Colosseum Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial
This is not an official crochet stitch but a stitch pattern or stitch combination that I created and named. I thought the gaps looked like the arches of the Roman Colosseum.
The Colosseum stitch uses the chain, single crochet, and double crochet to create a sturdy mesh stitch.
