Cabbage Patch Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial

In today’s tutorial, I will be showing you how to make the Cabbage Patch Stitch. The name of this stitch is what intrigued me to try it and I am so glad I did.
This stitch is made up of a 2-row repeat. One row of crossed double crochets and then a row of shells stitches. It works up quickly once you get the stitch pattern memorized.
This unique crochet stitch would make a really lovely blanket, scarf, or wrap. Its very versatile and looks good in stripes that change color each row or every 2 rows.
