THE DESIGN “Three stitch patterns using only single crochet.” One simple little stitch—single crochet—can look so very different with just a few minor tweaks. The different texture s come from the way the hook is inserted into the stitch in the row below—we'll show you how! Three little must-have accessories explore this phenomenon. Make one pair. Or make all three! TUTORIALS IN THIS PATTERN: Three stitch patterns using only single crochet. Slip stitch seaming. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Chain stitch, single crochet, slip stitch, and keeping row edges straight. Need help with any of these techniques? See our Learn-To-Crochet Companion booklet.
