Lace Stitch Pattern
This is a simple guide to creating a beautiful crochet pattern that can be used for blankets, tops, vests, scarves, and much more.
Instructions
Step 1: Starting Off Create a foundation chain in multiples of 4 (e.g., 20, 24, 28…). Add a few extra chains to give the pattern the desired shape.
Step 2: First Row Start with triple crochet stitches across the entire length of the foundation chain. At the end of the row, turn your work to begin the next row.
Step 3: Second Row Pull up 3 chains to start the row. Work front post triple crochet stitches by inserting the hook around the lower belt of each triple crochet stitch from the previous row. This technique adds a unique texture to the pattern.
Step 4: Third Row Pull up 4 chains to begin the row. Create a double post crochet on the third stitch from the previous row: Wrap the yarn around the hook twice, insert it into the selected post, and pull the yarn through.
Repeat this process 4 times on the same post. Combine the stitches to form a double post crochet. Continue alternating posts and spaces as needed.
Step 5: Popcorn Row After completing a series of double posts, switch to creating popcorn stitches: Work 6 double crochets in the same space. Combine all the stitches into a single stitch to form a popcorn. Secure the popcorn with a chain stitch.
Step 6: Final Rows Alternate between rows of popcorn stitches and double post stitches. At the end of each row, secure the pattern with a slip stitch and pull up a few chains to begin the new row.
Tips For a cleaner finish, maintain consistent yarn tension throughout the project. Experiment with different colors to add variety and creativity to your design.
Final Result Once completed, you’ll have a rich texture with raised and lowered elements, including popcorn and double post stitches. This pattern is perfect for a variety of creative projects!
