In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the little combs stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet and a half double crochet. The little combs stitch is a repeat of two rows and it is suitable for beginners. The fabric turns out dense but not very thick and it has a nice texture.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: eucalyptus, and a 2.0 mm hook.
