Open Weave ZIgZag Stitch
This stitch is perfect for crochet summer garments, blankets, cushions, placemats.
Looks fantastic in cotton yarn and having in mind the properties of cotton the creations will have fantastic aesthetic and keep you warm and cool at the same time.
I have been using it for a blanket and I am currently making a poncho.
Lets see the pattern.
