What Is the Suzette Stitch in Crochet?
The Suzette Stitch is created by working one single crochet and one double crochet into the same stitch, then skipping the next stitch. This simple repeat builds a gorgeous, slightly raised pattern that resembles woven fabric. It adds both texture and warmth without being bulky.
In US terms, the stitch uses single crochet (sc) and double crochet (dc).
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 Instructions (US Terms)

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).
