Cross Stitch
Also known as: Crossed dc
Two double crochets that cross over each other, creating an X pattern. Adds visual interest with minimal complexity.
How to Cross Stitch
1. Skip 1 stitch, dc in the next stitch.
2. Dc in the SKIPPED stitch (working in front of the dc you just made).
3. The two dc stitches now cross, forming an X.
💡 Pro Tips
The second dc goes IN FRONT of the first. Keep consistent tension so the crosses look even. Works beautifully as an allover pattern.
