Pretty & Simple Crochet Stitches To Try – Free Patterns

Sometimes it’s fun to practice new stitches without committing to a big project. Today, I wanted to share some of my favorite, easy crochet stitch patterns that I’ve used over the last few years.

I often like to make small washcloths with new stitches that I’m learning so I can practice while making something useful.  Many of the stitches listed here work really well for washcloths, so feel free to give that a try!

Let’s get to this! Each of these simple stitches have either a picture tutorial or a video to help you along (just click them to check it out).
