Learn how to crochet the waistcoat stitch with this photo and video tutorial. The waistcoat stitch is meant to be worked on one side only of your fabric.

This makes it a perfect stitch for working in rounds and spirals – the finished fabric is dense and sturdy and lasts a long time. This is sometimes abbreviated as Wst or W st.
