Crochet Rice Stitch
The Rice Stitch is a simple yet charming crochet pattern that utilizes half-double crochet (hdc) and a few double crochet (dc) variations to create a delightful bumpy texture in your fabric.
This pattern is incredibly beginner-friendly, making it an excellent choice for those who are new to crochet and wish to craft a cozy blanket with a visually appealing texture.
In addition to blankets, the Rice Stitch is well-suited for crafting cardigans, shawls, and various wearables that demand a warm and solid fabric.
