Every crocheter knows that at the core of any beautiful design is truly beautiful stitch. There are so many Marvelous Crochet Stitches available online, that you wouldn’t have enough time to try them all. It’s good to have them in your library, though. When it comes to creating your own crochet design – whether it’s a blanket, bag or anything else – first thing you need to decide on is the kind of stitch you want to use. Some of them are very decorative and structural, they create volume, 3D elements or fun knotty textures. Other are more subtle and delicate, but you can make them more fun by introducing colors. Their final look depends on much more than just colors, because the gauge makes a big difference as well. Try different options before deciding on one combination for the best results. Experiment, create and have fun! Take a look at our selection of The Best of Crochet Baby Blankets. Links to free patterns are under the pictures.Â
