The Parquet Crochet Stitch is a beautiful open-lace stitch. The great thing about the Parquet Stitch is how versatile it is. It makes a great fabric for a market bag, but also for a shawl or scarf.
The Parquet Stitch looks like an advanced technique yet is very easy to learn. It uses simple stitches and only a two-row repeat. Once mastered it is one of those great stitches just made for binge watching.
This tutorial uses a bulky cotton yarn with a 6.5mm crochet hook.
