Introduction

Crocheting is a relaxing and creative hobby that many people enjoy. It allows you to create beautiful and unique items, such as baby blankets. In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a beautiful lace stitch for a baby blanket or any other project of your choice.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project. You will need:

• Caron Simply Soft yarn
• G/4.25mm crochet hook

Make sure you have these materials ready before we proceed to the next steps.

Starting the Stitch

To begin the lace stitch, we need to create a foundation chain. The stitch is a multiple of 11 plus 3, so you can adjust the number of chains based on the desired width of your project. For this tutorial, we will start with a chain of 36.

Row 1: Making Double Crochets

In the first row, we will be making double crochets. Starting from the sixth chain from the hook, make three double crochets. Continue this pattern of making three double crochets, skipping four chains, and repeating until the end of the row.

Row 2: Adding Chains and Single Crochets

In the second row, we will be adding chains and single crochets to create the lace pattern. Start with two chains and turn your work. Make three double crochets in the first double crochet from the previous row. Then, skip four double crochets and make a single crochet in the space between two groups of three double crochets. Continue this pattern until the end of the row.

Row 3: Continuing the Pattern

In the third row, we will continue the lace pattern. Start with two chains and turn your work. Make three double crochets in the first double crochet from the previous row. Then, skip four double crochets and make a single crochet in the space between two groups of double crochets. Continue this pattern until the end of the row.

Row 4: Creating the Gaps

In the fourth row, we will be creating the gaps in the lace pattern. Start with two chains and turn your work. Make one double crochet in the first double crochet from the previous row. Then, make three chains and skip the next two double crochets. Make a single crochet in the space between two groups of double crochets. Continue this pattern until the end of the row.

Row 5: Repeating the Pattern

In the fifth row, we will repeat the pattern from the previous rows. Start with two chains and turn your work. Make three double crochets, skip four double crochets, and make a single crochet in the designated spaces. Continue this pattern until the end of the row.

Row 6: The Same as Row 5

Row six is the same as row five, so simply repeat the pattern from the previous row. This will continue to build on the lace pattern you have created.

Row 7: More Double Crochets and Single Crochets

In the seventh row, we will be adding more double crochets and single crochets to the pattern. Start with two chains and turn your work. Make three double crochets, skip the chain spaces, and make a single crochet in the designated spaces. Continue this pattern until the end of the row.

Continuing the Pattern

From this point onwards, you will continue the pattern by repeating rows 2 to 7. This will create a beautiful lace stitch for your baby blanket or any other project you are working on. Repeat these rows until your project reaches the desired length.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have learned how to make a beautiful lace stitch for a baby blanket or any other project. Crocheting can be a fun and rewarding hobby, and this stitch adds a delicate and elegant touch to your creations. Enjoy the process of crocheting and create something beautiful for yourself or your loved ones.
