The Candy Stripes Stitch crochet pattern is a fun crochet stitch that really stands out when it is worked in multiple colours!
Today, I have decided to work the stitch pattern in a simple two-colour stripe pattern. Overall, the pattern is a simple two-row repeat; however, as I have worked it in the two colours, working two rows in each, it is written as a four-row repeat.
This stitch is similar on both sides, making it a great stitch pattern for those double-sided projects. The resulting fabric is solid with a subtle texture. It’s one that you’re going to love.
The Materials:
For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in two colours labelled A and B. It is a blended worsted-weight yarn. I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.
