Welcome back to another month in our 2025 Temperature/Sampler Blanket Crochet Along! Can you believe we’re already in September? This month, we’re featuring a stitch that looks simple at first glance but creates such a fun, textured effect—the Slip Stitch Ridge Stitch.
In some books, like Beginner's Guide: 19 Crochet Stitches & Easy Projects, you’ll see it listed simply as the “slip stitch.” But when we work it up in rows, it transforms into these neat little ridges that give our blanket a subtle but beautiful texture.
