In this step-by-step tutorial I show how to make the iris crochet stitch. It is a beautiful and easy beginner friendly stitch. It is a repeat of one row. This stitch is reversible and it looks the same on both sides.
For this tutorial I use Järbo 8/4 100% Cotton Mercerized & Gassed 50 g yarn, color: 32018 (linen).
