Crochet Moss Stitch

Crochet Moss Stitch is a lovely and versatile stitch pattern that adds wonderful texture to your projects. It creates a beautiful raised and bumpy effect that resembles moss, hence its name. The best part about this stitch is its simplicity — it's perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. Whether you're making scarves, blankets, or even dishcloths, the Moss Stitch adds a touch of charm and coziness. So grab your hook, pick out some yarn, and give this delightful stitch a try — you'll be hooked in no time!

I used a #4 medium weight Sheepjes Stone Washed XL and a 5 mm crochet hook on this one.
