Chocolate Stitch FREE Crochet Pattern

The question is: do you like chocolate?

I do!

Some years ago a friend from New Zealand gave me a Whittaker’s chocolate bar. I was very happy, immidately tore off the paper wrapper, crumpled it and threw away. And we ate the chocolate (of course). But suddenly I realised, that a New Zealand chocolate is a rare specialty I should treasure, so I took the wrpapper out of the trash can, stretched it, framed it and hang on my kitchen wall!

Since then each time any of my friends or relations visits New Zealand, sends me Whittaker’s chocolate bars. Now I have about 15 chocolate wrappers framed on my kitchen walls!

I also like to crochet, so one day I decided to combine the two and make a… crochet chocolate.

This „chocolate stitch” is just a simple combination of front post double crochet, back post double crochet and single crochet stitches.

It creates a nice texture, that you can use on bigger surface to make dish clothes, hot pads, pillows or even throws! How about a chocolate jumper, too? Just repeat stitch sequence as many times as you need to obtain desired size.

Also, if you need a big, Chunky Chocolate Throw right away, there’s one I designed in a slightly different way, but still with chocolate in mind.

I leave it to you for inspiration, please share anything you make using this chocolate crochet stitch, by tagging me @pukapukapl on Instagram or @pukapukapl on Facebook!

Note: To make the chocolate square I used scraps of sport weight yarn and 3 mm hook. But once you get the idea of the stitch, you can treat it as a base to work with any other yarn you love or suits your idea (and matching hook, of course) for a great crochet project!

Instructions given will allow you to make a 10x10cm/4″x4″ square, which might be just your gauge swatch, but also a nice addition to any granny square project made of same size squares.
