Keep reading to learn how to crochet the woodland stitch. This crochet stitch pattern might be known under other names. However like many of my other favorite stitches, I don’t remember where I first came across it. The Woodland stitch gives a lovely texture & quite a “romantic” & traditional crochet look. It is a fan stitch & it is quite easy.
If you have bought one of my crochet patterns, you might wonder how it is done. The pattern always offers written text in addition to charts, but now I will give you a lot of additional explanations. In addition there is a video of how to crochet this stitch on the bottom.
Today I suggest that you learn the stitch & then you should use it in a project! You can make you own project, but on the bottom of this post I have also included all crochet patterns that are using the woodland stitch.
