The Celtic Weave stitch is a beautiful crochet stitch. It is more complicated than many other stitches, but once mastered, well worth the struggle!
The Celtic Weave Crochet Stitch is a crochet stitch with a lot of texture! That texture is created by working a number of cross double and triple crochet front and back post stitches.

It can be a confusing, and maybe even frustrating stitch to work. In the first few rows it is a challenge to see the pattern coming through. But as your work progress, I am sure you will be pleased with the results.
Materials:
For this tutorial I will be using the Caron x Pantone yarn by Yarnspirations along with a 6 mm crochet hook. The hook shown here and in the video below is a wooden streamline hook by Furls Crochet. However you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.
Special Stitches:
There are a couple of special stitches in this crochet pattern!
The first is the back post triple stitch: To work the back post triple stitch, yarn over twice, bring your hook to the back of your work and insert your hook around the post of the stitch.
Yarn over and draw up a loop.
Yarn over and draw through two loops on your hook three times.
The second in the front post triple stitch: To work the front post triple stitch, yarn over twice, bring your hook to the front of your work and insert your hook around the post of the stitch.
Yarn over and draw up a loop.
Yarn over and draw through two loops on your hook three times.
Celtic Weave Stitch:
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial. At the end of each row you will need to chain 3 and turn your work. This chain 3 counts as a double crochet stitch.
Don’t forget to check out the free video tutorial linked below!
To begin, make a slip knot and then chain your desired number of chains. For this stitch pattern you will need a multiple of four stitches plus three for your foundation chain (4+3).
For my swatch I will be making a foundation chain of 27 chain stitches.
Row One:
Begin your first row by working one single crochet stitch in the second chain from your hook and in each stitch all the way across. At the end of this row you will have 26 single crochet stitches.
Chain three, which counts as a double crochet stitch, and turn your work.
Row Two:
* Skip the next two stitches, work one triple stitch in each of the next two stitches.
Now working back into the stitches that you skipped, push the other two stitches back and working in in front of them, work one triple crochet stitch in the first skipped stitch, and a triple crochet in the second skipped stitch.
Repeat from * across and work one final double crochet in the final stitch.
Chain three and turn your work.
Row Three:
Skip the first stitch (at the base of your turning chain), work one back post triple stitch in each of the next two stitches.
* Skip the next two stitches and back post triple in each of the next two stitches.
Now working into the previously skipped stitches, work on back post triple stitch in the first skipped stitch and then in the second skipped stitch.
Repeat from * all the way across to your final three stitches.
Back post triple stitch in each of the next two stitches and double crochet in the final stitch.
Chain three and turn your work.
Row Four:
Sk the first stitch (at the base of your foundation chain), * skip the next two stitches. Front post triple in each of the next two stitches.
Now working back in the skipped stitches, work one front post triple stitch in the first skipped stitch and then in the second skipped stitch.
Repeat from * all the way across and double crochet into the final stitch.
And that’s it!
From here you are going to repeat rows three and four for as long as you would like.
It may not look like much, but keep going! If you are not seeing the pattern yet, do not worry. After working a couple more rows you will see the Celtic weave stitch pattern emerging.
