Crystal Waves Crochet Stitch Video Tutorial

This beautiful crochet stitch pattern was taught to me by my wonderful friend and neighbor”Crystal” when she found out I was expecting my first son a few years back. She told me her mother used to make beautiful blankets with this crochet pattern but that she did not know the name of it so in her honor for being such a wonderful friend and neighbor I named this stitch after her and her love for the ocean, Crystal Waves Crochet Stitch Pattern. Thank you my sweet dear friend Crystal for your beautiful friendship, RIP.
