Embroidered Crochet

Double crochet (US single crochet) forms a dense, firm base ideal for stitching using either crochet yarn or stranded cotton. The effect is a beautiful, textured, raised design that combines the delicacy and charm of embroidery with crochet's soft, tactile feel. This means you can transform crocheted items into stunning, intricate pieces.
