In this free step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the double trellis stitch. This stitch is a lacy crochet stitch. The fabric turns out light, breathable and elegant. It works great for shawls and wraps, lightweight scarves, lacy crochet summer tops and tanks, beach cover-ups and other summer crochet projects.
This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. The double trellis stitch is a four-row repeat. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make single crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a double treble crochet stitch.
Materials and tools
Yarn: For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 8/4, 50 g = 165 m, color: 706 (sea green). However, you can use your favorite yarn depending on the crochet project.
Hook: I use a 2.0 mm hook. If you are using a different yarn, choose the hook size that is recommended on your yarn label.
