In this free step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the honeysuckle 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, and other summer crochet projects. This stitch can also be used in decorative crochet projects for the home.
This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. The honeysuckle stitch is a repeat of two rows. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make single crochet and double crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a treble crochet.
Materials and tools
Yarn: For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 100 % 8/4 50 g, color: 3304 (lilac). 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.
