The honeycomb stitch

In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the honeycomb stitch. The honeycomb crochet stitch looks different on each side and both sides are beautiful. The stitch requires a bit more yarn comparing to other stitches and the fabric turns out a bit thicker. The honeycomb crochet stitch might require a bit more effort to make, but the final result is definitely worth it! 🙂
