Learn how to do Catherine's wheel stitch to add a new crochet technique to your arsenal and make this lovely blanket. This lovely pattern creates rows of interlocking rounds or “wheels” that you may highlight with a variety of color combinations, after being named after the spinning fireworks of the same name.
The wheel stitch is largely made up of simple crochet stitches, but you should be comfortable with increases (adding more than one stitch to a stitch) and decreases (combining multiple stitches together).
The stitches are made up of tiny, smooth, and twisted squares. These diminutive parts have two kinds of shells: double crochet half-circles resembling shell stitches (as well as decreases that make upside-down half-circles) and decreases that make upside-down half-circles.
There are a few stitches that might be confused with Catherine's wheel Among them, Harlequin stitch and starburst stitch both use a similar technique to this one, but they aren't the same.
