Back in the fall of 2013, I shared how to crochet the Criss Cross Diamond Stitch I designed when I was working on the "Criss Cross Diamond Romper Layette" I made for my auntie's first grand-baby.

It is my pleasure to announce that I have revised this stitch tutorial with clearer written instructions and now it also features both a photo tutorial and a video tutorial to boot!

Invisible Decrease (2tog) - Crochet Stitch Tutorial

When, I was working on amigurumi projects last year, I came across a really neat tutorial on "All About Ami" for doing an "Invisible Decrease" (links to original tutorial) whenever a pattern calls for 2tog (a.k.a. sc2tog). I loved it so much that I use it in all my amigurumi projects now!

For my newest fashion doll pattern, "Happily Ever After" (releasing tomorrow), I do several decreases just like the "Invisible Decrease" above. However, for this pattern, not only do I use this technique for single crochet (sc), but I also use it for double crochet (dc) and treble crochet (tr). So, the in the video below, I will show you how to do this for all three of these, and half double crochet (hdc) as well.

Use this stitch whenever you would like to to turn 2 stitch spaces into 1.

Cluster of 2 - Crochet Stitch Tutorial

27/4/2014

Comments

Another stitch you will see frequently used in my crochet patterns is the cluster of 2.

I use this stitch to create a decrease in the row without leaving room for any spaces before or after the decrease.

This is one of the best ways to do a double crochet decrease.

Bobble of 2 - Crochet Stitch Tutorial

24/4/2014

Comments

One stitch you will see frequently used in my crochet patterns is the bobble of 2.

I use this stitch to create an increase in the row without increasing the stitch count of the row.

This is helps to close up spaces in between double crochet stitches. These spaces can be extremely noticeable when working with thread as I frequently do.

So, it is very handy to use this stitch when crocheting smaller things like fashion doll clothes and accessories, or where you would rather work double crochet stitches and not worry about having large wholes in the garment.

Rebeckah's Treasures' Criss Cross Diamond Stitch

Here is a fun stitch I came up with while I was working on a custom order for my auntie last month (see criss cross diamond romper layette). It is very similar to the diamond stitch (links to video tutorial). However, this one differs in that it creates "X's" that form overlapping diamonds when the points touch. Hence why I decided to call it the criss cross diamond stitch.

It is basically a foundation row of single crochet, then two repeat rows. One row of double crochet first. Then, a row of single crochet and double treble crochet into posts of the previous single crochet row. Continue below for the pattern...
