In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the lacy square and eyelet stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet and a double crochet. The lacy square and eyelet stitch is a repeat of two rows. This stitch is easy to make and it is suitable for beginners. The fabric turns out light and lacy.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: dusty tulip, and a 2.0 mm hook.
