Every so often a stitch shows up online that looks a lot harder than it actually is. This one is exactly that kind of stitch.

Easy Crochet Hub shared this pattern worked up in a soft pink, made with an open, boxy mesh that looks a little like connected granny clusters. It only takes one row to repeat, so once you learn it, the rest of the blanket goes by fast.

Because the stitch is so open, it works well for lighter blankets, baby blankets, or even a summer wrap. It has a homemade-boutique look without much extra effort on your part.

This is a nice next step if you have already made a granny square before and want to try something with a bit more texture. It would also pair nicely with the technique in our easy shell stitch baby blanket post if you want to compare two open, lacy looks side by side.

Pattern Notes From the Comments

A few people asked for the stitch breakdown in the comments, and Easy Crochet Hub replied with this rundown herself (this is from the video's comment section, not written by us, but it's a handy reference to have while you watch):

“Edge chain 4, double crochet 3, chain, skip 4, into 1 double crochet, chain 3, 4 double crochets in the next space. Row 2 repeats Row 1, the only difference is the 4th double crochet from the front.”

A Few Tips Before You Start

• Pick a lighter weight yarn. DK or worsted weight keeps the look open and airy instead of heavy.
• Count your stitches early. This stitch is easy to lose track of, so check your count after the first couple of rows.
• Size up your hook. A slightly bigger hook than you'd normally reach for makes the mesh even lacier.
• Read the pinned comments before you start, other crocheters often ask the same questions you'll have.
