In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the picot trellis stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a treble crochet stitch. The picot trellis stitch is a repeat of two rows. The fabric turns out lacy and very light.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 100% 8/4 50g, color: 361 (grey), and a 2.0 mm hook.
