Whether you have a pattern that requires a tight crochet stitch without holes or you just love the unique look of it, the linked single crochet is a great stitch to learn.
Looking for a crochet stitch that’s thick, warm, and totally gap-free? Meet your new favorite technique: the linked single crochet.
This unique stitch is perfect when you need a dense, solid fabric—think cozy hats, snug sweaters, or ultra-warm blankets. Unlike the standard single crochet, the linked single crochet connects each stitch to the next, eliminating holes and giving your work a clean, polished finish.
Whether you’re tired of the same old stitches or you’re following a pattern that calls for a tighter weave, the linked single crochet offers a fresh look and superior functionality. Best of all? It’s incredibly easy to learn, even if you’re still building your crochet skills.

1. First, make a chain of any number. Now turn your work.
2. In the second chain from the hook, crochet 1 single crochet. Look at the left loop that my left thumb is pointing at.
