Crochet Knit-Look Pattern Tutorial
Pattern Characteristics: This pattern mimics the appearance of knitting. It involves repeating two simple rows.
Instructions
Foundation Row: Chain any number of stitches based on the desired width of your project.
Forward Pass: Starting in the second chain from the hook, insert your hook into the chain. Yarn over and pull through the chain to pick up a loop. Repeat across all chains, leaving all loops on the hook.
Return Pass: Yarn over and pull through one loop on the hook (this is your chain 1). Yarn over and pull through two loops at a time until only one loop remains on the hook.
Row 2 (Forward Pass): Insert the hook into the vertical bars of the previous row (between the two vertical lines of each stitch). Yarn over and pull through to pick up a loop. Repeat this step for all stitches, ensuring the last stitch is picked up from the edge loop (the back vertical bar).
Row 2 (Return Pass): Yarn over and pull through one loop on the hook (chain 1). Yarn over and pull through two loops at a time until only one loop remains on the hook.
Repeat: Continue repeating the steps for Row 2 (Forward Pass) and Row 2 (Return Pass) until your project reaches the desired length.
Finishing: Once you complete the final row, bind off by inserting the hook into each vertical bar, yarning over, and pulling through both loops on the hook to create a clean edge.
