bit of a worsted weight yarn it's a 100% acrylic yarn it's the basic stitch by Lion Brand you'll be needing two colors for this crochet stitch today so I'm going to be working in sort of this peachy color and this blue color for our tutorial you're also going to need a 5 mm or an 8 eight crochet hook and uh this is one of the F streamline metal crochet hooks uh in the blush pink color you'll also want a copy of the free written instructions which you'll find on my website at Rich textures crochet.com and I'll put links to these items and to the crochet pattern in the description of this video so thank you so much for joining me while you're here I invite you to subscribe say hello down in in the comments and uh take a look around this channel is updated every single week with free crochet patterns and Stitch tutorials now our pattern today is worked in rows so we're going to start by making a slip knot and we're going to start by working with our color a so make a slip knot you're then going to work a foundation chain and your foundation chain simply needs to be an even number of stitches or a multiple of two I'm going to chain 24 stitches today 24 once you have your foundation chain worked you're going to begin Row one by working a single crochet into the second chain from your hook and then single crochet into each Stitch all the way across once you come all the way across you're going to chain four which counts as a double crochet stitch for your chain three and then a chain one so chain four and turn your work you're then going to skip the next Stitch and then work one double crochet into the next chain one skip the next Stitch and double crochet into your next you're going to repeat this all the way across for your row two chain one Skip One double crochet into your next Stitch chain one Skip One double crochet into your next Stitch all the way across when you come all the way across at the end of your row two you're going to switch over to your color B so to switch over to your color B you've worked your chain one you're going to skip the next Stitch with your color a yarn over and insert your hook into that final Stitch yarn over and draw up a loop yarn over and pull through two Loops drop your color a pick up your color B and place it on your hook some people like to use a slip knot it's up to you but you're just going to pull it through you're then going to with your new yarn chain one and turn your work you're then all set to continue with Row three for Row three you're going to single crochet into your first Stitch next working in behind the row just made you're going to work work a double crochet into the next Stitch two rows below that next Stitch is the skipped Stitch so yarn over bring your hook and back of your work and then around through and insert it through the single skip single crochet stitch yarn over draw up a loop and complete your double crochet stitch you're then going to work a single crochet into the next double crochet we're now going to repeat that all the way across work one double crochet into the next skipped Stitch working in two rows below working in behind uh your row that you just made your row of double crochets so sometimes it helps just to pull your double crochets forward and then you can see that skip single crochet and work your double crochet stitch single crochet into the top of the next double crochet double crochet into the next skip Stitch two rows below working in behind the stitches worked previously single crochet double crochet two rows below repeat that all the way across when you come all the way across you're going to work your final single crochet into the third chain of that starting chain four you can then chain four and turn your work again that chain four counts as a double crochet and chain one you're then going to just as you did for your row two skip the next Stitch and work a double crochet into the next chain one skip the next Stitch double crochet into the next repeat that all the way across until you come to your final Stitch when you come to your final Stitch you're going to switch back to your color a and uh then you're ready to to begin row four five I'm just going to continue working all the way across here so when you come across work a double crochet into this final Stitch switching back to your color a which is placed just down below just draw it up your side if you are working a pattern where you're not going to have an edging there may be a reason why you want to cut the thread each time or the yarn each time here I'm just carrying it up the side chain one and turn your work we are now going to essentially repeat the pattern just worked rows three and four for as long as you would like switching colors at the end of every second row so we're now going to repeat our Row three single crochet into the first Stitch then working in behind the row just worked and into the skip Stitch two rows below work one double crochet single crochet into the next Stitch and double crochet into the next skip Stitch two rows below can repeat that all the way across then work your chain four and turn and now work your double crochet and chain one spaces so once again repeat rows three and four switching colors after every two rows and uh that's all there is to working this really neat looking zipper Stitch so thank you so
