Trying to learn new ways to use the basic stitches is one of the many things I love about crochet. I continually strive to find ways to implement the 6 Basic Stitches into my patterns. I’m always on the search for new stitches, both easy and more difficult. The beginner friendly Elizabeth Stitch, also known as the Mini Bean stitch, uses steps of the basic stitches and adds beautiful texture to even the simplest projects.

MY FAVORITE PATTERNS USING THE ELIZABETH STITCH
The Beautiful Elizabeth Stitch creates an amazing eye appealing look for the newest of crafters. Because it simple to learn, it is a perfect option for a beginner to learn. Although, I have linked some different patterns here that use this stitch, I encourage you to try creating your own project. So, here is your chance to start with trying something small like a hat or scarf.
