Please note: I am now selling all of my paper bead making tools and other items from this web site using Paypal payments.
I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon. My Kindle crochet pattern books and paper template paperback books continue to be available on Amazon, as they are printed and fulfilled directly by Amazon. A limited number of paper bead making tools remain available on Etsy but I am not linking to those tools from this site.
Crosshatch Stitch 1
From the "Harmony Guide To crochet Stitches".
To see it in the book it is on page 26.
I am not affiliated in any way with this book. I just own a copy and really like it. Plus I needed to test some yarn from Caron and I decided to combine my time to design something for the site, work on this featured stitch and test the yarn all at the same time.
