In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the simple eyelet stitch stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet and a double crochet. The simple eyelet stitch stitch is a repeat of two rows. It is very easy to make and it is suitable for beginners. The fabric turns out light and lacy.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: blue agave, and a 2.0 mm hook.
