Crochet Silt Stitch Tutorial

The Silt Stitch is wonderful textured crochet stitch. It's a very easy stitch made only with Single Crochets and Double Crochets. These Two stitches combined together creates a lovely textured finish.

Today am sharing the Tutorial for The Silt Stitch . The Silt Stitch is a Two Row repeat pattern. This makes it easy to remember and quick to work up on stitch pattern. I love how the pattern is fairly simple, yet the finished project turns out quite dense. This stitch pattern is great for making potholders and Tablemats.
