I’m so excited to share this tutorial with you. The Royal Ridge Stitch is a wonderfully decorative double sided crochet texture. Ideal for projects that need a thick, dense fabric such as potholders or dishclothes, or projects like scarves where both sides can be visible.

Could you please explain what is the difference between this stitch and the camel stitch? I don’t see anyone.

Hi Gisele, The royal ridge stitch is reversible as the ‘ridge’ is on both sides of the work. With camel stitch we are always working the ridge on one side of the work only
What stitch would go along with this in terms of stitch height? For example, if I wanted to use this as ribbing on a blanket by stitching 15 in on either side, what would fit for the interior? Thanks!!
Hi Karen If you wanted to work this as a border on a blanket you can use it with any stitch; as you work the border last the height of the stitches used in the blanket shouldn’t affect it
I ❤️ The pattern Royal ridge stitch. Ive found the caron yarn. I cannot find anywhere how many skeins I need to make a twin size blanket. Please help as I wish to buy all the same dye lot. Thank you!! Pat
This would really depend on your hook size and your personal tension 🙂
I love this pattern so much! I used it to make a weighted blanket with an extra chunky yarn and it turned out beautifully. I realized after starting a second blanket that I was accidentally using doubles instead of half-double stitches throughout. Is that going to be a problem? Or can this pattern be done with either? Thanks!
If you’re happy with how the blanket looks with the doubles then I would go ahead and continue – you will just end up with a slightly looser/more drapey texture than if you had used half doubles
Thank you for promoting this beautiful stitch. I love stripy stitches and this one is the perfect replacement for my DC (USA) stripes – less gaps, more texture 🙂
You are very welcome, it’s such a lovely stitch 🙂
