In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the harvest crochet stitch. For this stitch you should know how to make a single crochet, a double crochet and how to make a puff stitch (see detailed photo instructions below showing how to make it). The harvest crochet stitch is a repeat of one row and it is quite easy to make. It is reversible and it looks the same on both sides.
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.
