Crochet Rice Stitch Tutorial With Video
The Rice Stitch – Pattern Description
The Rice Stitch is a one-row repeat crochet pattern constructed with hdc and a few dc stitch variations that give your fabric a beautiful bumpy texture.
The pattern is easy to remember and only made of relatively easy stitches, so it’s an ideal choice for beginners who’d like to make an uncomplicated cozy blanket that feels and looks great.
Besides blankets, this stitch is also perfect for crocheting cardigans, shawls, and other wearables that require a warm solid fabric.
Scroll down for the step-by-step written and photo instructions. I also made a video tutorial for those of you who are visual learners.
