Almond Ridges Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial
The Almond Ridges crochet stitch uses alternating sequences of half double crochets and slip stitches worked in the back loop. I love the gentle wave pattern created by this stitch.
I think the stitch would be great to use for a blanket, hat, scarf, pillow cover and more. Its so versatile!
