In this free step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the striped treble crochet mesh stitch. This stitch is a lacy crochet stitch. The fabric turns out very light and breathable. It works great for shawls and wraps, lightweight scarves, lacy crochet summer tops and tanks, and other summer crochet projects.
This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. The striped treble crochet mesh stitch is a two-row repeat. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make single crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a treble crochet.

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.
