If you’re just joining us, in the last stitch tutorial. You learned apache tears crochet stitch 2 days ago, but today you will be learning the crochet arrow stitch. A visually striking and textured stitch creates a pattern resembling arrows pointing in one direction.
This stitch combines basic stitches like single and double crochet, often worked in varying rows or with skipped stitches to form the arrow shape. It is versatile and works well with solid or variegated yarns, enhancing the design’s definition and style.
It’s important to practice the crochet boxed block stitch, especially when tomorrow’s Advent Calendar Mystery CAL pattern is revealed. You’ll either get free-to-view access to the Water Bottle Holder and Plant Holder. If you want BOTH, grab the ebook here to get all 24 patterns with the 12-stitch tutorials instantly.
