I’m so excited to share this tutorial with you. The Royal Ridge Stitch is a wonderfully decorative double sided crochet texture. Ideal for projects that need a thick, dense fabric such as potholders or dishclothes, or projects like scarves where both sides can be visible.

    What stitch would go along with this in terms of stitch height? For example, if I wanted to use this as ribbing on a blanket by stitching 15 in on either side, what would fit for the interior? Thanks!!

    I love this pattern so much! I used it to make a weighted blanket with an extra chunky yarn and it turned out beautifully. I realized after starting a second blanket that I was accidentally using doubles instead of half-double stitches throughout. Is that going to be a problem? Or can this pattern be done with either? Thanks!

    Thank you for promoting this beautiful stitch. I love stripy stitches and this one is the perfect replacement for my DC (USA) stripes – less gaps, more texture 🙂
