The iris stitch is a quick, beginner friendly stitch with a beautiful, lacy texture. 🧶 It’s perfect for November, when the air turns crisp, the holidays are right around the corner, and you want something cozy to work on that still feels like it’s coming together fast. It’s a great pick for scarves, blankets, wraps, and handmade gifts. 🍂🧣 Our tutorial is available on our YouTube if you want visuals to follow along, and we hope it helps you fall in love with this stitch
