How to Crochet the Silt Stitch

Get ready for another beautiful stitch pattern!  Today we’re learning another easy crochet stitch pattern.  The Silt Stitch is another spin on single crochet and double crochet stitches that result in amazing texture!

To crochet the Silt Stitch, the double crochets are worked in the double crochet of the previous row and the single crochets are worked into the single crochet of the previous row. Easy right?

Silt Stitch Crochet Tutorial

The amazing texture of the silt stitch is all in the placement of alternating single crochet and double crochet stitches!  You might notice that the Soft Moss Stitch and the Grit Stitch also use alternating single crochet and double crochet stitches.  The difference lies in the placement.  Make sure to check out each post to see the differences!  I love that we can create decidedly different textures with simple stitch placement!
