Most of us crocheting as some form of relaxation, so if you want to learn a new stitch but also want to have a chill time, the Moss Crochet Stitch is perfect for you.
By just using two stitches – single crochet stitch and chain stitch – you can learn a new stitch. Yes, this stitch only uses the two most basic crochet stitches. You won’t even have any trouble figuring out where to insert your stitches since you’ll be working on chain spaces.
To make a project using this stitch, all you have to do is repeat just one row! Imagine having to memorize only one row, repeating it over, and achieving a gorgeous texture in no time. In fact, it looks more complicated than it actually is.
