How to Crochet the Knit-Look Garter Stitch - Video Tutorial

I’ve long been a fan of knit-look crochet. I can’t knit a stitch to save my life so I’m always trying to incorporate stitches or stitch patterns into my designs that resemble knit stitch patterns. The Knit-Look Garter Stitch is one that I’ve recently used in a few of my free crochet patterns.

Slip stitching is, by far, my favorite technique in crochet. However, I’ve come to realize that not everyone shares my same enthusiasm. Because of this, I’ve planned a series of blog posts and video tutorials where I’ll share all of my tips and tricks on slip stitch crochet. Follow along with me to learn a few new stitch patterns, the hows and whys of this technique, and lots of great tips and tricks that will turn you into an expert slip stitcher in no time! 😀
