I absolutely love Learning, Creating, and Sharing. Check out my Disclosure for the details. Suzette Stitch| How to Crochet

Moss Stitch is not only a beautiful stitch but it creates a nice solid fabric, perfect for scarves, blankets, washcloths, and more. This stitch has been referred to by many names, such as the Woven stitch, the Linen Stitch, or even the Granite stitch but whatever you refer to it as this is a fun stitch to create. The basic stitches in this pattern are the single crochet and the chain stitch. If you have these stitches down, you can create this lovely pattern with ease.

NOTES
• This pattern uses the single and the chain crochet stitch
• The Moss stitch is created by placing a single crochet stitch in the chain stitch in one row and a chain stitch over a single stitch in the next row.

The Moss Stitch| How to Crochet can be created using any type of yarn and the corresponding crochet hook.

Perfect for berets, sweaters, blankets, and more. It may be helpful to grab a sturdy yarn while learning this stitch but grab your favorite yarn and hook and let’s get started on this lovely.
