Mastering the Tight Stitch Pattern with Half-Crochets

Introduction to the Tight Stitch Pattern

This stitch pattern is really tight. It stretches in length, but not in width.

How to Create the Pattern

Make the pattern with simple half-crochets, catching the stitches through the back loops of the set-up row. In this case, you don't need to crochet chain stitches for increase; BUT! make the 1st half-crochet through both lobes of the 1st stitch of the previous row.

Steps to Follow

Make the needed quantity of stitches:

• 1 half-crochet through both lobes of stitches at once
• 1 half-crochet through the back loop in each stitch to the end of the row
