This crochet waistcoat stitch great to achieve knit look texture into your crochet project. It looks like stockinette stitch in knitting.
You can crochet this stitch in rounds or rows. I have not tried in rows yet. But I think this stitch easy to work in rounds than rows.
In this tutorial we are going to learn how to crochet waistcoat stitch in rounds.
Keep in mind
- Always use a larger hook instead of recommended hook size for the yarn weight you selected. (I recommend going up the hook size at least 0.5mm from the recommended hook size on the label of the yarn)
- The stitches needs to be crocheted little bit loosely than you normally do.
Notes
- The knit stitch can be worked with any number of chains.
- You can work this stitch with solid or multiple colors.
- Also best to work graph/tapestry crochet/colorwork patterns.
You will need
Any weight of yarns you wish to use and a larger hook from the recommended hook size on the yarn label.

- Scissors
- Stitch markers
- Measuring tape and
- Yarn needle for weaving ends.
