How to Crochet the Mesh Wave Stitch
This awesome stitch looks the same on both sides of your work. Don’t let the number of rows intimidate you, you’ll memorize the stitch faster than you might think! This versatile stitch is perfect for crocheting a breezy summer scarf, a stylish bikini cover-up, or a tote bag. I used this stitch for to design the crochet pattern of the Wave Wall Hanging.
In this tutorial, I will guide you through 7 rows. Keep repeating rows 2 – 7 to continue crocheting. To begin the Mesh Wave Stitch, chain a multiple of 16 + 4 extra.
