The bead stitch is a fun textured stitch pattern made with just yarn but no actual beads. This is a great stitch for blankets, rugs, handbags, hats, scarves, or anything where you don’t want an open lace pattern – but are looking for something more than just a plain stitch.
The crochet bullion stitch border is a fun edging for a blanket, shawl, scarf, and more. It is made with a modified bullion stitch done around a chain. It forms a nice shell or scallop border along a crochet or even knit item. It definitely has a 3D puffy look to it, so it adds some interest to blankets and especially scarves.
The crochet wave stitch is a pretty simple stitch pattern. It produces a neat wavy and 3-dimensional (3D) look to the fabric. I like using this stitch pattern in blankets, scarves, shawls, and handbags. It would also make a nice stitch for a garment such as a sweater, cardigan, and more.
Here’s a fun way to crochet a chromatic phone case for your cell. Start with two solid granny squares, turn them, and sew them together. Makes a nice gift!
This chain loop flower is a cute and simple crochet flower. It’s made of chains and double crochet stitches. Looks like a mum or chrysanthemum. It’s a nice fluffy flower that works great as a decoration on a hat, scarf, shawl, bag and more.
The Sweet Simple Tote Bag is both fun and functional. The handbag is made in one continuous piece starting from the base. Two strands of yarn are held together throughout to create a strong bag. Because it’s thick, a lining is not necessary. And it’s made with just single crochet stitches, so there’s no complicated stitch patterns to remember. Stripes along with pompom and tassel bag decorations add a fresh splash of color.
Here’s a really nice and easy shell stitch pattern. It’s good for blankets, scarves, shawls, handbags and more. I find this one is easy to remember. Row 2 is repeated throughout the pattern. So once you learn that one (and it’s just double crochet stitches and single crochets) – the stitch pattern works up very quickly.
