How to crochet the Crochet Apron Pattern
The main part of the crochet striped apron is worked back and forth in rows with back loop single crochet stitches and front loop treble crochet stitches, so you have to know how to crochet in the front loop only and in the back loop only.
While crocheting the main part you will create holes in the crocheted fabric, so you can thread the ties into while finishing.
The tie is made working back and forth in rows until desired length.
The best thing about this crochet apron pattern is the fact that there’s no sewing, as long as you don’t want to get creative and add some large pockets in the front for a more vintage look.

Stitches You Will Need
Back Loop Single Crochet (BLsc)
Crochet single crochet stitches in the back loop instead of the whole stitch.
Crab Stitch (crab st / rev-sc)
In this crochet pattern you will need to use the reverse single crochet or crab stitch. It is the same steps as the regular single crochet, however worked in the opposite direction. This creates a really lovely decorative edge.
Insert hook into stitch before current stitch (working backward across the round), pull up a loop, yarn over (yo), pull through both loops.
Techniques You Will Need
Changing Color With Different Color On Different Rows
When working with different colors on different rows, you’ll never finish the last stitch on the last row/round with one color, with the color you where working with.
Do all the steps of the stitch, then leave the last step unworked. Yarn over with the color for the next st & pull yarn through.
Repeat this for every row/round you change colors to make the color changes look beautiful.
