Crochet Ridge Stitch Tutorial
I am excited to share this stitch pattern I named the crochet ridge stitch!
I came upon the ridge stitch accidentally by messing up another pattern I was trying to figure out! So it’s a win-win!
Great Crochet Stitch to Try
See, it’s proof that good things can come from making some mistakes!
I wasn’t sure what to call this, but ridge seemed to stick in my head when looking at the pattern, so I just went with it! So, introducing the Ridge Stitch in Crochet!
This stitch would be great for an intermediate level crocheter, or higher, but if you are just starting out, give it a shot anyway! You never know!
I can’t wait for you to try this fun crochet stitch!
Happy Crocheting!
