Learn how to crochet the Rope crochet stitchYears and Years ago, when I was around the age of 12, I made myself a blanket that turned into one of my favorites. One of the reasons I loved it so much was because it used this stitch that reminded me of a twisted rope. It was fun to crochet a little texture on a blanket that mostly used a V stitch. I don't remember if the pattern gave this stitch a name (I don't think it did) and I honestly haven't seen this stitch used much since then but it left a lasting impression on my crochet mind. 30+ years later, as I was trying to de-clutter our home, I found that well used blanket stashed away in a safe and I knew it was time to crochet with this stich once more. I remember being slightly confused at first when trying to crochet this stitch because back then, patterns I had were only written instructions. When I decided to use it for my own design, I knew it would be a great time to do a video tutorial for those who learn better from videos than photos. This stitch is used in my Ropes & Wheels Blanket crochet pattern which can be purchased HERE. Now for the fun part! Grab your crochet hook and some yarn, work up a few rows of basic stitches such as single, half double or double crochet to about 12" wide to give you a base to practice the Rope Stich with. **This post contains affiliate links through which I may earn a small commission for purchases made at no extra cost to you** This stich may be used in many different patterns, so please be sure to watch your stitch count within the pattern you're working for best results.
