Recently, I stumbled upon the amazing idea of surface crochet.

With a little modification, I began experimenting with surface crochet on my empty square. Here are a couple of my WIPs showcasing my progress:

1. The Blue Square: This was my first attempt. While it has some errors and isn’t a perfect square, it served as a valuable learning experience. The mistakes highlighted areas for improvement, and I grew more confident with each stitch.
2. The Pink Square: My second attempt turned out much better. It’s a perfect square, and the surface crochet adds a lovely texture. Seeing this success motivates me to keep experimenting and refining my technique.

Future Variations

As I continue to explore surface crochet, I’m considering a few variations to enhance my designs further:

1. Two-Sided Surface Crochet: Instead of working on all four sides of the square, I’m thinking about trying a design that only incorporates surface crochet on two sides. This could create an interesting asymmetrical look, adding a unique touch to the final piece.
2. Color Variations: Another idea is to finish the surface crochet (using a light color) in round 4 and then make round 5 with the center color. This variation would create a beautiful contrast, highlighting the intricate surface stitches against a bold backdrop.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and see your creations! Have you tried surface crochet before? Do you have any tips or ideas for variations? Share your experiences in the comments below.

Happy crocheting!
