In this Battle of the Stitches tutorial, I’m showing you how to crochet the Turtle Stitch (stitch #26) and walking you through it step-by-step so you can stitch right along with me. This is the stitch we’re using for our monthly challenge, and I love doing these because it pushes all of us to try something new and then actually turn it into a finished project. If you’ve never done the Turtle Stitch before, don’t worry—I’m teaching it in a way that’s easy to follow, and you can practice it on a small swatch first. I also share how our Battle of the Stitches schedule works: the first Wednesday is the stitch tutorial, the second Wednesday is a sneak peek of what we’re making (with a little guessing game), the third Wednesday is the full reveal plus a project tutorial, and the fourth Wednesday we go live to announce the winner and pick a comment winner. Make sure you check out the other three channels participating—Heather from Strings and Threads, Lori from Lori Stories and Crochet, and Charity from FROG Crochet—because it’s so fun seeing how differently we all use the same stitch. And please tag me or reach out—I genuinely want to see what you make with the Turtle Stitch!
