In UK terms, you’ll work double crochet (dc) and treble crochet (tr) stitches.

The Suzette Stitch is especially popular for projects that need structure it’s great for home décor items like blankets or bags, and also for soft wearables like scarves and cowls.

Step by Step

Step-by-Step Instructions (US Terms)

1. Start with a foundation chain in an even number of stitches.
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, work 1 single crochet (sc) and 1 double crochet (dc) into the same stitch.
3. Skip the next chain.
4. In the following chain, work 1 sc and 1 dc again.
5. Continue across the row: (sc, dc) in one stitch, skip 1 stitch.
6. End with 1 single crochet in the final chain. Turn your work.
7. Row 2: Chain 1, then work 1 sc and 1 dc into the first sc of the previous row (not into the dc).
8. Skip the next stitch, and work (sc, dc) into each single crochet across the row.
9. Repeat Row 2 for the rest of your project.

The alternating pattern keeps your fabric beautifully textured, flat, and reversible.
