To teach the Siberian Stitch, let's make a basic potholder. You've
probably seen hundreds of crocheted potholders similar to the one on
the right.

This pattern will show you how to do something similar in one pass,
making the double-thick layer without having to go through any of the
mental gyrations of the "diagonal design" of the usual style.
If you look closely at a basic chain stitch, you'll notice there are three
strands of yarn. The Siberian Stitch takes advantage of all three
strands to weave one row into the two previous rows. This makes it
tighter, keeping out the wind and giving better insulation value.

Siberian Potholder
Hook size: G
Worsted weight yarn, approx 2 oz.
Siberian difficulty rating: 1
Foundation:
Chain 26.
Sc second chain from hook - FRONT LOOP ONLY - 25 sts. Chain 1,
turn.
Row 1: Insert hook through the front loop of your chain row, through
the front loop of your sc row. Yo, draw through both loops, yo,
complete stitch. THAT is a Siberian crochet (called sbc hereafter).
25 sts. Chain 1, turn.
Rows 2 - 36: Sbc 25 sts. Chain 1, turn.
Row 37: (The finishing row): When inserting your hook into the
