It produces a solid and dense fabric with a typical knit-looking texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only difference with a regular single crochet is where you make the stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a regular single crochet is worked into the top two loops of a stitch, the waistcoat stitch is crocheted into the <strong>center of each post<\/strong>. For this reason, it is also called <em>center post stitch<\/em> or <em>center single crochet<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The knit stitch is ideal for all those projects where you&#8217;re looking for sturdiness and a dense\/no-holes fabric.

This makes it extra easy to find the right spot in which to insert your hook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, instead of inserting your hook into the top two loops of a sc stitch, you will need to insert your hook in between the two <strong>V-shaped legs of the post<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In picture 1 below, I drew two black marks on the V&#8217;s of the post of a sc. In picture 2, I inserted my green cable needle in the spot where you need to insert your hook to make the knit stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you find the space in the center of the post, all you need to do is to crochet a regular sc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/raffamusadesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Crochet_Waistcoat_Knit_Stitch_Tutorial_in_the_Round_RaffamusaDesigns.jpg\" alt=\"How to Crochet the Waistcoat Stitch or Knit Stitch - In the Round - Free Tutorial - Raffamusa Designs\" class=\"wp-image-4782\" width=\"450\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raffamusadesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Crochet_Waistcoat_Knit_Stitch_Tutorial_in_the_Round_RaffamusaDesigns.jpg 600w, https:\/\/raffamusadesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Crochet_Waistcoat_Knit_Stitch_Tutorial_in_the_Round_RaffamusaDesigns-257x300.jpg 257w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice that after a few rounds of knit stitch (<em>see photo 3<\/em>), the V&#8217;s of your stitches will be nicely stacked on top of each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will not be the case when you crochet the waistcoat or knit stitch in rows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Crochet Waistcoat or Knit Stitch \u2013 Flat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we will see how to crochet the knit stitch flat.
