Fun open weave crochet pattern made up of single crochet and chain stitches. Includes instructions to make picots. They are easier than you may think. Although this is not a difficult crochet pattern, I would not recommend it for beginners as you do need to be able to recognize the stitches and read a pattern.

Any weight yarn with the appropriate size crochet hook. Our sample was made using worsted weight yarn and a size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook.
