How to Crochet the Thermal Single Crochet Stitch

Foundation Row:

Chain any number of chains, with no specific multiple required for this stitch.

Row Instructions

Row 1:

Using the back loop only (BLO) of the chain, insert the hook into the second chain. Single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across until the end of the row, turning your work at the end.

Row 2:

Working into the BLO of the current row and the leftover loop from the foundation chain, sc in each stitch across until the end of the row, turning your work at the end.

Row 3 and Beyond:

Continue using only the BLO of the current row and the unworked loop from the row directly below, sc across, and turn.

Repeat the very last row until your project reaches the desired length.

Finishing

Final Row:

Chain 1, turn, and single crochet across, going through both loops of the current row AND the open loop from the previous row, capturing three loops total on your hook for each stitch.
