The Wildflower stitch is an easy crochet stitch that would suit so many different projects. It is slightly open with a few holes, but would still keep the warmth in whilst having a breathable fabric. The Wildflower stitch would suit projects such as blankets, sweaters, shawls and much more besides.

For the sample in the picture below I used Paintbox 100% cotton aran. A beautiful non mercerised 100% cotton yarn that comes in a good variety of colours that are amazingly saturated with pigment for wonderfully vibrant colours that will make your crochet grab every ones attention.

I also used my trusty Clover Amour hooks which are perfect if you are looking for a good value ergonomic crochet hook that won’t cause your hand to ache if you are crocheting for long periods of time. I’ve tried many different crochet hooks over the years, but I always end up coming back to my trusty Clovers. They just sit so well in my hand and never let me down.

Start by making a foundation chain in multiples of 2 plus 2 (plus 1 for your turning chain)

Row 1. In the 3rd ch from your hook make a sc (your turning ch counts as your first st of the row). Make a sc in each st across

How To Add A Border To The Wildflower Stitch

The Wildflower stitch has both single and double crochet rows. For your border you need to add one stitch into the side of each single crochet row and 2 stitches into the side of each double crochet row.

I always recommend that you make a round of single crochet stitches around your piece first before adding any border pattern that you have planned, as doing this just helps to even your stitches out and make a nice solid round to add any further stitches into.
