In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the aligned sprout crochet stitch. For this stitch you should know how to make a double crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a double crochet two together and a double crochet four together. The aligned sprout crochet stitch is a repeat of two rows. The fabric turns out quite light and it has a beautiful texture.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: sand, and a 2.0 mm hook.
