In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the wild net stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a double crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a slip stitch and a picot stitch. The wild net stitch is a repeat of one row. It is a reversible crochet stitch and it looks the same on both sides. The fabric is lacy and very light.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 8/4, 50 g = 165 m, color: 706 (sea green), and a 2.0 mm hook.
