Crochet 3D Marshmallow Stitch Tutorial + Video
The Marshmallow Stitch – Pattern Description
The Marshmallow Stitch is the pattern to try if you want to give your work a beautiful 3D texture.
Its 3D effect and unique look can be intimidating, but it’s honestly not complicated. The pattern is mainly made up of double crochet variations and clusters, and the construction is relatively easy.
This adorable pattern works great for blankets and wearables that need a thick and fun fabric. It looks good in a single color and stunning in multiple colors.
