In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the eyelet and block 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 and a double crochet. The eyelet and block stitch is a repeat of four rows. This stitch is very easy to make and it is suitable for beginners. The fabric turn out lacy and light.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: blue agave, and a 2.0 mm hook.
