If you’re looking for a textured crochet stitch, that’s easy to learn, the Extra Extended Single Crochet Stitch is perfect for you!
It’s almost the same as a extended single crochet, however it has one extra step, that creates the most beautiful texture. That means this stitch has two extra steps compared to the regular single crochet.
You can find this stitch in the Gradvis sweater and the Top Down Nordic Sweater, worked in the round. However for this tutorial you will find the stitch showcased worked in rows.
I’ve also included a way for you to grab the printable version in a bundle, more details about that further down.
