Gondola Crochet Stitch | Crochet with Aabhar
Gondola crochet stitch is a beautifully textured stitch where each motif looks like a hanging cable cars or maybe an apple! Ultimately, it’s all about your imagination. Enclosed in a trellis diamond shape, each motif is made with a variety of stitches.
It is a slightly dense, yet openwork crochet pattern that is easy to learn, repeating over 3 rows.
