The Suzette stitch is a hole free stitch that creates the look of interlocking wedges. This stitch is ideally used with at least 2 different colours of yarn to really make the pattern stand out. In this stitch guide I will show you how to crochet the Suzette stitch with all the pictures that you need along with a video guide that you can follow along with too.

I first used the Suzette stitch in the FrankenScrap crochet along as one of the pieces of the quilt like blanket. You can access the whole pattern for free here.

The Suzette stitch is simple to make as it only uses single and double crochet stitches, and is a one repeating pattern. The wedge texture it creates is really subtle but very pretty and it is a hole free stitch that makes a warm but not overly thick fabric. Ideally this stitch needs at least 2 colours to really make the wedged look stand out, but even if only a single colour is used it still looks quite pretty.

The Suzette stitch can be used for a variety of projects. The hole free fabric suits clothing items like cardigans and sweaters but it would also suit blankets, scarves and other accessories for the cooler months too.

For the sample in the picture below I used Mayflower DK Cotton, which is a multicolour yarn and 100% non mercerised cotton which means its soft but more prone to splitting than mercerised cotton. It is lovely to work with and the colour changes and the variety of colours in a single yarn create a wonderful look to complement the subtle texture of the Suzette stitch.

The yarn I used in the pictures of this stitch guide below is Stylecraft Cotton Classique DK, a 100% cotton yarn. It’s a non mercerised cotton that is lovely and soft, but it can get a bit splitty if you frog it a couple of times. It does makes lovely cosy blankets though and is the yarn that got me hooked on cotton as my fibre of choice. I think I first got a ball of this yarn in a mystery bag I got off ebay, and it was a great yarn discovery for me and I’ve been loving using this yarn ever since.

I also used my trusty Clover Amour hooks which are perfect if you are looking for a good value ergonomic crochet hook that won’t cause your hand to ache if you are crocheting for long periods of time. I’ve tried many different crochet hooks over the years, but I always end up coming back to my trusty Clovers. They just sit so well in my hand and never let me down.
