We've shared a few stitches which became very popular lately. Now if you want to use yet another different crochet stitches to spice up your work, here are some Beautiful Spike Stitch Crochet Free Patterns to create an awesome looking texture. Spike stitches are worked into previous rows by inserting the hook through the fabric rather than into the top of the stitch. They are an easy way to introduce a color work effect into crochet without having to juggle more than one color in the same row. Playing with the depth and frequency of spike stitches along a row can add a variety of geometric color patterns. You can add this type of crochet stitch pattern to anything you make. Happy crocheting.

Placemats like these would make a fabulous addition to your outdoor picnic table, especially when celebrating holidays like Memorial Day and the 4th of July. They are made with plarn, an interesting material to upcycle for use in crocheting placemats. This free pattern also comes with instructions for complementary plarn coasters.
Note that it's not recommended to use these placemats for hot dishes, but they're ideal when serving sandwiches, salad, pickles, or other similar picnic fares. Best of all, plarn is easy to make (for free) using readily available materials. And of course, you could opt to use different plastic bag colors to make similar crochet placemats without the red, white, and blue theme.
