Accordion Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial
Incorporate the Accordion crochet stitch into your next throw blanket or evening shawl for a fun design element. The front of the pattern features thick contrasting lines creating a bold quirky look, whereas the back side has a more elegant feel. I actually like the back side the best!
