The WoolEater aka Bavarian Stitch

Hello fellow crocheters! This is one of the most beautiful stitches I have come across which is quite simple. This stitch is also known as Bavarian Crochet, and the beautiful Wool Eater Blanket pattern was designed by Sarah London.

If you’d like to give it a try, Sarah’s original instructions are still available free online, with step-by-step photographs:

I made 12 squares and then joined them by crochet to make an afghan.

For each afghan, used 3 shades of a colour and white for the border. As an estimate, I used approximately 150g of each coloured wool, and around 200g of white.

I would love to see your creations and answer any questions you may have – so please drop me a line. hope you find this inspirational! Happy crocheting!
