Here you can find out how to crochet mini bean stitch.
Mini Bean Stitch is surprisingly easy to do, using techniques learnt with Single crochet to get a stitch that looks totally different.
Other names for Mini Bean Stitch
Mini Bean Stitch is how I learnt this stitch (and I love the name), but doing some research, it’s also called the Elizabeth Stitch.
What can you use Mini Bean Stitch for?
Mini Bean Stitch is perfect for anything that needs a little bit of texture.
It’s gives a nice thick crochet cloth, but it is a bit of a yarn eater.
But if you are looking something totally different to single crochet, this could be the stitch for you.
I have also Mini Bean stitch in these free crochet patterns:
Happy Horizontal Scarf (Originally featured in issue 37 of Crochet Now Magazine)
The Quirrell Scarf – super chunky quick scarf
What stitches do you need to know to make the Mini Bean Stitch
Mini Bean Stitch uses the way you “yarn over” for crochet stitches to get the effect.
As it’s not a combination of stitches, it would be handy to know how to:
- Chain
- Single crochet
- Double Crochet
Notes
Make a multiple of 2+4 chains to start
If changing colour, do the last Yarn Over in the new colour.
