Ruled Lattice Crochet Stitch Pattern
The ruled lattice stitch is a series of straight lines (rows of single crochet stitches) which alternate with rows of Vs. It is not a difficult pattern but you must be able to recognize the stitches and therefore I recommend it for those stitchers with some experience. Most of the stitches in this pattern are single crochet and chain stitches.
Any weight yarn with the appropriate size crochet hook. Our sample was made using worsted weight yarn and a size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook.
Abbreviations:
ch = chain
dc = double crochet
rep = repeat
sc = single crochet
sk = skip
sp = space
st(s) = stitch (es)
tch = turning chain
Multiple of 4 sts + 1 (add 1 for base chain)
Row 1 (right side): Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across, turn
Row 2: Ch 7, sk first 2 sts, sc into next st, *ch 7, sk 3 sts, sc into next st; rep from * to last 2 sts, ch 3, sk 1 st, dc into last st, sk tch, turn
Row 3: Ch 1, sc into ch 3 sp, *ch 3, sc into next 7 ch arch; rep from * to end, turn
Row 4: Ch 1, sc into first st, *3 sc into next ch 3 arch, sc into next sc; rep from * to end, sk tch, turn.
Repeat rows 2 through 4.
Check that you have the correct number of stitches at the end of every 4th row.
