Crochet with Aabhar – Alpine Crochet Stitch
Alpine Crochet Stitch is a beginner-friendly, visually pleasing stitch with a lovely texture woven into the fabric.
Front post stitches create the twisted points of the Alpine stitch. It is a 4-row pattern repeat that alternates between rows of double crochet and post stitches followed by a row of single crochet stitches. Unlike the regular crochet stitches that go through the top of the previous stitches, front post stitches go around the previous ones. Even though it uses front post stitches, this crochet pattern is perfect for beginners with basic crocheting knowledge. What makes it unique from other post stitches crochet patterns is that these stitches are made two rows below the current row. Alpine Stitch is an excellent choice to advance your crochet skills if you’ve mastered single and double crochet.
Alpine Crochet Stitch is quite versatile when it comes to projects. If you work with a tighter tension, the fabric will be much stiffer and robust enough to make market bags and pillows. Overall, the Alpine Crochet Stitch creates a pretty, textured fabric. It is also an excellent design for heavy blankets and other cozy accessories. You can use any yarn weight with a corresponding hook for this stitch, as it looks great with almost all kinds of yarn.
