In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the granny stripe stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a double crochet. The granny stripe stitch is a repeat of two rows. It is very easy to make and it is suitable for beginners. The granny stripe stitch works great with multiple colors.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, colors: eucalyptus, navy blue, sand; and a 2.0 mm hook.
