Like I said in the beginning, this is a very easy stitch that is suitable for beginners. If you’re looking to step away from basic crochet stitches to give your projects a little extra flair, this is a great stitch to learn!
You can use this easy crochet stitch variation for practically any project from blankets, to scarves to bags and more. Just make sure that your project has an even number of stitches across since the crossed double crochet stitch is worked in groups of two.
Crossed Double Crochet Instructions:
Make sure your project has an even number of stitches across. This will not work with odd numbers since you will be working in sets of 2.
- Skip the first stitch of the row.
- Make your first dc of that row in the following stitch
- Go BACK and make your second dc in the skipped stitch
Photo tutorials:
Skip first stitch.
Make a dc in the next st.
Go back and make a dc in the skipped st.
For the next set, skip the next st and make a dc in the next stitch over.
Two sets of crossed dc were made. You can see how each set forms an X.
It’s best to have a row or two of basic stitches in between rows of crossed dc.
So what did you think of this stitch? It’s pretty easy, right?
Now it’s time to find a fun project to use this stitch for! If you’re looking for inspiration, why not start with this easy and pretty mesh crochet shoulder bag? This crochet bag pattern is also beginner friendly as it uses just basic crochet stitches. Give it a try:
