Crochet

extended single crochet

Description

A crochet stitch that modifies the standard single crochet to be slightly taller and have better drape by incorporating an extra step.

Detailed explanation

The extended single crochet (esc) creates a fabric that is less dense and stiff than standard single crochet. By adding a chain-like step at the base, the stitch gains height, sitting comfortably between a single crochet and a half double crochet. This variation is excellent for garments or accessories where you want a bit more flexibility without creating large holes.
