STACKED SINGLE CROCHET STITCH
When working in double crochet, there are mainly two ways in which you can start a new row:
- Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch), working the first double crochet in the first stitch, the edges of your crochet fabric are wavy.
- Chain 3 or 2 (counts as first stitch), working the first double crochet in the next stitch, every row will have a little gap at the beginning, because the initial 3 turning chains are not as thick as one regular double crochet.
This is when the Stacked Single Crochet becomes a great new stitch to learn! The idea is to imitate the look of a double crochet appearing in the row.

With STSC:
- There are not unsightly gaps at the beginning of the rows!
- It creates a nice clean edge along your work. This is especially helpful if you need to add a border to your project.
