Extended Moss Crochet Stitch Tutorial + Tutorial

Sharing is caring!

The extended moss crochet stitch is a really easy repeating pattern that thickens up the works as the extended double crochet goes over the ch-1 spaces and buries it inside the double crochet stitches.

What makes this stitch amazing in its look is how the extended part of the double crochet bulges outward. I can see this stitch being amazing for afghans, smaller projects and more.

Instructions

Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes. 454 g/16 oz, 372 m/407 yds

Colour is Maiti.

I used 4.5 mm / G/6 hook but yarn requires 5 mm / H/8 hook which can be used. Ensure the hook matches the ball brand recommendation. 

Abbreviations

  • Ch(s) = Chain(s)
  • Ext Dc = Extended double crochet. Double crochet 2 rows below trapping the ch-1 inside the stitch. Give a bit of slack when completing the double crochet.  
  • Hdc = Half Double Crochet
  • Rem = Remain(ing)
  • Rep = Repeat
  • RS = Right Side
  • Sc = Single Crochet
  • Sk = Skip

Instructions

Note: This stitch is double-sided. 

Chain in multiples of 2 chs + 1. Scarf shown is chain 31. 

1st row: RS. 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Turn. 

2nd row: Ch 1 (doesn’t count as st), 1 dc in first 2 sc. Ch 1, sk next sc. *1 dc in next sc, ch 1, sk next st. Rep from * across until 3 sc rem. 1 dc in last 3 sc. Turn.  

The next row is the same for the entire project until you want to finish with the last row. 

3rd row: Ch 1, 1 hdc in first 2 sts. *Ch 1, sk next st, 1 ext dc 2 rows below. Rep from * across until 2 sts rem. 1 hdc in last 2 sts. Turn. 

Rep 3rd until size desired. 

Last row: Ch 1, 1 sc in first 3 sts, 1 ext dc 2 rows below. *1 sc in next st, 1 ext dc 2 rows below. Rep from * across. 1 sc in last 2 sts. Fasten off.

    I have limited hearing so need patterns written which I prefer. Even if a caption was on the video it'd
    be good. Videos are hard to see as stitches aren' t clear. I do many blankets for charity with a group.
    I really like the extended pattern. I hope to see this improvement soon. Thank you.

    Love the look of this stitch. At 3:46 you say you are going to hdc and it looks like you did a dc. Is that correct?

    I love this! I am going to make some wash clothes 🙂 To answer the question of HOW TO FINISH the project without the gaps in the last row. *This is what I did*

    I figured to start and finish each row he has you do a hdc *half double*, so I did a hdc on next row down then an extended moss stitch in the gap (2 rows down) *repeat to the end* and finish the row with the last 2 hdc like every other row. It's even and looks perfect 🙂
