Meet Moogly mastermind Tamara Kelly, who begins with a quick conversation about how crocodile stitch works. Then, follow along to create your base layer of mesh crochet, and learn how to create the additional layers that will become your crocodile scales. That's the crocodile stitch!
Discover how to shape your scales for more versatility. Tamara starts with three scales and works up to five scales, demonstrating increases along the way. Want to work back to a single stitch? This lesson ends with the decreases you need to make it.
Put your newfound skills to the test with a crocodile stitch pillow project! Since crocodile stitch patterns are written a few different ways, Tamara shows you how to easily navigate the differences and follow along. Then, learn to set up for your project, work your pillow and bring the two sides together with a neat seam job.
Why limit yourself to flat projects? In this lesson, Tamara shows you how to work crocodile stitch in the round for scaly socks, mermaid tails and more! You'll move step by step through planning your project, working your base row of mesh, working your scales, and increasing and decreasing, all in the round.
Crocodile stitch can be a real yarn-eater. Luckily, just a little bit of the pattern can go a long way. Find out how to spice up your projects with crocodile-stitch edging, as Tamara guides you through methods for working around curves and making scales point out instead of in.
Fun embellishments are ahead! Follow along with Tamara as she shows you how to use your scales as whimsical accents in the round and add afterthought scales to your work. For crocodile with extra style, the lesson ends with steps for incorporating beads.
