I’ve never seen this before, thanks!
Ah, the crocodile stitch—that one always feels a bit like you’re taming a tiny dragon with your hook! It’s a fun and textured stitch that creates those lovely overlapping scales, perfect for adding some flair to scarves, bags, or even a cheeky little amigurumi outfit. To start, you work a foundation of double crochets, then crochet pairs of double crochets around each stitch to form those “scales” that layer up like a reptile’s hide. It takes a bit of practice to get the rhythm and spacing just right, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be hooked—literally! Just remember to keep your tension even and don’t be shy about using a stitch marker to keep track. Before you know it, you’ll have a piece that’s as snappy and eye-catching as a crocodile’s smile!
