Clasp Stitch Crochet Pattern

The right side of the clasp stitch has more texture while the wrong side shows gorgeous color changes (I love the little contrasting color dashes). This makes it a great stitch for projects you want to be pretty on both sides.

Being without holes, it’s a great stitch for blankets and dishcloths.
