Harlequin stitch has always been interesting to me, and I’ve always wanted to try it. When looking around where to start, I’ve found fantastic tutorial by Brittany from Just Be Crafty. Not only is this stitch colorful and cheerful, but also very versatile. Beginners, don’t fret – it’s quite easy, too!
endless possibilities!
This lovely stitch is most often used for baby blankets, but you can conjure up whatever comes to your mind. Throws, wall hangings, even capes or mitts – it all can be done using harlequin stitch. Choose the color palette you will love and try it today!
Materials:
Brittany used Big Twist Value yarn, which is aran weight yarn. She chose lovely colors: Light Rose, Light Teal and Gold. She also used 5.0 mm crochet hook, as well as scissors and yarn needle.
To make this stitch, you will use a configuration of chains, single crochet and double crochet stitches, as well as increase and decrease. These are basic techniques, which should be a starting point for anyone interested in learning crochet.
