The Bead Stitch (Crochet Tutorial + Video)
The Bead Stitch – Pattern Description
The Bead Stitch is crocheted like a puff stitch but sideways around the post of the previous double crochet stitch. This gives it a bumpy texture that looks great on baby blankets, modern afghans and crocheted garments.
It can be used as an accent stitch as I did on the Rainbow Unicorn Baby Blanket or Maria The Unicorn Lovey, or you can make your entire project with it, either way, it will look unique and beautiful.
