Hello Week #9 of Crochet Vintage
HOW did you go with crocheting last week's PENTAGON crochet stitch ?Did you enjoy yourself?
Did you have fun with Week #8 ?
I sure do hope you had fun changing colours and playing with the stitch pattern, it is a fun and easy stitch which could easily be used anywhere an open work stitch pattern is needed.
This week #9
I have another amazing and interesting crochet stitch for you, from my vintage 1970's stitch collection. We are going to tackle a SIDEWAYS crochet stitch pattern. It is really very simple and once again you can change colour in every row if you wish.I will show you how to crochet a swatch with the basic stitches and ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS REMEMBER to have some fun whilst crocheting this stitch.
I suggest you start with one (1) colour and then have a play with some colour changing, every row if you wish, and watch how the stitches stand out and create a lovely pattern.
REMEMBER you are the creator use whatever yarn or thread you have, and enjoy the process.
Are you ready to join me? Let's play and have some Crochet Vintage fun!
