How to do Surface Crochet - Slip Stitch and Chain Embroidery

Want to see how I crochet surface crochet?

Hi I'm Donna Wolfe from Naztazia. NEW Videos Wednesday! Please Subscribe!

Surface crochet is a great way to add some interesting detail to your crochet work. It is very similar to the technique known in sewing as chain embroidery. It can also be considered slip stitch crochet.

For this crochet technique, I like to use an existing work of single crochet. You can use other stitches too; however I find single crochet works best because it has a relatively square shape. Basically the length and width are about the same. You will use the spaces in between the stitches as a guide to doing surface crochet.

For this particular sample I am using some Red Heart Super Saver yarn and a size H hook. For the heart itself, I used 2 strands of yarn held together.
