The back loop will be now in front of you as you turned your work – it’s the unworked loop on the same row. Round 2: X St in first front loop only (FLO) and every St to end of row. Row 1: X St in second Ch from hook and every Ch to end of row (27). You will know the start/end of a round by the location of the yarn tail from foundation chain.

It would look great on baskets or bags or anything where you can use a bulky yarn and crochet in the round. And that’s not consistent enough and won’t be really visible.Īlso, the texture of cross stitch will come out better if you use a bulkier yarn such as at least medium worsted, bulky or super bulky yarn. If you crochet in back and forth rows you will only see the cross stitch every second row and every other row you will see a normal single crochet. On the other side, it will look like a normal single crochet stitch.įor this reason, you will need to go in the round to make this stitch consistently visible in every row. The nature of the cross stitch crochet is that it will only be visible on one side, which is the right side (the side you see in front of you when working on a row). However, it will only work when crocheted in the round. Cross stitch is a unique crochet stitch that creates an interesting pattern. ![]()
