Where can the spike crochet stitch be used?

It’s a great way to add texture and dimension to your projects. I use it when I need a single crochet but want something more interesting.

Abbreviations, stitch knowledge:

Sc – single crochet

Sl st – slip stitch

St(es) – stitch(es)

1. Chain even number of stitches. Sl st to form a circle of chains
2. sc around. You can either sl st to join round and ch1 or continue in spiral way without joining rounds. PM at the beginning of the round for easy round counting.
3. 1 sc, 1 spike st (insert hook into the stitch 1 row below and work as single crochet). Continue working till desired length of your item alternating 1 sc and 1 spike st.

If you started your round with sc , the next round should start with spike st. Continue to alternate the stitches from row to row.
