The alpine stitch is a great one to add to your list! It is easy to learn and creates a beautiful texture by alternating between normal and front post crochet stitches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, this stitch is super simple! If you know how to single and double crochet, you already know everything needed to learn this stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alpine stitch is great for any project. I\u2019ve seen it used for blankets, hats, sweaters, scarves, and more! Use this stitch to add texture and warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The texture in this stitch comes from its front post stitches. These are made just like regular crochet stitches; however, they are made around previous stitches instead of being worked into the top \u201cv.\u201d This tutorial walks you through everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"materials\">Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Yarn<\/li><li>Crochet Hook<\/li><li>Scissors (for cutting yarn at the end)<\/li><li>Tapestry Needle (for weaving in ends)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the photos below, I am using worsted weight yarn from my stash. It is 100% acrylic yarn. The hook I am using is a 4.5 mm hook. If your stitches tend to be tight, I would recommend sizing up your hook (about 1-2 hook sizes or 0.5-1.0 mm). Feel free to experiment with different sized hooks and yarns, as well as different yarn types!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we begin, this stitch is also perfect for blending different colors together! I personally think that a series of rainbow yarns, pastel colors, or any gradient lends itself beautifully to this stitch. Pictured below is a rainbow swatch of the alpine stitch from <a href=\"https:\/\/naztazia.com\/\">Naztazia.com<\/a>. Without further ado, the alpine stitch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/littleworldofwhimsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/rainbow_alpine.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littleworldofwhimsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/rainbow_alpine.jpeg 678w, https:\/\/littleworldofwhimsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/rainbow_alpine-600x337.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/littleworldofwhimsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/rainbow_alpine-300x169.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><figcaption>Blend colors beautifully with the alpine stitch!

In the same vein, DC will always be worked into the SC row below.<\/li><li>If the edges of your piece are not as straight as you\u2019d like, add a border with a simple slip stitch or SC to straighten out the piece.<\/li><li>There are many ways to crochet the alpine stitch. I find that this method is the simplest. However, you may want to explore other methods. Check out this article titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craft-her.com\/how-to-crochet-alpine-stitch-in-two-ways\/\">\u201cHow to Crochet Alpine Stitch in Two Ways\u201d<\/a> from Craft-Her for 2 more methods!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-do-if-your-piece-is-curling\">What to do if your piece is curling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a really nice flat piece with straight edges, it is key to make sure you bring up the yarn on the extended front post double crochet stitches. When those front post double crochet stitches are too tight, the alpine stitch has a tendency to curl. To avoid this curling, bring up a generous amount of yarn when you yarn over. Loosening your tension will help as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can always try out a larger crochet hook if your piece is still curling. Using a larger hook will loosen up your stitches for you, so that you don\u2019t have to worry about your tension!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a larger hook does not help the curling either, you can try switching the front post double crochet stitches with front post treble crochet stitches. This stitch is longer and should help keep your piece flat. This minute-long video, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kv-xgDvRoDY\">Front Post Treble Crochet Technique<\/a>, by Leisure Arts Inc on YouTube guides you through the stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If all else fails, blocking your work will flatten out the piece. I\u2019ve written about blocking acrylic yarn with steam. Check out this link to <a href=\"https:\/\/littleworldofwhimsy.com\/how-to-block-acrylic-yarn-the-easy-way-in-3-simple-steps\/\">How to Block Acrylic the Easy Way (in 3 Simple Steps!)<\/a> for more information and detailed instructions. Crocheting an edge or border along your piece is also a common fix for curling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s all for today. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and go on to try out the alpine stitch for yourself\u2014happy crocheting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking to learn another crochet stitch?
