How To: Surface Crochet

As part of my goal to focus on different techniques this year I’ve been checking out “surface crochet”. I have used the basic slip stitch surface crochet, but while surfing I came across tons of amazing stitches based on this method and many wonderful patterns. Surface crochet is great for adding details, color and outlining. You can using it for “writing” on a project, making plaid and cleaning up the rough edges of graph crochet.
