 Hey guys, Tashi here from Start of School Crochet. This week's Saturday Stitch Explore tutorial is a pretty picket mesh. It's a pretty simple two row repeat. It repeats row two and three. I'm using a 4.5 millimeter hook and ship is in the color of 810 and I don't know the fancy name for it, but you work in multiples of six, you add five and then add one more for the foundation chain. So for my chain, I did 18 and then I added five plus one at the end and the first stitch of row one is worked into the second chain from the hook and we do a single crochet and then we're going to chain three. We're going to skip four of those chains after we do our chain three. You skip one, two, three and four and we're going to work into the fifth doing a picket stitch and the picket stitch for this pattern is a single crochet, a chain three and then a single crochet into the same chain. After you work your first picket, this is where our repeat starts. So we're going to chain three, the beginning of our repeat, skip five chains, one, two, three, four, five and then work a picket into the next chain. So our pickets are single crochet, chain three, single crochet, all into the same chain and you repeat that across the entire row. So I went ahead and I worked through this all because just to get you guys going with the first row, once you get the hang of this, it's super easy. It's a great stitch. So chain three, skip five, work a picket into the next chain. When we get to the end, we're going to skip four. You should have five chains left on the row. So finish out your chain three after your last picket, skip four and work into the fifth, a single crochet and there's our row one. So for row two we're going to chain one, turn it and then single crochet into the first stitch and our repeat starts immediately. So this is our repeat. We're going to chain three, we're going to skip that chain three and then we're going to pick it two into the same chain three arch from the last round. So you work your picket with a single crochet, chain three and then single crochet all in the same and when you repeat try not to do a chain three between after the picket because it can be easy to do that. I've done it a few times. So there's our repeat. So after we complete our second picket we're going to chain three, skip that one and skip on over and work our two pickets into the arch of the previous picket. A repeat and then we're almost finished with this row. So we're going to do our last two pickets into that last arch and when we get to the end we're going to work a chain three, we're going to skip that last chain three and then we're going to single crochet into the last stitch. So there's your row two. Pretty easy, huh? And so for row three we're going to chain six and this one counts as a double crochet and a chain three. So we're going to turn our work and then skip our first chain three and we're going to be working into the picket arches and this one is an easy row. You just insert your hook into that picket arch right there in the center, do a single crochet and then you're going to chain three and work a single crochet into the next picket arch. So it's super easy and that repeats across this entire row and you obviously you skip the chain threes in between and go straight into the next picket arch. But don't forget to do your chain three between because again I did that a couple times. Single crochet, chain three, single crochet in the next picket or the arch of the picket. Again I'm working through these rows with you guys just so you can get the hang of it. It doesn't have to be, it's like what is it called? It's a marathon, not a race. So when we get to the end of that row we're going to work a double crochet into the last stitch. So there you have our rows two and three which is our repeat row. But row two varies slightly from the row two at the beginning so we're going to have to show you how to do, I'm going to have to show you how to do that. So we're going to start row two again, chaining one and turning and then working into the first stitch and then I'm going to skip to the end and show you guys how to work the row two repeat and this is what you're going to do throughout. So once you get to the end of row two it's going to have a chain six there. So instead of the way we did it previously you're going to work into the fourth chain and do a single crochet and close it out like that. And then the rest of the pattern is nothing changes. Just the ending of row two changes for your repeats of row two and three and that's it. So you do that repeating row two and three until you get your desired height for whatever project you're working on and I love this stitch. I hope you guys love it too. I didn't know so pretty picket mesh that's the name. I'm sticking with it. Anyway leave a comment below if you have any questions. Hit that little bell button.
