The Modern Granny Stitch – Easy Step By Step Photo & Video Tutorial
The modern granny stitch pattern is beginner-friendly, using only basic stitches. It is double-sided, meaning it looks good on both sides which makes it perfect for a large variety of projects.
It has a lacy look and the finished projects will be light and delicate, use it with one or multiple colors, it looks beautiful either way.
In this tutorial, I will show you step by step how to create the granny stitch pattern with detailed photos and explanations and a video for those who find it easier to learn by watching how is it done.
