In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the broken stripes stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet. The broken stripes stitch is a repeat of one row. It is a beautiful multicolor crochet stitch suitable for crochet beginners. You can use two or as many colors as you wish, just change the yarn color after every row. The fabric turns out light.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, colors: eucalyptus, curry and dusty pink, and a 2.0 mm hook.
