In this step-by-step tutorial I show how to make the bean crochet stitch. It looks very cute and it is easy to make. This stitch is a repeat of one row and looks the same on both sides. The fabric turns out quite thick and this stitch uses quite some yarn.
In this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: curry, and a 2.0 mm hook.
