Reversible Feathers Crochet Stitch The reversible feathers crochet stitch creates soft, overlapping plumes that look exactly the same on both faces of the fabric — turn the work over and there is no wrong side, no flat back, just feathers.

The larks foot stitch is one of those stitch patterns that looks far more complicated than it really is. Long spike stitches drop down through the rows below and lean together in neat V shapes, so the finished fabric is covered in little tracks that look like birds’ footprints – which is exactly how the…
