Hello and welcome to week two of the Spring Blossom Throw Crochet Along! This week we will create a crochet afghan square using the beautiful blossom stitch!

The crochet blossom stitch is a favourite of mine.  After first learning this stitch, I promptly shared it with you as a free video tutorial on my YouTube Channel here: Blossom Stitch Crochet Video Tutorial.

It is another pretty stitch that is light weight and quick to work.  While it does have an airy feel to the stitch pattern, it is not a lace stitch with large holes or gaps.

The stitch pattern is made up of double crochet, single crochet and chain stitches.  It is a two row repeat which makes it easier to memorize.
