The crochet camel stitch might be one of my favorite textures to incorporate into my hats and scarves. The knit-look stitches are really wonderful for adding a line of texture, as you can see in my Star Sand Hat.
The problem, though, is that I hadn’t found a way to work a hdc through the 3rd loop in rows without creating a ribbed look. This meant that while my hats looked great, I was limited to working in the round to make a matching crochet star stitch cowl, for example.
Cowls are great- and in fact I personally prefer them to scarves, but I know that most men would much prefer a long scarf to a cowl. So it took me a long time- about 2 years- to design the matching scarf for my most popular mens hat: the Silver Beach Beanie.
But now, this gorgeous crochet beanie has a matching hat that truly looks like a perfect match!
Watch the video below to see two techniques for working the crochet camel stitch, or hdc through 3rd loop, in rows.
Let me know in the comments what types of projects you’ll use this technique in.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I didn’t find a video for the camel stitch anywhere on this page?

It’s ok – found it (in a roundabout way) by clicking on “Silver Beach Scarf – featured on Underground Crafter” – just thought I’d try that by chance & found the video there. Tks.
