This fourth and final post about crochet embroidery takes us full circle, in a way, going back to backstitching and weaving. If you have any last questions or comments please do leave them. I’m open to a follow-up post in a week or two tying up any loose ends (so to speak).

Welcome to Episode 3 of this series about embroidering on crochet. I often call lazy daisy and fly “caught stitches.” We’ll see more caught stitches this time, but I’m calling them linked stitches to evoke the fact that they are multiple stitches in a row, rather than separate. Remember that if you have any questions or suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
