This whimsical, textured spring crochet stitch is my latest obsession because of its drape and versatility. It can be used on anything from textured bookmarks, sweaters, light cardigans to shawls or anything!

Materials

For this tutorial, you will need DK/8ply or Worsted/10ply yarn and a 5mm hook. I used We Crochet Dishie in the colour Blush. It’s a soft, hardwearing cotton yarn that can really be used for anything! If you have a tight tension, you may want to use a larger hook as it is better for the stitch to be loose than too tight.
