Stacked Puff Stitch
The tutorial for today is from me, Sweet Potato 3. I chose to feature the Stacked Puff Stitch because I love the unform look of the straight lines but the playfulness of the puff stitches. I have used this in a couple different blanket designs, each are linked in my stitch tutorial.

Star Crochet Stitch Tutorial
I have to admit that I adore the look of the star stitch! It is so fun and playful. I also love that once you crochet a few it is actually so much easier than it looks. However, I do not have this stitch in any of my designs because making a tutorial has always scared me off-LOL!
Thankfully, Salty Pearl Cochet put this tutorial together and I love it! Now I can use the stitch and link back to her, seriously, go check it out!
Shell Trellis Crochet Tutorial
As much as I like full stitches that create a rich texture, there is something elegant about open stitchwork. This shell trellis has an eye appeal that is cute and elegant all at the same time. I am sure this drape would be lovely in summer and spring crochet projects too.
