Highway Crochet Stitch For Blankets

"The Highway stitch is an easy crochet stitch for blankets. It combines front loop only and back loop only stitches for some added texture. The highway crochet stitch is a simple, lightly textured stitch giving a horizontal line effect. Both sides are different but beautiful. In addition, this stitch doesn’t make any holes which makes it a great crochet stitch for blankets. It looks great in striped projects. A light color will help show off the stitch definition. This easy crochet stitch is part of a fun stitch exploration. You can find all 30 stitches on my blog."
