This cheerful flower stitch will brighten up any crochet project. How about a light Scarf made with Phil Light? Or a lovely summer blanket?
Every month, we feature a stitch that you can use to create tons of fun projects. It’s just a little different from the usual. A little treat from Yarnplaza.com! This time, we’re going with the summery flower stitch, which offers endless possibilities.
Tools & Supplies:
- Phildar Phil Light
- size 5 Crochet Hook
The yarn is nice and soft, woolly, and lightweight. It’s a trendy yarn for knitting and crocheting sweaters, decorative scarves, and fashion accessories. With so many meters per ball and a great price, it’s a fun yarn to buy. Combine the flower stitch with this yarn, and every project will be unique and truly eye-catching!
Of course, you can also use other types of yarn. Here are some great options for a beautiful result:
- Lana Grossa Silkhair: a luxurious yarn containing silk. It gives the stitch an especially beautiful look.
- Katia New York; creates an extra effect with the shimmer of the glitter.
- Lana Grossa Merino Superfine; it gives a completely different, unique look.
