Long Stalks Placemat

The Long Stalks Placemat crochet pattern uses a crochet stitch I designed recently. It is called the triple crochet box stitch.

The Triple Crochet Box Stitch can be called the Triple Crochet X Stitch or the Triple Crochet Crossover Stitch. The design is a take of the Double Crochet X Stitch, it just uses triple crochet instead.

Triple Crochet Box Stitch or Triple Crochet X Stitch

Triple Crochet Box Stitch can be found on my YouTube Channel.

Boxy Bulky Cowl

I originally created the Triple Crochet Box Stitch for the Boxy Bulky Cowl. I wanted a longer stitch because I was using a #6 ply Bulky Yarn. I wanted to give the cowl a nice textured stitch that would create a drape to the cowl.

Most cowls are designed for a tighter stitch because most of them are worn to keep the chill out. Since I was using a bulkier yarn, I wanted something that wouldn’t cause the wearer to get too hot.

If you would like to try the Triple Crochet Boxy Stitch with a heavier yarn, like Paintbox Yarns Simply Super Chunky, you can find the premium crochet patterns at my Ravelry Store or LoveCrafts or at my Etsy Shop.

Boxy Bulky Cowl Crochet Pattern

The Boxy Bulky Cowl Crochet Pattern uses a thicker yarn, 6 ply bulky yarn to create a nice thick, heavy cowl to keep you warm during those chilly times of year. It uses a stitch I designed just for this cowl, the triple crochet box stitch. The stitch I designed creates a nice long stitch to create a beautiful texture.
