In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the three and two stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a double crochet. The three and two stitch is a repeat of two rows. It is very easy to make, and it is suitable for crochet 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.
