In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the zigzag lozenge crochet stitch. This stitch uses half double crochets, double crochets and double crochets three together. It is a repeat of four rows.
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.
