Y-Stitch Crochet

“Y- STITCH CROCHET” – BY HILARIA FINA

Consists of 3 parts:  a treble crochet stitch, a chain stitch and a double crochet stitch. The combination of these 3 stitches is what creates the awesome Y-stitch.

CROCHETING INTO THE BACK BUMP OF A CHAIN
When you turn your chain, you’ll see a small ‘bump’ on the wrong side of each stitch.

START CROCHETING |

The turning chains at the beginning of even rows count as a stitch, while in odd rows they do not count as a stitch.

Number of rows in pattern repeat : 2

No reversible.

TO BEGIN: chain multiple 3 + 2+ 1 turning chain.

R1 | Starting in 2nd ch through back bumps, 1 sc to end.

R2 | 4 ch (counts as 1 tr st), turn, skip 1 st, 1 Y-stitch, [skip 2 sts, 1 Y-stitch] repeat until last 2 sts, skip 1 st, 1 tr in last st.
