How to Crochet the Grate Stitch Photo Tutorial

The Grate Stitch crochet pattern is a light weight, mesh design perfect for those lace projects!

I love how simple this Grate stitch is. It is worked using half double crochet stitches, chain stitches and single crochet stitches. This stitch is great for the beginner and more advanced crocheter alike!

The Grate Stitch crochet pattern is a simple two row repeat and you can use the grid-like pattern in almost any design.

• To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need an even number of stitches for your foundation chain. For example, ch 30.
