Today, I'm posting 2 videos! I wish I could have a consistent schedule for when I post videos and or blog posts. Unfortunately, my schedule is crazy and I try to squeeze what I can between work and being mom!
So, this next stitch pattern is the Crochet Granny Stitch. This stitch is a classic stitch that has been around for as long as anyone can remember... If I'm being honest, I did not like this stitch when I first started crocheting. It eventually grew on me and I love the versatility of this stitch. There's a lot of possibility and they're great for using up scrap yarn. Make enough from scrap, you can stitch them together for a one of a kind colorful Afghan!
For this tutorial, I used Darn Good Yarn's beautiful Super Bulky Silk Yarn in the color Mermaid Splish Splash.
