In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the sultan crochet stitch. For this stitch you should know how to make a double crochet. This stitch is very simple and it is suitable for beginners.
The sultan crochet stitch is a repeat of four rows. The fabric turns out quite light and it would work great for summer crochet projects.
