About Moss Stitch
Moss stitch, or linen stitch is reversible, which means that it looks the same on both sides. It’s a one-row repeat, so once you get a hang of it, you’ll be crocheting without even thinking about it!
I wrote an article about Moss Stitch ideas, in which I tell more about this stitch, and – as usual – you’ll find the best examples of it by the top crocheters in my Crochet Roundup. Find it here:

Which colorway is more “You”?
I’ve created two very different swatches for this stitch, because I wanted to see how it the colors can change it. Both of them use Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn from my mini-skein pack! You will find the exact colors listed below each colorway.
Juicy Fruits
This seven color repeat was so much fun to crochet, let me tell you! I can see a potential for a baby blanket here, or some kind of cheerful accessory for the summer. The repeat is simple, because the order of colors stay the same.
Scheepjes Stone Washed – Colors:
834 Morganite, 820 Rose Quartz, 818 Lilac Quartz, 813 Amazonite, 819 New Jade, 817 Citrine, 801 Moonstone.
Blackberry in the Mist
I made a small whoopsie when photographing this swatch and I oriented it upside down – my bad! The colors I chose repeat like in the mirror, though, so I hope that it doesn’t change much for you, friends.
Sheepjes Stone Washed – Colors:
803 Black Onyx, 830 Lepidolite, 811 Deep Amethyst, 802 Smokey Quartz, 814 Crystal Quartz, 831 Axinite.
