Scales in Crocodile Stitch

Scales in Crocodile Stitch

Crochet Crocodile Stitch (also known as the Dragon Scale Stitch) features a fun, textured look that mimics scales. These scales can be arranged either in an offset layout or stacked in straight rows. Here are a few easy steps for creating a Scale in Crocodile Stitch. 

  • With RS facing, work 12 dc around the dc-posts of the V-st.
