Why You’ll Love the Silt Stitch
The silt stitch creates a rich, textured fabric that is almost too easy to crochet. Ideal for those days when your brain needs a rest, or when you just want to sit back and watch your favourite show while doing a little hooky. The stitch is perfect for all sorts of projects from garments to homewares.
What You’ll Need
For this tutorial, I used Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran with a 5.5 mm hook. You can use any yarn you like – just select the recommended hook size for your chosen yarn.

Helpful Tip
The silt stitch is easy to keep consistent because each single crochet stacks on a single crochet and each double crochet stacks on a double crochet from the row below. This makes it simple to maintain the pattern as you work.
