Materials:
2 colors of yarn (cream and milky brown)
Crochet hook (2 mm or 0.75 mm, adjust based on your tension)
Start with your cream yarn. Create a foundation chain that fits the size of your project (not too tight, not too loose).
Work as follows:
Skip 2 chains, make a single crochet in the 3rd chain.
Chain 2, skip 2 chains, and make another single crochet in the next chain.
Repeat until the end of the row.
Step 2: First Row with Second Color
Attach the milky brown yarn without cutting the cream yarn.
In the first space between the single crochets:
Work 3 double crochets (dc) in the same space.
Move to the next space and repeat: 3 double crochets in each space.
At the end of the row, secure your yarn and leave it attached.
Return to the cream yarn.
Turn your work and chain 4 (this forms the side loops).
Skip the first space and work into the next:
Yarn over, insert into the space, pull up a loop, and make an extended double crochet (slightly longer than a regular double crochet).
Chain 1 to create a loose effect.
Yarn over and insert into the space between the chain and double crochet, forming a criss-cross effect.
Repeat the process across the row, maintaining loose tension.
At the end, chain 4 and turn your work.
Step 4: Repeat Rows
Alternate between the two colors as follows:
Use the brown yarn for rows of 3 double crochets in each space.
Use the cream yarn to create the crossed pattern with extended double crochets and chains.
Keep repeating these rows until your project reaches the desired size.
