What is the Crunch Stitch?
The crunch stitch is a simple one-row repeat that alternates between half double crochet (hdc) and slip stitch (sl st) to create a tight, textured fabric. It’s a great stitch for blankets, scarves, and even dishcloths.
Why Use Two Colors?
Adding a second color to the crunch stitch makes the texture pop even more! In this tutorial, we’ll switch colors every two rows, allowing both shades to work together beautifully while keeping the pattern easy to follow.
