How To: Crochet The Granny Stripe Stitch – Easy Tutorial

Most crocheters learned their creative skills from the tutelage of their patient mothers and grandmothers. One of the first projects most crocheters will ever venture to attempt crocheting is the Granny Square! 
The Granny Square is a staple amongst all crocheters, but if you’re anything like me, having to devote hours upon hours to crocheting seperate squares and then joining them together leaves me a bit disinterested.
Due to this very reason I’m sure many of you share in my frustration, which is why I decided to share the Granny Stripe Stitch with you all!
The Granny Stripe Stitch creates a classic and beautifully textured fabric, which is why I’m sure you’ll be eager to use this stitch when crocheting cosy heirloom blankets (for all those future grandchildren) and adorable scarves! 

If you’re excited to soak up some extra crochet knowledge, this helpful video will guide you through all the necessary steps to learn the “Granny Stripe Stitch” (in an easy to follow speed), as you continue on your ever-growing crochet journey!

Foundation:
Chain in multiple of 3 + 1.

Pattern:
Row 1-  Ch1, single crochet in 2nd chain from your hook. Crochet 1 single crochet into every chain stitch, all the way to the end. Turn your work.
Row 2- Chain 3, 1 dc in the same st (creates dc cluster). *Skip 2 stitches, 3 double crochets in the next stitch (creates dc cluster). Repeat from the * until 3 stitches remain. Skip 2 stitches, 2 double crochets into the next/last stitch (creates dc cluster). Turn your work.
Row 3- Chain 3, 3 double crochets (creates dc cluster) into the first space between dc clusters. *3 double crochets (creates dc cluster) in the next space between dc clusters. Repeat from the * all the way to the end. 1 dc in the top of “Chain 3” from previous row. Turn your work.
Row 4- Chain 3, 1 dc in the same st (creates dc cluster). *3 double crochets (creates dc cluster) in the next space between dc clusters. Repeat from the * all the way to the end. 2 dc (creates dc cluster) in the top of “Chain 3” from previous row. Turn your work.

Repeat:
Row 3 – 4 until you reach your desired length.

Are there any other crochet stitches or techniques you’d love to learn?

I’m always open to new ideas and inspiration when it comes to 
sharing crochet with the world!

    Video says chain 2 in rows 2, 3, and 4 but written instructions say chain 3.
    Video says you do 2 DC in last space at the end of row 4 but the written instructions says “at the top of chain 3.”
    Chain 3 throughout the written instructions should say chain 2 as stated in video

      Tight crocheters will need to chain 3, loose crocheters will need to chain 2.
      It is a matter of personal preference what your chain looks like.

    Why is it when you go to your rows (2), (3),etc in the video you note to chain 2 to end you row and turn your work, but in the written instructions it notes chain (3). I am confused. Please help.

      I noticed this too but haven’t heard back. I’m well into my blanket and have used the chain 2 instruction and it’s working well. There is another error which I noted in my comment as well. I followed the pattern in the video and made a change to the written pattern. Hope this helps.

    How do you do the border and tie off all the threads from each row? I was thinking of knotting each thread at the end of its row, but then I have to cover this with a border that hides them. What did you do?

    At the beginning, you say multiples of 3+1, but then you say chain one to start, is that chain the +1?

    Hi! I found your video on the granny stripe stitch on YouTube and I’m new to crochet. In that video you said to click on the link in the description for how to do the double crochet stitch if you didn’t know how to do it. When I clicked on the link it said the video was private. I was wondering if you had a video perhaps somewhere else? I really want to learn this pattern and could use the extra help. Thank you either way in advance!

    Beautiful! Can you clarify the chaining instructions? In the video you chain two at the end of the rows, but the written pattern says to chain three.
