In this step-by-step tutorial I show how to make the cross over crochet stitch. This stitch uses single crochets, double crochets and long double crochets. It is a repeat of two rows and it is not complicated.
For this tutorial I use Järbo 8/4 100% Cotton Mercerized & Gassed 50 g yarn, color: 32018 (linen).

Photo instructions for the cross over crochet stitch
Row 1
1. Start by chaining multiples of four plus one.
2. Make a single crochet in the second chain from your hook.
3. Keep making single crochets in every stitch until the end of the row.
4. At the end of the row chain three.
Row 2
5. Turn your work around. Chain tree that you have just made counts as a stitch. This means that you will start working in the second stitch.
6. So, make a double crochet.
7. Then skip one stitch and make a double crochet.
8. Make two more double crochets in the next two stitches. Now you will have to make a long double crochet in the stitch that you have skipped.
9. So, yarn over.
10. Insert your hook in the stitch that you have skipped.
11. Grab the yarn.
12. Pull the yarn through and make a long loop like it is shown in the picture. Now you have three loops on your hook.
13. Then yarn over.
14. Pull the yarn through the first two loops on your hook.
15. Yarn over.
16. Pull the yarn through both loops on your hook. Next you will have to skip one stitch.
17. So, skip one stitch and make three double crochets in the next three stitches. Next you will work in the stitch that you have skipped.
18. Make a long double crochet in the stitch that you have skipped.
19. Keep working in the same way until the end of the row.
20. Make two double crochets in the last two stitches.
21. Then chain one.
Row 3
22. Turn your work around. Chain one that you have just made does not count as a stitch. This means that you will start working in the very first stitch.
23. So, make a single crochet in the very first stitch.
24. Keep making single crochets in every stitch until the end of the row. For the rest of the pattern repeat rows 2 and 3.
