Learn how to crochet the elegant Crochet Wheat Stitch with this free step-by-step photo tutorial by Made by Gootie. This beautifully textured stitch creates a soft, “wheat-like” look and was first featured in her Waves of Grain C2C Blanket pattern, released in June 2024.
The Waves of Grain design was crocheted with Worsted Weight Yarn and a 5 mm hook. Later, this stitch was also used again in a collaborative blanket project published in October 2024.
