Moss Stitch Crochet Blanket Patterns

Moss stitch crochet blanket patterns alternate single crochet and chain one, working each single crochet into the chain space below. The result is a flat, woven-looking fabric that does not curl and drapes well. Moss stitch is one of the best blanket stitches for beginners because the two-row repeat is simple to memorize.

Why does moss stitch work so well for blankets?

Moss stitch works well for blankets because it is short, flat, and balanced: it doesn't bias or curl like plain single crochet can, and its tiny chain spaces add drape without holes large enough to snag. It also shows stripes beautifully because color changes appear as a speckled line rather than a hard edge.

It is sometimes called linen stitch or granite stitch, though granite stitch technically works into spaces over single crochets in a slightly different arrangement.
