Righteous Twin Stitch Crochet Tutorial

Hello everyone, it's Deja with KnitAndCrochetEverAfter.com and today we're doing the Righteous Twin stitch pattern. This is a cool kind of twin stitch because there's a lot of double crochets put together in this pattern. Real easy repeat. The pattern is below. I'll talk more about this sample after we do the stitches, but let's get started. Alright, multiple for this pattern is 2 plus 1. It's a great stitch amount, any size you need. So I'm going to do a beanie. You can make any size you want by multiplying by 2 and then adding 1 for your foundation chain. So to begin row 1, we're going to do double crochets all the way across. So we're going to start in the first chain. Row 2, we're going to start our pattern repeat, or row repeat, because it's just a 2 row repeat. We're going to start with a chain 1, and then we're going to single crochet in this very first stitch. And it's going to be kind of different. We're not going to crochet into a lot of stitches. So what our repeat will be is a chain 2. And for this is going to be the one kind of weird one because we're counting this chain three crochet and this is called the twin stitch so that we'll crochet between going into the loops of crochet. This time that creates that bigger gap between. So again we'll chain two crochets and go between second and third. A little bit different here at the end because we have three double crochets here. That wasn't a turning chain, this is a normal double crochet. This is our turning chain. So we're going to do our chain two. Instead of working between the second and third, we're actually going to go into the turning chains we're going to do. So, we have those chained spaces. We call this the twin stitch, right? So we need to do two double crochets in that chain two. So we're going to do one, two more double crochets in our next one. Nice and easy. It's going to change when we get to the very end, so pay attention. Otherwise, you'll end up with too many stitches. So we're doing those double crochets all the way across when we come to this last chain two. Remember this was kind of a weird one too at the very beginning anyways. So in that last chain two space we did three at this end, we're not doing three at this end, we're doing one double crochet in that chain two spot. So remember it's kind of small than the rest because we only skipped really one double crochet at the beginning of the row. And then we're going to do our last double crochet in that single crochet of the row we're doing for this entire stitch pattern. We do our single crochet, chain 2, we'll do the single crochets between the double crochets of the row below, we come back and work double crochets into those chain 2s, having to find your stitches when you're working them, you know like actually getting into loops since you're going through between and in chain 2 spots. So it's pretty fast. I like how it turned out. This is no blocking at all, this is with an H hook and worsted weight, it's totally reversible as most crochet is. This would make a really pretty scarf, and this would look really pretty with variegated yarn because you'd have that open space so the self-striping yarn would look really nice. Nice and easy pattern to do while watching TV, those are my favorite kind.
