In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the lacy pyramid stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet and a double crochet. The lacy pyramid stitch is a repeat of four rows. The fabric turns out lacy and light.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 100% 8/4 50g, color: 361 (grey), and a 2.0 mm hook.
