additional motifs to create larger crochet projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2764\ufe0f Beginner Notes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the motif looks advanced, it is built from repeating combinations of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>chain stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>single crochet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>double crochet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>shell stitches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The square shape is created simply by placing regular corner increases in four locations every round. After making one or two motifs, the stitch sequence becomes much easier to remember and repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VIDEO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crochet Latest and Incredibly Beautiful Multipurpose Motif Tutorial\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/53KWDtKU_ag?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83e\uddf6 Materials Optional Cotton yarn is especially beautiful for motifs because it shows lace details clearly and helps the motif hold its shape. \u2728 Abbreviations &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":12083,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crochet"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.12 -
