Hey Crocheters! Nadia here, the creator of New Mom Spirit!

Let’s get started!

  • Darning Needle

Camel Stitch Pattern

Foundation Row:

Make an even-numbered chain (e.g., 20, 24, 28, etc.).

Row 1:

  1. Htr in 2nd ch from hook and across. Turn.

Row 2:

  1. Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch).

  2. Htr in the third loop (behind the back loop).

  3. Repeat across. Turn.

Repeat Row 2 for the desired length.

 

 

Tips for Success

✅ Find the third loop! It’s behind the back loop, giving the ribbed effect.
✅ Use soft yarn to enhance the cozy texture.
✅ Work loosely to make finding the third loop easier.
