Camel Stitch Pattern
Foundation Row:
Make an even-numbered chain (e.g., 20, 24, 28, etc.).
Row 1:
-
Htr in 2nd ch from hook and across. Turn.
Row 2:
-
Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch).
-
Htr in the third loop (behind the back loop).
-
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.
