Tree Branch Hot Pad

"The crochet branch stitch has a wonderful texture and it is easier than it looks. It’s kind of a dense version of the Granny stitch. The Branch stitch uses the double crochet stitch, in a way of working 3 double crochet stitches in every gap (between 2 posts) while the second double crochet stitch is a Spike stitch worked 2 rows below. The addition of the spike stitch creates a dense fabric and makes it perfect as hot pad, this stitch will make a very nice blanket and scarf."
