You’ll love the thick texture of this 3D Twisted Granny Stitch that you can use in crochet blankets, hats and more!
And this stitch is not as hard as it looks!
The 3D Twisted Granny Stitch crochet pattern is contrasted similarly to the alpine stitch with its long front post double crochet stitches worked around the stitch two rows below.
To create the wide fan-like shape, you will work 3 front post double crochet stitches around the stitch two rows below. These stitches are staggered between one another. It’s so pretty!

If you are looking for a project to work with this stitch, I would consider the 3D Twisted Granny Stitch for blankets, bags, perhaps a little detail in a sweater and more!
The Materials:
For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in a single colour. It is a medium/worsted weight yarn that is a wool blend. Along with my worsted weight yarn, I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.
