Master the Unique Overlapping Chain Stitch for Beautiful Crochet Projects

This technique, also known as overlay crochet, is a relatively new method developed by Melody MacDuffee in 2003, which involves creating chained patterns on a crochet base mesh.

In this technique, the overlapping chain stitch is the star of the show, as it creates a unique, soft texture on projects like blankets, baby blankets, scarves, and more.

The stitch is made up of common crochet stitches, such as slip stitch, chain stitch, single, double, and triple stitch, as well as a few specialty stitches.

To begin learning this technique, it's recommended to have a good understanding of these basic crochet stitches, as well as how to increase the number of stitches and make a long stitch.

Once you have these skills under your belt, you can move on to mastering the overlapping chain stitch.

The overlapping chain stitch is formed in two parts, and a layer of crochet base mesh is required. The technique is showcased step by step in a video, which makes it easy to follow along and learn.

While overlapping crochet can be offered to advanced crocheters, it's not as complicated as it may seem. With some patience and practice, even beginners can create stunning crochet projects using this technique.

If you're looking to expand your crochet skills and create unique textured pieces, the overlapping chain stitch is an excellent technique to learn.

With its roots in Aran crochet and its versatility in creating chained patterns, it's sure to become a favorite among crochet enthusiasts.
