How to Crochet the Perfect Stitch Photo Tutorial
The Perfect Stitch is a wonderful crochet stitch that would work wonderfully in a variety of crochet projects.
The Perfect Stitch crochet pattern creates a solid fabric with a continuous texture throughout. The majority of the texture is to the front side, but the back side of the fabric is still quite pretty. This means that I wouldn’t rule it out for your double sided crochet projects.
