I had started a crochet stitch library on my blog last Sunday, where I would file all the new stitches that I learned, the link for the stitch pattern and what I made using that stitch.

So today I’ve got the Star Stitch to rave about.

The written instructions were a bit confusing for me. So after a couple of failed attempts, I then learned it by watching Michael Sellick’s video tutorial on You Tube. He really does great tutorials!

The video link is : Star Stitch

I’d initially thought I’d make a dishcloth using this stitch since it would be quicker to complete. But once I commenced, I found I didn’t want to stop and eventually ended up making a neck-warmer 🙂

Here it is!

A lovely stitch once you figure out where all the loops on the hook has to come from.

I need to learn new stitches in crochet. There are just too many and I don’t know if one could learn them all!! But I’m gonna try out as many new ones as I possibly can.

So with that in mind, I’ve decided to set up a stitch library on my blog. Every Sunday (hopefully), I will be adding on new stitch patterns that I come across, the link to that particular pattern as well as a sample that I’ve made using the featured stitch.

I think its a nice way to learn to create something yourself using these techniques. And trying them out could give an idea of what those particular stitches would be ideal for.

So for today, I’ve got the “Rickracks Stitch” that I’ve practiced doing and have made a sample square that I’ll use as a dishcloth 🙂 . I think I’ll probably end up with hundreds of them if I really get on with it.

And here’s the dishcloth I made using this stitch.
