In this tutorial I show how to make the single crochet mesh stitch working in rows. The single crochet mesh stitch is very simple and it is suitable for beginners because it only requires to know how to make a chain and a single crochet. It is a repeat of one row. This crochet stitch is reversible and looks the same on both sides.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: eucalyptus, and a 2.0 mm hook.
