In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the aligned four leaf clover 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 tutorial below shows how to make a double crochet two together and a double crochet three together stitch. The aligned four leaf clover stitch is a repeat of four rows. The fabric has a very nice texture.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 100% 8/4 50 g yarn, color: 4950 (linen), and a 2.0 mm hook.
