Today I’m going to teach you how to crochet the drunken granny stitch. This stitch looks a lot more complicated than what it actually is, you only need to know chains and double crochet, so I think even beginners can accomplish this stitch!
I used this stitch to make a headband and cowl, but you can use it to for other projects like blankets, garments, and more.
