But the Chainless Standing Double Crochet is just perfect. If you use a ch-2 to not count as a stitch and DC in 1st stitch, you get an uneven edge. Pattern uses Chainless Standing Double Crochet Stitch, which is just what it sounds… a chainless standing DC! I do not like to use ch-3 as a stitch, because it doesn’t really look like a stitch. It also has more stretch and looks more uniformed in a project. I allows you to make the stitch and the chain at the same time. I use a foundation row to start just about any project. To start out this square sampler make a foundation row of 22 DC stitches. I am using a J 6.0mm Crochet Hook and Medium Weight #3 Yarn. I used medium weight yarn for the Celtic Stitch photos instead of the bulky from the poncho pattern. It uses bulky weight yarn, like Red Heart Hygge or Soft Essentials. It is worked with several different square designs and sewn together into a poncho. I am using the Celtic Stitch in one of my newest pattern designer, the Square Sampler Poncho. So, we will be using both front and back post stitches with one side of the work being right side.

Post stitch can be made in the front or the back.įor this example of the Celtic Stitch, we will be making a square. Post stitches are when you use a double crochet or treble crochet stitch to crochet around the stitch from the previous row instead of in the top loops that you would normally crochet in to. The Celtic Stitch uses post stitches to get the woven look.
