In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the linked block stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet and a double crochet. The linked block stitch is a repeat of two rows. It is an easy stitch that is suitable for crochet beginners. The fabric turns out light.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 100% 8/4 50 g yarn, color: 4950 (linen), and a 2.0 mm hook.
