Its unique structure not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the durability of your creations. Working with this stitch is straightforward: simply cross the stitches by skipping one, then going back to fill in the skipped stitch. It’s a clever way to add depth and character to your crochet works.

Tip:

Use a contrasting color for the crossed stitches to make the pattern pop and highlight the intricate design.

Material:

• Yarn (any type as desired)
• Corresponding crochet hook (the sample used a 5.5 mm hook)

Foundation Chain:

• Start by creating a foundation chain. It should be a multiple of 2 stitches, plus one additional stitch. In the example, 12 stitches are used for the multiples, and one extra chain is added for a total of 13 chains.

Row 1:

• Begin by making a single crochet in the third chain from the hook.
• Chain 1 to create a little space.
• Skip the next stitch, then single crochet in the following chain.

• Continue this pattern (chain 1, skip one stitch, single crochet in the next stitch) along the chain until you reach the end of the row.
• End with a single crochet in the last chain.

Row 2:

Turn your work to start the new row.

• Chain two. This counts as your first single crochet and a chain one space.
• Perform two single crochets together but start in the previous row’s chain-1 space:
• Insert your hook into the chain-1 space, yarn over, and pull up a loop (do not complete the stitch).
• Skip the next stitch.
• Insert your hook into the following chain-1 space, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
• You will now have three loops on the hook; yarn over and pull through all three to complete the ‘single crochet two together’.

• Chain 1 to create space.
• Repeat the ‘single crochet two together’ across the row, working into each chain-1 space and skipping stitches as described.
• End the row with a single crochet in the top of the turning chain from the previous row.

Repeat Row:

Continue repeating Row 2 for the desired length of your project. Ensure to keep the pattern consistent by working into the spaces and skipping appropriately.
