Blanket Crochet Stitch - learn

It is a reversible stitch, so you can use either side of the fabric, and it also creates very straight, defined edges. Because of its structure, it works especially well for blankets, scarves, shawls, and other garments or accessories where you want a simple texture with a subtle amount of relief.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to crochet the Blanket Stitch step by step so you can easily incorporate it into your own projects.
