Have you heard of the gorgeous alpine stitch?

I love how it’s a combination of two very simple stitches and gives such a beautiful texture. If you’re a beginner and find complex stitches to be a challenge, this is a great one to try after your basics. And you can make so much with it! I’ve used it in everything from squares and bookmarks to stockings and plant cozies.
