I'm sorry. I sent this before finishing my comment. She went from first row of crocodile stitch to the third row. What happened to the second row. Thank you for your help. I would like to finish this.

Thiss tutorial could be better. She keeps moving out of camera shot and doesn't give full instructions. When she goes from first row to start of the crocodile stitch, she doesn't say how many to chain. I'm assuming 3, as she is doing double stitches. I too would like to know if there is a written pattern. Thank you.

This is a great video tutorial on how to crochet the Crocodile Stitch. I have tried to make a hand bag using this stitch and the pattern wasn't right so I pulled it all out. Now that there are some great patterns using this stitch. I love the blanket that uses all crocodile stitches. It will make a nice warm blanket for the winter months. The two row pattern repeat is great and can be made into so many things. I'm thinking a fun headband for the summer. ? Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet stitch tutorial.

The video for the Crocodile stitch is blank. It only shows a black screen without the "Start" button. Is it possible that you can fix this video?
