How to Crochet Wattle Stitch, an easy dc, sc combination

Whilst crocheting my lemon peel stitch blanket, I was intrigued by the different crochet stitches to be made with double crochet and single crochet stitches. The next obvious choice, was to learn how to crochet wattle stitch.

Wattle stitch is an easy, textured and reversable crochet stitch.

Whilst the lemon peel stitch creates the illusion of a tiny bobble, the wattle stitch, has an almost flowery/fan-like look.

This crochet pattern is again a combination of single and double crochet stitches only (US terms).

What makes that stitch even more enjoyable is that one only needs to count in the first row! The rest, as they say, is….simple and easy.

The pattern is in US terms.

The pattern:

Start with chains in multiples of 3 required to achieve the size of your project.

In the sample, I started with 24 chains.

1st row: in third ch from the hook, (SC, CH, DC)(in the same ch), skip 2 chains, *(SC, CH, DC) in next stitch, sk2 chains, repeat from *to the end, turn;

2nd row: ch1, continue (SC, CH, DC) in every ch1-space from the previous row. In a more technical way – sk 1 sc and 1 dc, and (SC, CH, DC) in the chain-1 opening (which is the next opening)(just before the next sc), repeat across, sc in last stitch, turn.

(some crochet patterns end each row with a hdc and not a sc. Use your own judgement in terms of your tension and stitch height).

Repeat row 2 until your work is the desired length.

And that’s how to crochet wattle stitch!

explanatory notes on the wattle stitch:

In my swatch, I started with 24 chains and made my last SC, CH, DC combination in the last ch.

In my second row, I still made my first SC, CH, DC combination in the first ch1-opening (but it means, in this row, I skipped the dc from the previous row and not a sc and dc.

As I am ending my 2nd row with a sc, in the 3rd row, I skipped the sc and dc and then made my combination in the ch1-opening.
