ISO- Name of Stitch

[ReniC]

I came across this photo on Pinterest and found the original Etsy website it was pinned from- simply because I was intrigued by the stitch on the colored rows. I tried to figure it out but, it has me stumped. Does anyone recognize this stitch?. (I'm only interested in the stitch in the color rows- not the whole pattern.)

I don't recognize it, it is interesting looking!  seems almost knotted.  the project on the ravelry pattern listing has a very closeup photo http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/winifred-baby-blanket   but i can't tell how it was done.

Okay, I think those rows are slip stitch, then tc, then slip stitch.  I thought they were probably something like when I looked at the first photo, and then when I saw from the Ravelry page which stitches were used, that confirmed my suspicions...   there might even be chains in there, too - but I bet if you played around with it, you could figure it out...

I think you are right Melani...looks like dc though - I think it's dc, ch, sl st, ch, dc...

Kathy- Magiccrochetfan: Thank you for the Ravelry link. Didn't even think to look there. I did message her on the Etsy site asking about the stitch but ,no answer. Not sure how to contact on Ravelry.

 

Melani- crabby rat: I tried the sl st, tr, sl st, but, it didn't work.

 

Next, as soon as I can, I will try Heather-h hensler's suggestion. Cross your fingers and keep your thinking caps on gals. I do appreciate all the help. This feels like another treasure hunt!

I wondered if the tc was an English term instead of American, if so, it would be a dc instead.  Good luck, and I hope you can figure it out!!

Still not getting this.   My magical sense of crochet has flown out the window with that dust storm we had yesterday.

Try doing this as I think It may be a variation of the floret stitch.

The basic floret stitch is as follows:

Do a row of double crochet in color a.

In color b, turn and ch 1. *Sk first st., dc in next, sl st in next......repeat * to end of row.

Next row is in color a and you dc across.

Continue these two rows.

I'll try this and get back with you this afternoon. Sounds promising. Thank you

I'm back- finally! Thank you #1Crochetfan! (jumping up and down here!) I hadn't heard of the Floret Stitch before now.
I tried the suggestion and it was so close I almost stopped experimenting with it when I realized I was skipping a stitch after every dc. I omitted the skipped stitch and it looks great. I am in the middle of 2 different afghans and can't wait to complete them so I can make a toddler blanket pattern out of this stitch.
Thank you all so much for your participation in helping me discover this stitch.

 

*ETA: Just found this video tute for the stitch!

Sorry ReniC. I meant to put the asterisk after the -sk first stitch. I posted in a rush yesterday and I'm sorry that I drove you crazy but at least you figured it out.

No problem. I enjoyed the search, as always.
