How to Crochet the Diagonal Lattice Crochet Stitch

The diagonal lattice crochet stitch effortlessly introduces texture to your project. Whether you incorporate it as a section within a blanket or crochet an entire blanket with it, once you grasp the pattern, it becomes quite manageable. After learning the fundamental crochet stitches, delving into new techniques might be something you want to try. The diagonal lattice crochet pattern uses post stitches to create a distinct texture and appearance.

For those participating in the Adventure Blanket CAL, this tutorial offers written instructions along with a video guide. If you’re up for a bit of adventure, why not give it a try?

WHAT IS THE ADVENTURE BLANKET?

Think of the choose-your-own-adventure books!

When we were brainstorming for a good theme for our CAL, I asked Helen what she thought of using that concept to create something as unique as each crocheter is.

We hashed out a lot of details and have a fun and amazing blanket for you to create.
