Crochet Patterns for Kids

The crochet alpine stitch tutorial is a 4 row repeat and gives the most amazing texture! Even though its intermediate skill level, after you’ve mastered the first few rows you should find it pretty easy. Personally, I find the alpine stitch interesting enough not to get board, while being not so complex that you find it daunting. The alpine stitch is a solid crochet stitch with no gaps making it perfect for making warm items, and he modern crochet stitch is suitable for pretty much everyone’s taste. Also, the alpine stitch is non-reversible and looks the different on both sides.
