Crochet Basics: Crossed Double Stitch

In this tutorial I will show you how to crochet this crossed double crochet pattern. It's a simple and pretty pattern with a combination of fixed and solid stitches.

The composition of the stitch is very reminiscent of the beaded construction of the top mentioned above. I also love this stitch because its appearance changes depending on the yarn and crochet hook. Another endearing factor about this stitch is that the construction is really simple. Two rows of solid stitches combined with one row of crossed double crochet (cdc). Repeat those three rows and you can do anything! Have fun!

Stitch Abbreviations

ch – chain (ca – cadeneta)

sc- single crohet (pb – punto bajo)

cdc – crossed double crochet (pac – punto alto cruzado)

To make a cdc – skip 1 stitch, dc in the next. Make 1 dc in the stitch that you skipped.

Let’s Crochet.

To crochet the crossed double crochet stitch pattern flat, ch in multiples of two and add a 1ch for turning. For this sample I have chained 12 + 1 = 13. Once you have chained accordingly:

R1 – sc in the second ch from the hook, sc in each stitch. ch1 and turn //

R2 – sc in each stitch. ch1 and turn. //

R3 – dc, cdc leaving last one unworked, dc in last stitch. Ch and turn. //

These 3 rows form our pattern repeat.
