How to Crochet the Gravel Stitch Photo Tutorial
The Gravel Stitch features a raised texture that resembles little aligned blocks that would look wonderful in a blanket or cardigan.
Perhaps a wash cloth, or tea towel! There are so many uses for this crochet stitch pattern. I love the Gravel stitch as it is fairly thick with it’s raised stitches, but it is not dense and has beautiful drape.
