I’m so excited to share this blanket sweater with you today for a few reasons! It’s so very easy and I’ve even made some stitch tutorials including a video (gasp!) to help you make it. First, this sweater is the start to a series of blanket sweaters that I plan to share in the coming months!…
How To Crochet An Easy Mesh Stitch
When I made my Mod Mesh Honey Crocheted Blanket Sweater, I wanted to use a very easy mesh pattern. I found the crocheted diamond mesh stitch online, but I was going for something a little different and simple as can be. If anyone knows if there is a name for this particular mesh that I’m sharing…
