Floret Stitch

I’m ALL about stitches with texture. There’s just something so wonderfully tactile about running your fingers over a stitch with some oomph. The Floret Stitch is a quick and easy way to add a beautiful texture, but without being too complicated. So, it’s suitable for all skill levels!

So, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, you can use this stitch to add some terrific texture to your work. Ready to get learning?

Your skills are about to bloom like a…cauli-flower (Sorry, not sorry for the TERRIBLE pun!)

A CELEBRATION OF TEXTURE

I absolutely ADORE stitches that add texture. While I love colour, texture will always have my heart. There’s just something deliciously cosy about that soft squish you get when touching a textured piece of crochet.

Here are some of my absolute favourite textured stitches, but if none of these tickle your fancy why not browse the whole collection here: textured crochet stitches.
