Learn the Suzette Stitch: A Beginner-Friendly Crochet Texture
The Suzette stitch is one of the first textured stitches that I learned. I just loved the way it looked, and once I discovered that it was made up of two basic crochet stitches, I was ready to add it to a project!
This easy textured stitch is made up of strategically placed single crochet and double crochet stitches. Whether you’ve been crocheting for years, or just getting started, you’ll be able to add simple, everyday texture to just about any project using the Suzette stitch.
One of the things I love most about the Suzette stitch is that it’s incredibly versatile. You can add a few rows throughout a project to add a pop of texture, or you can use it exclusively in a project to create a solid, textured fabric. You can also strategically place rows of basic stitches within a Suzette stitch project to create sections. With all of that flexibility, the creative combinations are endless!
