How to Work the Tilted Block Stitch

Make a treble crochet (Tr) in the designated stitch.
Chain 3.
Work 3 double crochets (dc) around the post of the treble crochet you just made.

This creates the signature tilted, block-like structure of the stitch. By repeating this across your rows, you’ll form the unique pattern.

How to Make a Sample Swatch

To practice, start with a foundation chain of 28 stitches.

Row 1

Single crochet (sc) in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across.
Turn your work.

Row 2 (Right Side)

Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
Double crochet in each of the next 2 single crochets.
Pattern repeat: Skip the next 2 single crochets, work a Tilted Block Stitch in the next single crochet, skip the next 2 single crochets, then double crochet in each of the next 3 single crochets.
Repeat across the row.
Turn your work.

Row 3

Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
Double crochet in each of the next 2 double crochets.
Pattern repeat: Chain 2, single crochet into the top of the chain-3 from the previous row’s Tilted Block Stitch, chain 2, then double crochet in each of the next 3 double crochets.
Repeat across the row.
Turn your work.

Row 4

Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
Double crochet in each of the next 2 double crochets.
