How to Crochet the Bridge Stitch Tutorial
When I first made this stitch, I had no idea what to call it. I liked it, but I just couldn’t see a resemblance in it. I decided to post a picture of it in my facebook account, and almost immediately people started commenting about what it looked like! I got an overwhelming amount of responses of two different things. A lot of people either said it looked like a bridge or like roman numerals.
I settled on the Bridge Stitch, because it sounds a bit better.
