what is this stitch and how to??

[zocey]

My aunt made me this beautiful afghan and it has stood the test of time and many washings. I have left the url in which to see the stitch. I just want to know what the stitch is and how to do it. Any information and help would be appreciated. http://home.bellsouth.net/p/PWP-wilsontricia

 

Thanks:think

I think you are right, it looks like it to me too.

I'm agreeing with that I think it looks the same. Very pretty afghan

Wow, that's interesting. I have two books with that stitch. One calls it brick stitch, and the other calls it tulip stitch.

Yep! I've also seen it called diagonal box stitch

I found something quite similar in Liz Blackwell's "A Treasury of Crochet Patterns". She does not give it a name; it is simply No. 16 under Double crochet. The instructions are as follows.

 

Chain a multiple of 4 plus 3.

 

Row 1: In 4th ch from hook work (2 dc, ch 1, 1 dc), * skip 3 ch, in next ch work (3 dc, ch 1, 1 dc); rep from *, ending skip 2 ch, 1 dc in last ch. Ch 3, turn.

 

Row 2: Under first ch-1 work (2 dc, ch 1, 1dc), * under next ch-1 work ( 3 dc, ch 1, 1 dc); rep from *, ending pattern under last ch-1, 1 dc in 2nd ch of turning ch. Ch 3, turn.

 

Repeat row 2 for pattern.

 

 

Hope this is the right one. It sure looks close to me.

That's what I was going to say, looks like the diagonal box stitch.

 

Very simple and works up fast.

 

Ch 6, dc in 4th, 5th and 6th ch from hook, ch 6, turn.

 

Dc in 4th, 5th and 6th ch from hook, sl st in ch-3 sp from prev row, 3 dc in same sp. Ch 6 turn

 

I know you can find tutorials on this, just google diagonal crochet/diagonal stitch and you'll find them.
