In this free step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the picot trellis 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, beach cover-ups and other summer crochet projects. This stitch can also be used in decorative crochet projects for the home.
This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). The picot trellis stitch is a repeat of two rows. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make single crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a treble crochet stitch.
Materials and tools
Yarn: For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 100% 8/4 50g, color: 361 (grey). 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.
