Linked Crochet Stitches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Linked stitches create a\nrow without open spaces between the stitches, the stitches stand together and\nare interlinked with one another. It creates a distinctive line across the\nright side of the row and a uniquely textured wrong side of the row. This is a\ncreate way to create a solid fabric even with tall stitches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have experience\nwith Tunisian crochet you may see some similarities. As with Tunisian Simple\nStitch, you insert the hook and pull up a loop, and then work them back off to\none loop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
