How to Honeycomb Mesh Stitch a Crochet Scarf
The honeycomb mesh stitch is an openwork crochet stitch ideal for making market bags, yoga mat bags and shawls. To work a honeycomb mesh stitch, you will need to know the chain, double-crochet and chain in space stitches, which are abbreviated in patterns as ch, dc and ch sp. Honeycomb mesh stitch gets its name because it looks like a net made of hexagonal holes. Create a scarf inspired by the patterns of nature using the honeycomb mesh stitch.
