Prairie Stitch

What We Learned

We talked about a large community service project that we have been asked to participate.  Our goal is to donate at least 40  baby blankets and matching hats by the end of August.  Judy, Deb , and Adrienne will coordinate outreach to crocheters, collecting, and delivering.  

We also learned a new stitch for the next section of our sampler shawl.

Prairie Stitch

  • This pattern is worked in TWO rows.
  •  Your starting chain can be any EVEN number.
  • This is a tight stitch  (good for blankets, scarf, tote bag…)

Row 1: sc in each stitch to end. ch 2, turn.

Row 2: skip first stitch, 2 hdc in next stitch, skip next stitch, 2 hdc in next stitch to end. in last stitch, 1 hdc, ch 1, turn

Row 3: sc in each stitch until you get to the last 2 stitches (hdc, and turning chain). skip the hdc, and sc in turning chain. ch 2, turn

Repeat Row 2 & 3 for pattern.
