In the world of crochet, there are a few basic stitches that are well worth knowing as you start to create your first projects. Crochet is a beautifully simple art that can be learned quickly and it’s been around as a form of craft for centuries.
The Bavarian stitch is unique to crochet and it’s great for making all kinds of projects, from hats and sweaters to blankets and Afghans. It’s also a very versatile stitch that can be adjusted to make different textures and patterns.
Using Bavarian Stitch
Use this intricate and beautiful stitch to create a textured finish for scarves, blankets and flat items. You simply crochet double stitches in a row, and then alternate the next row with double and single crochet stitches in the same stitch. This results in the Bavarian stitch with its unique look.
It’s easy once you get the hang of it and useful for creating stunning projects and repetitive patterns. You can also vary the size of the stitch and the way that you use it depending on the project
Working with Beginner projects
A good way to begin working with Bavarian Stitch is to invest in a crochet or macrame kit that lets you work on basic skills with a guided tutorial and the materials that you need for an easy first project. This gives you the guidance you need and ensures there’s no waste – which is great if you’re new to the craft and not sure whether it’s for you. You can find a good crochet or macrame kit from a specialist provider such as www.woolcouturecompany.com/collections/macrame-kits.
You can also use Bavarian stitch in the round which creates an intricate pattern and finish that is almost lacy. Why not try it to make crochet squares in different colours that can be stitched later?
Crochet is so versatile that you can try it for a huge variety of projects. It’s fun, quick, easy to do and suitable for kids as well. It also doesn’t require many materials so it’s a great choice for a craft that won’t break the bank!
