LEAST favorite crochet stitch?

[jessicali]

I'm sure everyone has that one stitch that they just don't like doing!

 

What's yours?!

[redrosesdz]

I'm working on my first (and last) Solomon's Knot (aka Lover's Knot and a few other names.)  The work goes fast, but I'm so sick of it that it is taking me forever to finish it.  I'm using my left thumb as a loop measuring tool and it hurts after 30-40 loops.  My project is currently 72 loops around, which means 143 thumb ouchies.  Four rounds and it's done.  I can't wait!

Crab stitch

I forgot to put mine in, I don't like doing the triple crochet!

[greyhoundgrandma]

Back post dc is just really awkward to me.

[richsgirl]

Probably single crochet. It works up slowly and just isn't that fun to do.

[froggy]

Mine would most definately be the reverse single crochet edging!!! 

[papersmiles]

Probably the hairpin lace.   For whatever reason I cannot get an even stitch with it.  Certainly helps me broaden my expletive vocabulary....harrumph!

That's mine too!

I don't crochet complicated stitches, mostly amigurumi. I have a horrible time whenever I need to do a whole line of slip stitches. For some reason, I find it very hard to get through the last loop.

[StephanieAnn]

Hdc!! I always forget howto do it.

[jessicali]

froggy, i agree with you! I don't like the reverse single crochet edging either!

I don't dislike any stitch in particular, I do despise that 1st row working into the chain stitches. I jumped with joy when I found foundation stitches!

[Avon Lady]

Hm-m-m-m-m...I think the slip stitch is probably my least favorite, followed by the sc.  My favorite is dc!

Tried that and could not do it. 

[Nicolapen]

I dislike US DC stitches because you have to yarn over and pull through 2 loops twice. I find it difficult to get even stitches. 

[ReniC]

I do not like the Celtic Weave stitch. It makes a beautiful pattern but is so time consuming and fidgety.

[pineknott]

the stitch that gives me fits is the boullion,( spelling might be off )

[Granny Square]

I cast a second thumbs-down vote for bullion stitch, I usually sub a cluster of 2-3 tall stitches instead (whatever fits the pattern appearance-wise).

I prefer more structured stitches, I tend to sub popcorns for puffs for example, and avoid hairpin lace, Solomon's knot and that sort of thing.  

On the other hand, I really like the tidy, finished LOOK of reverse single crochet so I do use it for potholders and such; those first couple of stitches are a lulu but my brain and fingers get the hang of it after that  

[Scoop183]

Does Picot count as a stitch?  If so, that's my vote.

[Lacycrochet]

I dislike the triple crochet.  Don't like the look of it and it is boring.

[NCcountrygal]

Bullion. Reading or watching the steps…my eyes cross. Not on my priority list to learn. 😝

That one isn't too bad.

I did a table cloth that I posted once in the show and tell.  It was all trc's and I have disliked them ever since. lol.  I find now if I see a pattern and it has a lot of trc's I avoid it.
