In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the eyelet mesh crochet stitch. For this stitch you should know how to make a single crochet and a double crochet. This stitch is quite simple and it is suitable for beginners. The eyelet mesh crochet stitch is a repeat of two rows. The fabric turns out lacy and light.
For this tutorial i use Järbo 8/4 100% Cotton Mercerized & Gassed 50 g yarn, color: 32032 (frosty green), and a 2.0 mm hook.
