Cross Treble Crochet Stitch
The Cross Treble Crochet Stitch is a beautiful crochet mesh stitch that is perfect for a texture overlay on a blanket or just as a lacey blanket or cardigan. This is a more complicated crochet stitch, best suited for advanced crocheters.
Materials
- Any worsted yarn or any other yarn weight
- 5mm crochet hook or hook size for yarn of choice
- Tapestry needle for weaving ends
Abbreviations (US terms)
- ch = Chain
- yo = Yarn Over
- crossed tr = Crossed treble stitch
Notes
- This stitch uses minimal yarn due to its open stitches.
- This swatch isn't a completed project; add rows for a lace scarf or adjust the starting chain for your desired width.
- Layer this stitch over solid crochet sections by working in the front loop, then adding a solid block behind it in the back loop.
Instructions
- The cross treble crochet stitch pattern is worked in rows not rounds.
- Ch x28 +1 (if you are wanting to adjust the length of the ch, make it in multiples of 4 +1)
- Row 1: To make your first crossed treble crochet stitch: yo x2, and insert your hook into the 5th ch from the hook. Then yo and draw up a loop.
- *Yo and pull the yarn through 2 loops. Then yo and skip the next 2 chs, and insert your hook into the next stitch, yo and draw up a loop.
- (Then yo and draw through 2 loops on your hook) x4.
- After that, ch x2.
- Then yo and insert your hook under the 2 loops found at the CENTER part of the stitch you just made (the middle of the soon to be x).
- Yo and pull through the 2 loops on your hook twice.
- To make the next stitch and the rest of the cross treble crochet stitches in the row, yo x2 and insert your hook into the next stitch on the foundation ch.* Then repeat from * onwards.Make a tr in the last chain.
- Ch x4 and turn.
- Row 2: Row 2 is worked just like the previous row, but you want to skip the 4 turning chains plus the treble stitch and start the next X directly above where the last rows X starts.
- Row 3 and onwards: Repeat as long as you want. (I made 6 rows)
- After completing your project I suggest giving it a single crochet border to help keep the stitches open.
- And now you have learned the cross treble stitch for crochet!
