Materials Needed:
– Worsted weight yarn of any fiber (I used Berroco Comfort)
– A crochet hook that is appropriate for the yarn selected (I used my 5mm Furls Streamline Ebony)
– Scissors
– Yarn needle

Terms:
CH – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
DC – Double Crochet

Tutorial Notes:
– The suzette stitch is worked with an even number of chain stitches. For teaching purposes, I will chain 20 and make a small swatch
– This tutorial is written in US terms (find a stitch conversion chart here)
– Turning CH 1 does not count as a stitch
– The single crochet and double crochet that make up the suzette stitch are placed together in the same stitch. You will be making the suzette stitch into the single crochet stitches of the previous row

Tutorial:
Begin by chaining 20.

Row 1:
Into the second CH from your hook, place 1 SC and 1 DC. Skip the next stitch. *Into the next stitch, place 1 SC and 1 DC. Skip the next stitch.*

Repeat this sequence from * to * until you have two stitches left at the end of the row.

Skip the next stitch and in the final stitch, place 1 SC. CH 1 and turn.

Row 2:
Into the first stitch (make sure you aren’t working into your turning chain), place 1 SC and 1 DC. See photo below for placement:

Skip the next stitch. Place 1 SC and 1 DC. Skip the next stitch. *Into the next stitch, place 1 SC and 1 DC. Skip the next stitch.*

Repeat this sequence from * to * until you have two stitches left at the end of the row. Skip the next stitch and in the final stitch, place 1 SC. CH 1 and turn.

The final stitch placement can slant down slightly and be easy to miss. The photo below will show an example of where to place your one SC:

Row 3:
Into the first stitch, place 1 SC and 1 DC. Skip the next stitch. Place 1 SC and 1 DC. Skip the next stitch. *Into the next stitch, place 1 SC and 1 DC. Skip the next stitch.*

Repeat this sequence from * to * until you have two stitches left at the end of the row. Skip the next stitch and in the final stitch, place 1 SC. CH 1 and turn.

Continuing Your Swatch
The suzette stitch is repetitive and the same for each row so it is easy to continue your swatch for as many rows as you would like. Once you reach your desired length, simply fasten off as you normally would and weave in your ends.

This stitch doesn’t require much in the way of blocking, if any at all. With an even and consistent tension, the edges are usually quite straight. This stitch creates a beautiful texture and an appealing design that makes a great option for a variety of projects.
