With a really interesting variation of the single crochet stitch, the Rattan single crochet, I will give closure to the chapter on Dense stitches for crochet bags<\/strong>. For those of you who missed the previous posts that comprise this chapter you can catch up by clicking the following links and finding all about the waistcoat stitch<\/a>, the canestro stitch<\/a>, the single crochet camel stitch,<\/a> the sailors knot stitch<\/a>, the slanting waistcoat stitch<\/a>, and last but not least the frontal half double crochet stitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n Though the Rattan single crochet stitch can only be worked in the round it shares the basic versatile features of the regular single crochet. It is a standalone stitch and therefore does not require to be worked in even or od numbers and it is increasable and decreasable. It is also a very beautiful impressive stitch that creates a woven-like uniform fabric ideal for summer bags and many more projects.<\/p>\n However, there is a certain degree of difficulty to this stitch since it requires removing your hook from your open loops and inserting it back, in every single stitch. To work a Rattan single crochet you must insert your hook into the chain next in line, yarn over, and pull a loop. You must then release your hook and insert it from the opposite direction first into the second loop and then into the first.\u00a0 Finally, you must pull the first loop on your hook through the second and the yarn over and chain one.<\/p>\n Complicated as it may sound do not let this fact discourage you because, in the end,\u00a0 you will be compensated with an amazing texture, that resembles rattan handicrafts and totally justifies the name of this stitch.<\/p>\n Foundation:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Chain any number of chains.
