Surface Zig Zag Crochet Stitch

The Surface Zig Zag Crochet Stitch creates a dynamic and decorative pattern that is perfect for adding texture and visual interest to your crochet projects. Use it for blankets, bags, or as an accent stitch in larger designs.

Stitch Instructions

Foundation Chain: Work a base piece of crochet fabric (any stitch pattern) onto which you will apply the surface zigzag design.

Step 1: Insert the hook into the base fabric where you want to start the zigzag pattern.

Step 2: Pull up a loop and chain 1 to secure.

Step 3: Working diagonally, insert the hook into the next desired stitch (up or down), yarn over, and pull through the loop.

Step 4: Repeat Step 3 to create the zigzag effect, adjusting the spacing of your diagonal stitches as needed for your pattern.

Step 5: Fasten off and weave in the ends when the zigzag is complete.
