Crossed Single Crochet Stitch Tutorial
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.
