The Woven Lattice stitch is an interesting crochet stitch that is excellent for confident beginners. This stitch creates a gorgeous drape and is great for scarves or other open, lightweight designs. Let’s learn how to make the Woven Lattice stitch today!
Woven Lattice Tutorial
This gorgeous stitch is great for all types of light garments, including scarves and shawls. We are using a combination of chain stitches and single crochet stitches. What I love most about this stitch is the way it drapes. The fabric created is so lightweight yet sturdy – and stunning too!
Every project I have made using this stitch has required blocking. Blocking is not difficult to do and really helps to open up those stitches, as seen in the back of the Maddie Ruana pictured below. Get detailed instructions on How To Block Crochet here.
What a STUNNING and lightweight stitch for warmer weather months! I love it! I think this would also make for an excellent table runner using cotton yarn… and could almost act as a hot pad running down the entire center of the table, too. How great would that be when gathered around a looong table full of family this Thanksgiving?
About the Woven Lattice Stitch:
Start with a chain multiple of 8 + 1, + 1.
There are 8 stitches in each repeat.
If you are using a foundation stitch to start your project, you can omit the extra chain mentioned above and make your foundation row a multiple of 8 + 1.
This stitch is a 6-row repeat. You’ll repeat those same 6 rows in order until the piece is as tall as you like.
The little diamonds created in this stitch are made up of that 6-row repeat. The first row you will have 1 single crochet, then next row you’ll have 3, then 5 on the following row. Then the next row you’ll go back to 3, then 1 single crochet to complete each “diamond” found in the woven lattice stitch set. This is explained in more detail in the video tutorial below.
