How to Crochet Alpine Stitch

You can use any yarn you want to make this stitch.

Alpine stitch uses slipknot and multiple of 2 +1 chain stitches to start. First row is single crochets, to give a nice basis for the project. Then you will proceed with double crochet stitches, as well as variations on it. The main part is using post stitches – front post double crochet, to be exact.

This is the most common way to make this stitch, but there are versions in which crocheters use front post treble crochet.
