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