How to Crochet Feather Stitch, {only 1 row repeat}.

Get to learn the feather stitch using this simple step by step instructions.

If you love to challenge your crochet skills every know and then, learning new stitches should be fun. I personally enjoy exploring different techniques, learning new stitches and designing fun patterns.

The crochet feather stitch is such a textured and dense stitch. It works excellently in crochet blankets, pot holders, washcloths, sweaters and cardigans.

The feather stitch gives such a squishy and warm fabric, you’ll definitely fall in love from the first row. It requires intermediate crochet skills or an adventurous beginner. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
