Jacob's Ladder Crochet Stitch

The Jacob's Ladder Crochet Stitch creates a unique and eye-catching design with vertical chains that resemble a ladder. It's perfect for blankets, scarves, and other textured projects.

Instructions

1. Foundation Row: Chain any number of stitches (multiple of your pattern requirements).
2. Row 1: Work double crochets (DC) across the row. Chain 1 and turn.
3. Row 2:
   • Work a chain loop by skipping the desired number of stitches and chaining (e.g., chain 5 for a wide ladder).
   • Work DC stitches in the next set of stitches and repeat the chain loops across the row. Chain 1 and turn.
4. Row 3: Work single crochets (SC) into the chain loops and DC into the stitches across the row. Chain 1 and turn.
5. Repeat: Repeat Rows 2 and 3 to create the ladder effect.
6. Final Step: After completing your rows, pull the loops through each other vertically to create the ladder. Secure the last loop at the top.
