How To Crochet the Trellis Stitch
Today I want to show you how to crochet the plain trellis stitch. This is a very simple stitch that is perfect for beginners and great for quick projects. The trellis stitch is made up of a series of chains and single crochet stitches in the chain spaces. I'm currently using this stitch to crochet a chunky, yet light, spring scarf. Here's how you can practice the stitch before I share the scarf pattern instructions next week!
How To Crochet: Trellis Stitch
To practice you'll need a hook and yarn - the size and weight are not important but just make sure the hook is the right size for the yarn. In this example I'm using worsted weight yarn with a size 4.00mm hook. The foundation is worked in multiples of 4 chains plus 3 and an additional 3 chains for the foundation chain. Need a crash course on chains and single crochet? Check out the links below before you get started.
Row 1: ch 18 (12 chains plus 3, and 3 additional chains for the foundation), sc in 6th ch from hook, [ch 5, skip 3 ch, sc in next ch] repeat to end, turn.
Row 2: [ch 5, sc in next ch-5 space] repeat to end, turn.
Repeat row 2 until desired length is reached or you feel comfortable with the stitch.
Fasten off and admire your stitch sample. Now you're ready for next week's project - Chunky Spring Scarf!
