Tamara Kelly, Moogly
Have you ever tried an extended crochet stitch before?
I really love how extended crochet stitches build on our most basic crochet stitches (single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and even taller stitches). With a simple little change (read Tamara’s post to find out!) to how you make the stitch, you have a fun new crochet texture and fabric for your projects.

PRACTICE PROJECT:
If you’d like to try a project using an extended half double crochet stitch, Tamara recommends her Cosmos Cardigan. The pattern includes both misses and plus sizes!
Access the FREE pattern here: https://www.mooglyblog.com/cosmos-cardigan/
You can reach Tamara’s YouTube channel in the video below by clicking the word YOUTUBE which displays at the bottom right corner of the video.
So watch the video, then hover over the video player with your cursor/mouse and select the word YouTube when it displays on the bottom-right.
