The crochet crunch stitch is one of my favorite crochet stitches because it’s such a beautiful texture. It’s a combination of the half double crochet and slip stitch. And together they create the perfect cozy texture for the winter, as well as for throughout the year.
The stitch is the same texture on both sides, so it’s perfect for infinity cowls, scarves or anything else where the wrong sides tend to show a lot.
Here are a few patterns using the crunch stitch:
