Chaos Crochet Challenge- Larksfoot Stitch

BySusan Myers on crochet

Welcome to the Chaos Challenge Crochet Along—where the spinning wheel is in charge and anything can happen!

What is a Chaos Blanket? Instead of carefully planning every row, we’ll let chance choose the yarn color, crochet stitch, and number of rows. No overthinking, no second-guessing—just spin the wheel and see where it takes us!

I’m creating my own Chaos Blanket using a special set of rules, and you’re invited to join the fun. Grab your yarn and crochet hook—it’s time to embrace the chaos and create something completely unique!

Are you brave enough to let the wheel decide?

Want to join along?  Gather your supplies and join me on Mondays and Thursdays beginning September 21, 2026.  I will be posting instructions and links to instructional videos for each stitch as we choose them.  Sound like fun? I will be posting each round here on my website, in my Facebook Group, Facebook Page, and on Instagram!  Follow my social media or come back here each week and join in on the fun!

Round Nine

I began round one with a spin of the wheel to choose which of the 50 stitches would be used for round nine.  You can download the free Crochet Stitch list HERE. Chaos Crochet Stitches. I used the Free Spinning Wheel Random Number Generator that I found here to choose which stitch.

The spinning wheel chose number 48.  The stitch I will be using for this round is called the Larksfoot Stitch! This stitch looks best with 2 colors, so I closed my eyes and chose the colors from my bowl of yarn colors…It is now decided!  Round nine will be in Teal and Ivory, the stitch will be the Larksfoot Stitch and I rolled dice for the number of rows and it will be 8 rows!  Let’s get started!

Adjustment Row

Before we begin round eight, we need to make an adjustment row from the previous round.  I used the Teal yarn to create a row of single crochets.  Also be sure to count your stitches during this row to be sure that you still have your original amount of stitches.

Larksfoot Stitch

Well, I just found my new favorite stitch!  The Larksfoot stitch works up quickly and has a great look.  At least for me, it does work up a bit looser, so going down to a G hook was the plan.  We are trying to keep the edges as even as we can and sometimes it helps to raise or lower the size of your hook depending upon the stitch. In this instance, I went down a hook size at a size (G) in order to keep my blanket edges as even as possible.  Keep in mind that everyone’s tension is different, so play with it and see what works best for you!

Step-by-Step Instructions for the Larksfoot Stitch
If you prefer video, I was able to find this one:
Row 1: Chain 4, dc in the 4th chain from hook, dc in the next chain, *chain 1, skip 1, work 3 dc in the next 3 stitches.  Repeat from *across.  Chain 3 and turn.
Row 2: Work double crochets over the double crochets in the previous row, chain 1 over the chain spaces from the previous row.
Row 3: Change colors.  Chain 4 and turn.  *Skip 1 space and dc in the second dc stitch from the row below. Dc into the gap in the very first row below and pull enough yarn up to the top of the second row, complete your dc.  Dc into next stitch on row 3. Repeat from *across.  Finish with a space, and one last dc.  Chain 4 and turn.
Row 4: Work double crochets over the double crochets in the previous row, chain 1 over the chain spaces from the previous row.
Rows 5-8: Repeat rows 3 and 4.

Larksfoot Stitch

I enjoyed creating the Larksfoot Stitch.  In fact, it is my favorite so far.  It makes a great statement, is simple to create and goes together quickly.  This stitch would make a great scarf!

Be sure to come back on Thursday, October 22 for Round 10!
