Learn how to crochet the Chain Of Events Stitch, it’s a lovely crochet stitch for an intermediate crocheter that can be used for a variety of crochet projects.
The Chain Of Events Stitch is a lovely crochet stitch pattern that only uses three crochet stitches which are the chain stitch, single crochet stitch and the double crochet stitch. I would recommend it for an intermediate crocheter as the placement is a bit harder in this crochet stitch pattern so you must know where to put your stitches and there is a 6 row repeat so it does involve some concentration, but done correctly and it does turn out beautiful! I would recommend putting a border around this stitch pattern as it looks a little untidy without.
This crochet stitch gives a bit of a lacy look but not too much so it would be suitable for a blanket pattern.

Chain Of Events Stitch Questions
Will I Need To Block This Stitch?
I would advise you to block this crochet stitch pattern if you are not putting a border around it.
How Do I Block My Crochet Projects?
Don’t be scared to really stretch the stitches when blocking as it really opens up the stitches and gives it definition and makes your piece lay completely flat.
This works best with natural fiber yarns like wool or merino. Soak your finished project for 20 minutes in cool water and squeeze excess water out gently. Do not twist. Lay your damp project on blocking boards and stretch to your desired width and length use blocking pins to hold in place. Let your crochet project dry completely before unpinning.
This works best with synthetic yarns like acrylic. You can steam block your crochet project with either a hand steamer or the steam function on an iron. Just be careful not to directly touch the crochet project as it will burn the yarn. Hold one inch above the crochet piece and flatten piece down with your hand whilst gently stretching it out.
How Do I Change Colors?
I would advise changing colors at the end of the row by working until the last stitch of the row in the old color and add the new color in before completing your last yarn over so it is ready for the next row in the new color.
