How to crochet a woven stitch

In this DROPS Video we show how you can crochet a woven stitch. We are showing this decorative crochet texture, which can be applied to many crochet projects. Start by working a chain row with an even number of chain stitches. Work a dc in 2nd ch from hook, *ch1, skip 1 ch, dc in next ch, repeat from * across, turn. Row 1: ch 1, skip 1st dc, *dc in ch sp, ch1, skip 1dc, repeat from * across, end row with dc in turning ch at beg of prev row, turn. Repeat row 1 for pattern. The trick as you keep working is to always keep inserting hook between the stitches, which looks like v's on previous row. You must read the pattern to be able to follow.

We've already worked 5 rows of 33 dc and assembled piece with 1 sl st so that when we start working we work round. * Work 1 dc in back loop of each of the next 7 sts, 1 tr in front loop of st from 2 rows below next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round. Pattern is over 8 sts and no of sts are divisible by 8 + 1. Work in the round without finishing the round, this way the pattern will automatically displace 1 st on every round and form a spiral pattern.
