Criss Cross Crochet Stitch | Crochet with Aabhar
Criss Cross Crochet stitch is a simple 2 row repeat pattern with a motif that’s just 2 stitch long with crossing double crochet stitches. It looks like criss-crossing yarn over a corded rope.
The pattern is a little bit stiff with overlapping and looping yarn, but it has a lot of open spaces.
