How to Crochet the Interlocking Stitch Photo Tutorial
I love the simplicity and the subtle texture of this Interlocking Stitch crochet pattern and I’m sure you will also!
There are a variety of interlocking crochet stitches out there and this one shares their beauty! Interlocking stitches are wonderful in many different types of projects due to the solid, but not dense fabric that they create. I have seen interlocking crochet stitches used to make beautiful baby blankets and cardigans. And as this stitch pattern is not too dense you can work it in a variety of weights of yarn – even in your super bulky weight!
