Suzette Stitch

Suzette stitch pairs a single crochet and a double crochet in the same stitch, then skips the next stitch, and repeats that little group all the way along. Because each group puts a short stitch and a taller stitch side by side and the next row nests its groups into the previous ones, the fabric builds a soft, dense, gently pebbled surface that grows quickly and lies flat. It is genuinely a beginner pattern, using only the two most common stitches with no clusters or posts, yet it looks more finished than plain rows and is reversible. The skipped stitch keeps the count steady and gives the fabric a little drape, which makes suzette a good choice for baby blankets, scarves, and washcloths. Keep the single-then-double order consistent within each group and remember to skip a stitch between groups, and the pattern settles into an easy rhythm after the first row. It uses a moderate amount of yarn for its coverage.
