How to Crochet the Cross Over Stitch Photo Tutorial

The Cross Over Stitch is a unique crochet stitch pattern that almost creates the look of a mock cable. There are actually a lot of stitches that can be known as “cross” stitches.

But this is a specific stitch with a specific pattern to it. We’ll be making sets of 3 double crochet, and then doing a special stitch that crosses over those 3.

If that sounds confusing now, don’t worry!

Learn how to crochet the Cross Over Stitch with this photo tutorial.

Materials

• Worsted Weight Yarn (I used caron simply soft)
• H/5mm crochet hook
• Yarn Needle

Abbreviations

ch - chain

sc - single crochet

dc - double crochet

ea - each

Notes

• Stitch multiple is 4+3
• If you prefer to start with fsc, the multiple will be 4+2 (since you don’t need a turning chain on the first row)
• Chain 1 at beginning of rows does not count as a stitch
• Chain 3 at beginning of rows counts as a dc

Instructions

Chain 27 (or any multiple of 4+3).

Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and ea ch across, turn.

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as a dc) sk next st. *Dc in next 3 sts. Working over 3 dc just made, dc in skipped stitch. Rep from * across the row, until 1 st left. Dc in last st, turn.

Row 3: Ch 1, sc in ea st across.

Repeat rows 2-3 for as long as you’d like!
