In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the pebble stitch. The pebble crochet stitch consists of single crochets and puff stitches and it is a repeat of four rows. This stitch has a very pronounced texture and it is quite thick, so it uses quite some yarn. I hope that you will give it a try!
For this tutorial I use Järbo 8/4 100% Cotton Mercerized & Gassed 50 g yarn, color: 32018 (linen), and a 2.0 mm hook.
