Hi everyone! 👋🏼 Welcome to Stitch Explorers! It’s a little cold here and I wanted to keep up the stitch tutorials for blankets to keep you cozy. I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween ! I spent a little time with my grandbaby Sammy and he was terrified! He only walked to three houses before he was ready to call it quits and go home. It was super cold though too.
This Iris Stitch is a beautiful stitch comprised of one stitch and chains, with a one-row repeat! 🙌🏼. I was at the park today and found the most beautiful pansies, and native flowers to use in the photos for this stitch.
This stitch is a wonderful addition to your stitch library, and will work beautifully in scarves, as accent rows for hats, baby blankets, throws, or even a pretty fall cardigan.
For the tutorial I used Scheepjes Stone-Washed DK in color 815.

What can I make with the Iris Stitch?
The sure ease of working this stitch would make it great for blankets in any weight yarn. I think it would look fabulous as an addition for some open-work in between solid areas of a scarf too. You name it! Cowls, scarves, cardigans, and shawls would be amazing with this stitch!
I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and if you have any questions or comments, please leave them below, I would love to talk crochet!
