Hi Robin, do you allow the finished item to be sold with credit to your pattern or would you prefer not to have that happen. I always like to check. Thank you.

I'm currently working on a scarf with this stitch. It's going to become a pocket scarf once it's done. It's a fun stitch and works up fairly fast. Great texture that photography doesn't do it justice. Everyone should try it if they haven't already, just to see it in person.

[@HookedbyRobin]

It is SO hard to capture the gentle texture in photos isn't it? A pocket scarf sounds like it will be lovely and warm 😍

[@StormCaller5]

@@HookedbyRobin It is! Lol took two photos of it to show my friend, since the scarf is for her. Both looked bad! 😂

What a surprise for me! I did a number of afghans w/this pattern years ago when I was just beginning my crocheting. I’d bought a bag at a yard sale w/books, scraps of notes for crocheting for $.50. This pattern was on a scrap of paper. I tried it, loved it and called it my “Up and Down” pattern. Robin, so it has a name huh? Well, “Up and Down” has worked for years! 😅

@@charlenerenee7751 No, it's just that the way she has the yarn wrapped in her fingers. There are a number of ways to do it. I was remarking that this is the way I do it.

This stitch has been out forever. People just call it different names.

Some even have the gut to claim it and sell the technique on etsy and title it as new stitch pattern. It's no uncommon these days, many of these crochet influencers copy the pattern from others and make it look like they create themselves.

[@simahashemi9]

Why does it called “lemon peel”?

[@kimwilliamson7163]

I think it's because of the slight "bumpy" texture; like what you see on some lemons, oranges, etc.
