The first stitch for the Stitch Sampler Scrapghan is the Granny Spike Stitch! It’s a lot like the classic granny stripe, but it has an added spike stitch which adds some texture and dimension.
It’s not too late to join the Stitch Sampler Scrapghan CAL! You can find all the Scrapghan Crochet Along info HERE. Join my FACEBOOK GROUP to share your progress with your fellow crocheters!

Thank you for the PDF!
do you have written instruction for the spike stitch. i have tried to follow you on your vido, and i understand it fine, but i cannot keep up with up, so if i have the written instruction i might do better.
Instructions for part 1 say to repeat rows 3&4 to row 9. Does it end with row 3 which would be row 9, or with row 4 which would be row 8?
Repeat to row 9, which would end with a row 3 repeat
Loving the cal! It’s my first!
I get your newsletters, but I am unable to access your CAL instructions. How can I resolve this dilemma? I would love to make this Latrobe.
Hi! I’m not sure what you mean. Are you getting the email about the CAL? There is a link to download the pattern in the middle of each blog post.
Starting right now. Love it
I have started this sampler and I love it. I am printing the directions as I go from one pattern to the next. Suddenly, the only thing that prints is the picture of the stitch. What has happened.
Hi! I don’t know. It might be a printer error. The PDF hasn’t changed. Sorry!
