Also called the Waistcoat Stitch or Split Single Crochet, the Center Single Crochet is a simple stitch which creates a texture that looks knit.

Welcome Susie!
This already has a name. It’s called the waistcoat stitch
What is really important though, is that tight crocheters (as I am) should make a serious effort to make looser stitches otherwise this will be a pain.
