Crunch Stitch

Has anyone ever done this stitch?

I love the way it looks. It looks like it would drape well. I think it looks like k*t but my husband who is a k*tter does not think so. How difficult could double crochet, slip stitch be?

I both knit and crochet and it looks like crochet to me, not like knitting. If you like the stitch and can do it in crochet, does it really matter?

I knit and crochet also, and this looks like crochet. I've made a sweater in a stitch similar to this one, double crochet then single crochet in one direction, in the other direction single crochet over the double crochet and double crochet over the single crochet In fact about the only crochet I've ever done that really resembles a knit stitch is the tunisian knit stitch. It is almost impossible to tell from knitting unless you actually handle the fabric.

It is a crochet stitch.

While a very pretty and textured stitch, this is actually a slightly denser/stiffer/less drapey stitch than straight hdc.

I love the hdc stitch...In fact I just made a dishcloth with it. It's probably my fav. crochet stitch.

Thanks, Granny Square. I thought it looked like a lacier pattern. If I had not been so darned lazy, I would have tried a test square-Duh! People on here are so very nice, and diplomatic.

I took a look at the featured pattern. It's a classic! I might do it someday, along with WIMs. Only one thing I would change is the ribbed wristlets part.

 

It's a lovely stitch!

It's one of the pattern stitches in "Crochet Your Way" by Gloria Tracy & I was thinking it would make a great dishcloth. I hate slipstitching though.

It appears to be a lovely stitch.

I've not heard of the "crunch stitch" before now, but I do love a similar version of it that was called the "up-down stitch" which is a row of sc's and dc's. then sc in the dc's and dc n the sc's. it is NOT a very lacy stitch, but i keep planning to try to use it for a afghan at some point due to it seeming to be a bit dense/warmish.
