In this tutorial I show how to make the feather stitch working in rows. This stitch is not so complicated, you just have to repeat one row. It is reversible and it looks the same on both sides. The feather crochet stitch is great for scarfs and blankets.
For this tutorial you should know how to make a chain and a half double crochet.
