How to Crochet the Trellis Stitch Tutorial
This stitch uses post stitches and v-stitches to create a neat trellis effect! When I asked for name suggestions, some said it also looked like a garden gate.
Which I actually loved! But “Garden gate stitch” just didn’t sound right. So Trellis Stitch is second best!
