Have you ever wanted your crocheted garments to have that knit look without actually having to knit them? Let me show you how to crochet the knit stitch!
There’s something so classic about the stockinette stitch in knitting that makes us crocheters want to imitate it slightly in our own line of work. Sure, you could just learn to knit, or if you know how, switch to your needles instead of your hook. But when you can work a simple crochet stitch pattern and get the desired look, why compromise?
The knit stitch goes by many names: waistcoat stitch, center single crochet, center post single crochet, shallow single crochet. It can sound intimidating but don’t worry, it’s as simple as your basic single crochet with a slight alteration. Click Here To Read More »
In this beanie pattern I have compiled two popular elements in crochet right now, the bun beanie aspect and the crochet knit stitch. When I started designing this hat I didn’t intend to make it into a bun beanie but after coming to the end of the pattern it just seemed to be a good idea.
The single crochet stitch used in this pattern for the majority of the body is called many things — waistcoat stitch, center single crochet, center post single crochet, shallow single crochet, and the crochet knit stitch. However you call it, what attracts most people to the stitch is that it looks a whole lot like the stockinette stitch in knitting.
But don’t let this intimidate you, this is as easy as single crochet, because that is exactly what it is! By inserting the hook into the lower middle of each single crochet, you will have effectually created a “knit” crochet stitch. Have fun!
