Also, if I end with single and then start the next chain with double, would this work? In other words, would it work if I just do the opposite of the previous row?
Thank you for the great tutorial. I came here to check that I'm getting this stitch right as a pattern I'm currently following says I should end every row on a SC. With this stitch pattern, that can't be done without losing (or gaining) stitches, can it? 🤔
It would just depend on the pattern. The lemon peel stitch in itself is just alternating single and double crochets...but how the rows start and end are entirely up to the pattern writer and what they want/are trying to achieve.
I don’t understand how do you end with a double if you have odd number of chains! If you always start with a single, then double will be even number in count- 2nd, 4th and so on. Could you please explain?
You don't crochet into the first chain from the hook, you skip that one and crochet into the second chain from the hook. So you'll end up with an even number of stitches plus your turning chain. :-)
So many people have so many different names for the same stitch,, that is the "houndstooth" stitch. I dont know why people call it so many names? Ive always known this stitch to be called the houndstooth.
One of the things I love about crochet is that we repurpose stitches and use different names for different variations. I think it’s fun! Although confusing for beginners for sure. There are lots of varieties for the houndstooth as well and it’s usually done in alternating contrast colours. Personally I’ve also seen the Lemon Peel stitch also called the Seed stitch and the Soft Moss stitch.

I made a scarf/hat combo using this stitch for my niece who moved to Colorado before Christmas. She said they were very warm. Very easy to do!
I always end up going back to those crochet hooks, they are the best for me.
Love the stitch AND your nails 💅 are gorgeous 😍
Thank you!
This was the first stitch pattern I learned! I called it Single-Double and never realized it had an actual name - ha!
One of my favorites!
Mine too! I'm taking the summer to update old videos and tutorials. Whew! Some really needed it. lol
With this pattern, you turned the chain to the back. Do you have to start the stitches from the back, or is it something that you like to do?
I love this stitch!
Thank u. U made it simple.
One of my favs!!
Love this stitch
Thank you so much for this
Very helpful, thank you!!!!!

Thank you!
