I love this stitch! No, seriously, I love it! This honeycomb trellis stitch is perfect for cotton yarns or bulky yarns. The stiffer or larger yarns help it hold its shape and keep that open feel with more structure than a lace look.
This stitch works great in a variety of projects and I will post some examples below. It works up quickly with the basic repeat of the pattern and it just uses a few basic stitches, so an advanced beginner crocheter who has a few projects under their belt can certainly manage this one.
Abbreviations
- ch – chain
- sc – single crochet
- ch sp – chain space
- sl st – slip stitch
- tc – treble crochet

Love this stitch! Thanks for the tutorial, I definitely need to use it soon, so perfect for summer.
Thanks! It is a perfect summer stitch pattern and looks so good with cotton yarn!
Love it .it’s gorgeous!Ty for sharing it x
Thanks so much!
Love this pattern but am totally confused after completing row six. Are you calling rows steps? Do I start the repeat at row 2?
Sorry, yes, you repeat rows 3-6. I have updated that above. The repeat will start at row 3 because you will be working those sc into the spaces you made in row 6. So, you work the spaces in one row, then sc in the next and so on. The main difference is just in the start and end of the rows.
I hope that helps!
