When you crochet the mesh two rows at the same time, it goes much faster. The technique is simple to learn. I have both a video and written instructions on how to crochet it. You can use crocheted mesh in so many ways.

• Scarf, shawl, poncho
• Blanket, baby blanket, afghan
• Tote bag, beach bag. See an example of a tote bag here!
• Kitchen cloth, face cloth
• Coaster, table runner
• Curtain
• Beach wrap
• Rug

Many of these items can also be made using left-over yarn. Here I have crocheted a piece out of tiny balls of yarn I had.

You find written instructions below the video!

Instructions: How to crochet 2-row mesh

You can crochet the mesh in any yarn, the size of the spaces depends on the weight of your yarn. Use a hook that goes with the yarn.

Any length of a chain + chain 8

Starting row

2 yarn-overs, insert the hook into the 5th stitch from the hook. Pull up a loop. Yarn-over, hook through 2 loops, leave the rest of the loops on the hook (3 loops on the hook). Yarn-over, skip 3 chains, hook in the next chain. Pull up a loop. (See image) (Yarn-over, hook through 2 loops) 4 times.

*Chain 1, 2 yarn-overs, insert hook into 2 loops in the middle of the previous stitch, pull up a loop, yarn-over, hook through 2 loops, leave the rest of the loops on the hook. Yarn-over, skip 1 chain, hook into the next chain, pull up a loop. (Yarn-over, through 2 loops) 4 times.*
Repeat from * to * until the end of your chain.

Row 2

Chain 7, turn. 2 yarn-overs, insert hook into the 5th stitch from the hook. Pull up a loop. Yarn-over, hook through 2 loops, leave the rest of the loops on the hook. Yarn-over, hook into the top of the stitch of previous row, pull up a loop. (Yarn-over, hook through 2 loops) 4 times.

*Chain 1, 2 yarn-overs, insert hook into 2 loops in the middle of the previous stitch, pull up a loop, yarn-over, hook through 2 loops, leave the rest of the loops on the hook. Yarn-over, hook into the stitch of previous row, pull up a loop. (Yarn-over, hook through 2 loops) 4 times.*
Repeat from * to * until the end of the row.

Repeat row 2 until your project is the size you want.
