The Marielle Crochet Stitch is a pretty lace stitch that can be used for shawls, garments and many other crochet projects. It’s an easy to remember stitch pattern that works up quickly to create fabric with drape.
Below in this crochet tutorial, you will find the stitch multiple needed to start in two different ways, pattern key, special stitches, notes, and written and video instructions.
Don’t forget to practice, and you’ll have it added to your mental crochet stitch library!
