I’m sure you’ve heard of this one, right? It’s perfect for our series and I just had to include it. The mini bean stitch adds a lot of interesting texture, while still being simple, fast, and completely gratifying.

We want to see it! If you try any of the stitches with us during the series, tag us @WeCrochetOfficial and @BQueenCollection AND use #totallytexturedtuesday so we can share!

Hi! I’m Makenzie from BQueen Collection and my husband I make custom wood crochet hooks while I also dabble in pattern design. We live in eastern Colorado, enjoy fishing and the outdoors, and have three young boys who keep us very busy (plus eight chickens because we eat soooo many eggs). We’d love to connect – follow us on Instagram @bqueencollection and see what we’re up to!

      What does ‘into the side’ mean??

    In this context, I think that “into the side” is the same thing as “into the top,” meaning the space created between the ch1 at the end of an mb stitch and the first drawn up loop of the next mb stitch. Check out the 2:30 mark of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k73aBqjne8Q

    Hope this helps!

    I am using this stitch to crochet a jacket, but I am having problems trying to work out how to increase stitches for the sleeves. Can you suggest how I might do this please?
