The catalogue of knitting stitches welcomes yet another esteemed member to its ranks; today we present you the crochet lace stitch in relief. The stitch presents itself as a succession of lines. A flat row and a row of nuts. To simplify matters it's practically an alternation of empty and full. To us, more than just lace, we visualise an infinite paved driveway with grass growing down the middle. Perhaps because they are stereotypical of the houses found in the Tuscan hills!
For us, the crochet lace stitch in relief seems ideal for a summer tank top. What do you think? The yarn chosen is Lincoln in the color sky blue. It's also perfect for a garment to wear in the summer sun. Before starting the tutorial take a look at the whole Lincoln color range on our shop and choose your favourite color.
