How to Crochet the Blended Mesh Stitch Photo Tutorial
If you are looking for a crochet stitch with a small, lightweight pattern to it, you will definitely want to try this Blended Mesh Stitch crochet pattern!
Many times, when you see a crochet mesh worked, the stitches are stacked directly on top of one another to create the open design.
In this mesh pattern the stitches are staggered slightly to give it a more interesting and varied look. It almost looks like little cluster stitches! The stitches used in the pattern include single crochet and half double crochet which makes the holes in the fabric smaller and closer together. It has a more dainty look!
I would use this Blended Mesh Crochet Stitch pattern in any project that you are hoping to keep a lighter weight. Perhaps a summer cardigan or a slouchy market bag!
