How To Crochet Bean Stitch

Materials Needed:

Weight 4 medium-weight yarn (e.g., Signet yarn as used in the video)
5mm crochet hook

Instructions:

Foundation Chain:

Create a foundation chain with an even number of chains to start your project. For this tutorial, an example of 14 chains is used.

Row 1 (Foundation Row):

Skip the first chain from the hook.
Create one single crochet stitch in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across.

Row 2 (Setup Row):

Chain one (this does not count as a stitch).
Turn your work.
Insert the hook into the first stitch and work one single crochet.

Begin Pattern Repeat:

Skip one stitch.
In the next stitch, start the first Bean Stitch.
Insert the hook, pull up a loop (there will now be 2 loops on the hook).
Yarn over, insert the hook into the same stitch, pull up another loop (4 loops on the hook).
Repeat once more for a total of 6 loops on the hook.
Yarn over, pull through all six loops.
Chain one to secure the Bean Stitch.

Continue Pattern Repeat:

Skip one stitch and in the next, work another Bean Stitch followed by a chain one.
Continue this pattern (skip one stitch, bean stitch in the next, chain one) across the row.
End the row with a single crochet in the final stitch.

Subsequent Rows:

Chain one and turn your work after each row.
Place a single crochet in the first stitch.
Work the Bean Stitch in the space (triangle) between the previous Bean Stitches to create a staggered effect.
Continue the pattern across.
Finish each row with a single crochet in the last stitch.
