  • Learn how to crochet the crocodile stitch in this tutorial video.
    The crochet crocodile stitch, sometimes known as dragon scales, is oftentimes used for textured work like a mermaid blanket, clothing, crochet edgings, and handbags. The stitch pattern is quick and easy to learn, as it is made up of double crochet stitches. The scales are made around the post part of the previous row's stitches, which gives them the unique texture and design.
    For this video I'm using 100% acrylic yarn in a DK weight (a square 3 on the label) with a 4.5 mm crochet hook. As always any other size crochet hook and yarn can be used. I like to refer to the yarn label for a suggested sizes and gauge.
    Any questions, please ask. And enjoy! Donna Wolfe from Naztazia

    How cute is this for a mermaid blanket, perhaps? Handbag? Edging along clothing?

    Made an adult cocoon sweater with this stitch as the trim, and made many pairs of fingerless gloves with it as well. I also made a mermaid tale blanket for my granddaughter.

    Thank you, Donna!! This is the best set of instructions I've ever seen! I so appreciated that you specified the type of yarn you used, and gave the number of the crochet hook you used.
    Even better is that you explained what you were doing at each step, specifying which stitch you used and how many stitches you skipped as you moved along.
    EXCELLENT!!!

    Does it need to be in the back loop only or can I go into both loops for the initial chain?

      It can be done however you wish, back loop, front loop, both top loops, underneath loop, etc.

      Try using the playback speed setting YTube provides to adjust the speed of the video. Click on the gear icon, click on Playback speed, and set it to something slower like .25.
