 Hi everyone my name is Tasha and I'm from Stardust School Crochet. Today's stitch tutorial for Saturday Stitch Explorers is going to be the ladder stitch which is a stitch I've seen around a lot. I really like it. I did a little border. I don't know if I like the border but I just wanted to try it out. So we're going to start off with a multiples of six so grab your hook and your yarn. We're going to make a slip knot and then we're going to chain six and here I changed six three times so I believe I have 18 so there's six and we're going to do six more that would be 12 and then I'm going to do six more for 18. Once you get to your the desired chains you're going to chain one more then you're going to chain six more on top of that and that's all for your foundation. So the first step it's a little it's an easy repeat. We're going to count 13 chains down. The repeats very easy and I think you're going to love this stitch so once you get to the 13th stitch you're going to insert your hook and do a single crochet and after that you chain three and insert your hook into the same space and do another single crochet. This is part of the repeat so then you chain five and then you're going to skip five. In the sixth one you're going to do the repeat again so you do a single crochet a chain three and then a single crochet into the same space single crochet there into the same space and then do another chain five and another skip five. Very easy repeat I love this stitch it's really super easy and I can see you can probably modify it pretty easy. So here we're in the last one what we're going to do in the last one of there is do it an extended single crochet. So it extended is you yarn over and chain through one and then yarn over and pull through both and that's your extended single crochet and then row two repeat so for row two we're going to do a chain seven to start and then we turn so we've got seven there we turn our work we skip the extended single crochet and we skip the chain five and into the chain one space you work a single crochet a chain three and another single crochet all into the same space and here's our repeat starting again where you chain five skip the chain five and skip your current stitch and then work a single crochet chain three and a single crochet into your chain one space between the two single crochets and here we're coming up on the end again so this is just going to be a little different from our regular repeat within the middle of the pattern so here we're going to skip that where we are we're going to go ahead and count five two three four five into the sixth one you're going to work an extended single crochet you can go through both loops or one loop it's totally up to you and then to extended single crochet is just chaining one and then going through both like a normal single crochet so there there's our so what we have so far and you're going to repeat row two and you keep repeating row two until you reach your desired height super easy pattern I hope you guys enjoy it I added this little border you can do what you want I didn't add it to the top though but so let me know what you think about this if you have any questions leave them below give it a like a subscribe and hit the little bell so you can get notified of all my future videos thanks for watching you guys I hope you have a great day happy crocheting
