One of my favorite crochet stitches that I just discovered is the Even Moss Stitch. It's so simple, yet the end result is so beautiful. I'm planning on using this crochet stitch to make a crochet clutch that will be posted on my YouTube channel in a few days. In the meantime, if you're a newbie, practice making the Even Moss Stitch. Free pattern listed below. If you would like to follow along with me, please watch my video tutorial.

Yarn: 

Caron One Pound in Off White

Hook: 5mm

Terms:

ch - chain

sl st - slip stitch

hdc - half double crochet

NOTE: You will always start a row and end a row with a sl st.

You want to chain in even numbers. In this sample size, I did a ch of 16.

Row 1: sl st in the 2nd ch from the hook, then hdc in the next st. Continue to alternate between sl st and hdc. Continue to the end of the row.

Row 2: ch 1, sl st in the 2nd st, then hdc in the next st. Continue to alternate between sl st and hdc. Continue to the end of the row. 

**Continue to repeat row 2 until you're desired length for your project. 

Enjoy!

Crochet Puff Flower

Hey everyone!

I'm preparing to create a crochet clutch in the upcoming week. It's only February, but I'm already preparing for spring! This is definitely something you'll want to carry with you when the warm, sunny weather hits. It's going to feature beautiful crochet puff flowers, and the body of the clutch will be done in the even moss stitch (I will have a post for that soon). In this post I'll provide the crochet puff flower pattern. I also have a video tutorial on my YouTube channel for those who would prefer to make these flowers right along with me.
