The Crochet Granny Stripe Stitch is a fun and versatile technique that can add a touch of vintage charm to your projects. By using different colors and varying the width of the stripes, you can create unique and eye-catching designs. This stitch is perfect for making blankets, scarves, or even home decor items like pillows. So grab your crochet hook and a rainbow of yarns, and let your creativity run wild with the delightful Crochet Granny Stripe Stitch! It's a great way to add some handmade warmth and love to your surroundings.

For this tutorial I used Lion Brand Lion’s Pride Woolspun and a 6.5 mm hook, but you can use any yarn you like. Just check the yarn label for the recommended hook size for best results.

Steps 1-6 in the photos above.

Step 1: Put a slip knot on your hook.
Step 2: Make your starting chain. For the granny stripe pattern, you’ll need a multiple of 3+2 (for the practice swatch in this tutorial, I’ll be making 14 chains…when we break that down we get: 3+3+3+3+2, or 12+2)
Step 3: In the 2nd chain from the hook, work a single crochet.
Step 4: Work a single crochet in each chain across.
Step 5: Chain 3 (counts as a dc) and turn.

Step 6: Work 1 double crochet in that very first stitch.
