Have you ever crocheted the alpine stitch? I just LOVE it. This stitch is so easy and the texture is to die for!

Looking for a way to practice the alpine crochet stitch? Try making up the Cozy Alpine Stitch Blanket Square. You can work up a bunch of these and stitch them together. Or make one and add it to a blanket with different squares, like the 2023 Stashbusting Blanket Mystery CAL hosted by the Unraveled Mitten.

This pattern uses the alpine stitch, the shell stitch, and the modified granny stitch to create a beautiful, textured blanket square.
