Suggested Supplies
The alpine crochet stitch works up nicely with a variety of yarn weights and fibers. Here we used a slightly textured, bulky weight roving yarn but it works up beautifully with smooth worsted weight yarn as well as light weight yarn. When switching to a new color, the stitch pattern creates a slightly jagged color transition.
Supplies used in demonstration video:
- Patons Alpaca Blend Yarn, Celestial
