Railroad Stitch

"This simple crochet stitch is great for blankets. It doesn’t make holes in which your toes can get caught. Although you only get the straight lines effect on one side, both sides give a beautiful striped effect. Use it with one color, or highlight the striping with different colors. It would also look great in a chunky winter cardigan or wrap. Learn how to crochet the easy Railroad stitch with this detailed crochet stitch pattern."
