Today we are going to show you how to crochet the grit stitch. The grit stitch is a very beginner-friendly stitch that you can use in many projects! Garments, pillowcases, washcloths, and blankets are a few that I can think of.
Here you can find the written pattern and a video tutorial!
This is a very easy stitch to learn and a one-row repeat. To make a different look, change the color of the yarn. I made one example with multi-colored yarn, and one with a one-color yarn. It is fun to see the difference!

A couple of weeks ago, we posted a tutorial on how to do the boxed bead stitch. This is also a high-textured stitch and very pretty!
