What do you feel is the easiest stitch you have learned?
Hello members,
What do you feel is the easiest stitch you have learned in crocheting? Thanks again for your insights!

Other than the basic chain, I've always found that the single crochet is not only the easiest to learn but also the easiest to teach.
Once you've learned the basic single crochet stitch, all other stitches can be learned based on that.Crochetgal on Etsy - Beautiful yarns, affordable prices

Once you have learned the basics of crochet I have found the Herringbone stitch is one of the easiest plus most surprising stitches I have learned. It is just a variation of the DC and what a huge difference it makes. You need to do about 4 rows to see the pattern well, but I love it. I have made 4 or 5 afghans and several scarves using it. Check it out on youtube.

I think the easiest stitch I've learned is the crocodile stitch! And it's fun and quick too = )

For me, it has been the single crochet and the double crochet. It's amazine how much you can do with just those two stitches!

I agree with you Catdoll, it amazes me also how much you can do with just different combinations of the SC and DC stitches.

For a single stitch, I think the single crochet or double crochet are the easiest. For the easiest groupings of stiches, the basic pattern of either the ripple or the granny square is the simplest. I have taught all of these to several people and they catch on fairly well.

Hi rack, I must admit that the ripple pattern is not so easy for me. I've tried a number of times and it looks good for four rows then for some reason I start getting confused at the end of the row and either I have too many stitches or not enough. I get so frustrated I just stop and start on another project. I've been crocheting for 40 years, I just don't understand why I have such a problem with the ripple pattern.

Very true Catdoll. Without a good foundation of the basic stitches, no others are even possible!
