Tunisian Crochet Tutorial – Lattice Stitch

Tunisian crochet lattice stitch - made using a Denise Interchangeable hook and Lily Sugar'n Cream yarn in green.

The Lattice Stitch is a lovely Tunisian crochet stitch made of a two row repeat. It is comprised of Tunisian Simple Stitches and X Stitch and looks beautiful in either a solid color or using multiple colors.

Scroll down for (left and right handed) video tutorials.

The Hook

There are a bunch of different Tunisian crochet hooks available for purchase. You can read about the hooks I use here.

Because of the nature of Tunisian crochet stitches, I recommend using a hook that is at least 2 sizes larger than the recommended hook on the yarn.

Curling

The fabric built with this stitch will curl very little.

Photo Tutorial

This stitch is made up of a two row repeat. It works up very quickly and is made up of Tunisian Simple Stitches and Tunisian X Stitches.

Row 1 – Tunisian Lattice Stitch

Step 1 – Insert hook into the vertical bar of the next 2 stitches, yarn over, pull through 2 loops -> this is a tss decrease.

Tunisian Lattice Stitch Tutorial Step 1.1 - finding the first two vertical bars

Step 2 – Find the first vertical bar of the decrease from the previous step, insert hook into that vertical bar, yarn over, pull through 1 loop.

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 across until there is one stitch remaining (the edge stitch / last stitch)

Step 3: Make the edge stitch by picking the 2 vertical bars of the last stitch of the previous row.

Step 4: Reverse Pass – ch1, (yo, pull through two loops)* all the way till the end of the row

Row 2 – Tunisian Lattice Stitch

The X stitches are staggered so we start and end with a Tunisian Simple Stitch (tss).

Step 1: tss in the next stitch.

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 across until there are two stitches remaining (the edge stitch / last stitch and the one before that)

@Zoe, thank you for marking your questions with the ***'s!

1. You will pick up the next vertical bar after the two vertical bars picked up together in step 2. You are making two stitches on top of two stitches, just in the shape of an X. Once you are done with a set of two stitches, you will move on to the next set. I hope this makes sense.

2. tss is the first stitch of every other row. This is to make sure the X stitches are staggered.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

@Arunima, Hi Arunima, I love the pattern this stitch makes and have a question on the pattern. I put*** around the question to make it visible.

Row 2 – Tunisian Lattice Stitch

The X stitches are staggered so we start and end with a Tunisian Simple Stitch (tss).

Step 1: tss in the next stitch.

Step 2: Insert hook into the vertical bar of the next 2 stitches, yarn over, pull through 2 loops -> this is a tss decrease

Step 3: Find the first vertical bar of the decrease from the previous step, insert hook into that vertical bar, yarn over, pull through 1 loop. (Same as Step 2 in previous row)***after this, is the next vertical bar of the 2nd of the two picked up together or is it the next vertical bar after the two vertical bars picked up together in in step 2?

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 across until there are two stitches remaining (the edge stitch / last stitch and the one before that)****Is tss the first st of each row, or is it the first st of every other row?

Thanks for your response. Zoe Langley
