiples be for the initial chain? Thanks !!

[@jeannieleasa1579]

I cannot wait to try this one with three or even 4 colors.

[@FurtasticFriends]

Love this pattern. I love the 3 different colors. A while back I bought a white, grey and teal but couldn't decide on a pattern. I'm using this pattern!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@maryk7577]

Thank you for clear conciae training video. I have oodles and oodles of yarn and I need to start using it up. I like this stitch and worked it on sample varigated yarn. It did not turn out so well. I am now going to try it on 3 single colors of yarn. Hope it works for me.

[@sandratester7077]

Btw, I'm using this stitch for a pot holder, making a solid piece for the back. Beautiful stitch.

[@dinajassim6141]

Love the pattern and your explanation is crystal clear thank you for the effort 😘💕

[@mudgy6485]

Those colors are pretty together

[@grayone46]

[@jillmiller4114]

You are the best!!! I've been making a mixed stitch blanket and I have been able to use quite a few of the stitches from "Stitch of the Week!" I wish I could post a picture of it here so you could see it, but I will email a picture of it to you. Thanks again 😊😊

[@CreativeGrandma]

Jan please join my crochet facebook group Creative Grandma, make sure you answer the 3 questions when requesting to join and then you can post photos of the items you make so I can see them. Happy crocheting

[@pamstanley6551]

Love the way you explain

[@cindymarsh6344]

This is great ! YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER !!!:-)

[@teodoracantu379]

Thank you, now I can use my yarn leftovers, great 💡

[@ellafaith8760]

I loved learning this stitch! I like how each of the swatches you showed turned out but I have to say the one using the Red Heart Fruity Stripes just pops out to me for the way all those colors blend so finely together. It's almost as if this stitch was made just for it. :) I bet it will look equally as great with any self striping yarn. I know what some of my future projects are going to be! I found myself, in my mind, referring to this as the "Tooth Stitch" as, especially with the bright white yarn, looked like little teeth popping up! :D

[@alikc25]

Great pattern. Thank you for this video.

[@Stephanie0419]

[@shelleywhalen9201]

[@eronflemens2977]

[@fillergirl]

Just finish your crocodile stitch, found this yarn want to make my son-in-law a scarf what stitch you recommend ,iam still learning crocheting

[@CreativeGrandma]

The rasied shell is a nice stitch to use.

[@hmroque4382]

Is this a good design for the bernat baby blanket brights?

[@CreativeGrandma]

I am sorry to say I never used the Bernat Baby Blanket Brights, so I am not sure, best to work a small swatch and see how it comes out. Sorry I was not more of a help.

[@leegilmour6072]

I like this pattern

[@LadySoul4ever]

A C Moore online?😲 Yay!😄

[@suestevens7356]

I love that stitch, especially in the classic white! I do need to ask you about the self striping, are you only able to stitch so far before it changes to a new color? How do you know how far you can go? If you've already covered a question about this, could you direct me? 😊 Thank you!

[@CreativeGrandma]

When using a self striping yarn you need to play around with it for the first cuple of rows, it all depends on the width of what you are making which determines when the color changes, the self striping yarn is nicer for a wider project like an afghan. What I usually do is try to work the first row and see if I can make my project wide enough so it changes colors every row or every 2 rows. I know that is not much help, but the stitch pattern can determine the color change depending on how much yarn is used per row.

[@suestevens7356]

Ok well I will have to try some. I've just never really understood how to use it! Thank you! 😊

[@dawntenneson6360]

Hi Glenda has ACMoore on line yet? I would like to try their yarn. Love your tutorials-thank you so much!

[@pfeuerbacher]

Is there a written pattern on your website? Yahoo. Got the note on video will find your website

[@CreativeGrandma]

www.creativegrandma.net click on stitch of the week at the top of page and scroll down to the stitch you want. Then click on the name of the stitch for your free download

[@pfeuerbacher]

Creative Grandma super duper really appreciate your response and the pattern. You are a peach and I appreciate all your patterns and tutorials and I have been crocheting for over 60 years

[@kimberlymikkelsen6037]

Do you have any new dish cloth patterns

[@eemm4204]

Thank you. Why do you ch2 instead of ch1 at end of row? Thanks

[@CreativeGrandma]

Eem each row ends with a sc from Row 2 on, once row is finished you ch 1, and turn. Not sure why you said ch 2, it is a ch 1. Have fun crocheting.

[@eemm4204]

I must have viewed it incorrectly. So glad I found you!

[@hmroque4382]

I think she meant ch2 and fasten off.
