The double sided mesh stitch crochet pattern is a wonderful crochet pattern where each side looks completely different from the other.
The result is a double sided fabric that is eye-catching and equally beautiful on both sides.
The Double Sided Mesh crochet pattern is worked using easy crochet stitches. You will begin by working the first side of the fabric as shown below. Here it is similar to a granny stripe pattern.
The second side of the fabric as shown below is worked over top of the first and is interconnected as you go. As you can see I have worked the sides in different colours which gives it anamazing look!
The sky is the limit when it comes to designs with this stitch pattern. While it would look wonderful in blankets, I would also be tempted to try it in reversible wearables.
The Materials:
For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of the Basic Stitch Anti Pilling yarn by Lion Brand in in two different colours. It is a soft worsted weight 100% acrylic yarn. The hook shown in the video below is a 5 mm Furls Metal Streamline Hook in the colour Blush. You may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.

Double Sided Mesh Crochet Pattern:
Ch – Chain Stitch
Dc – Double Crochet
Rpt – Repeat
Sc – Single Crochet Stitch
Sl St – Slip Stitch
Yo – Yarn Over
Pattern Notes:
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in two different colours. I will work side one in colour A and then switch to colour B for side two.
This pattern is written using American crochet terms.
To begin make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch you will need a multiple of five stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, with colour A, ch 30.
Side One (In colour A):
Row One:
Dc in the 4th ch from your hook, dc in the next st, ch 2, sk the next 2 sts, dc in the next st, dc in each of the next 2 sts, *ch 2, sk the next 2 sts and dc in each of the next 3 sts; Rpt from * across until dc in each of the final 3 sts, ch 5, turn.
Row Two:
3 dc in the next ch-2 sp, *ch 2, sk the next next 3 dc, 3 dc in the next ch-2 sp; Rpt from * across ending with a ch-2, dc in the top of your turning ch. ch 3, turn.
Row Three:
2 dc in the 1st ch-2 sp, *ch 2, sk the next 3 dc, 3 dc in the next ch-2 sp; Rpt from * across ending with 3 dc in the final ch-5 sp.
And that’s it for side one!
Repeat rows two and three for the pattern. I ended with a repeat of row three. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
Side Two (In colour B):
With colour B, join yarn in the bottom (right) corner.
Row One:
Ch 7, *sc in the next ch-sp of the foundation ch, ch 7; repeat from * across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
Work 3 sc in the 1st ch 7, mark the 3rd st with a stitch marker, sc in the 2nd dc of row one, *ch 7, working under the next ch-7, sc into the 2nd dc of the next set of 3 dc; Rpt from * across. Ch 7, turn.
Row Three:
Sc in the 2nd st of the next set of 3 dc and under the ch-7, *ch 7, sc into the 2nd sc of the next set or 3 dc working under your chain; Rpt from * across ending with a sc in the 3rd (marked) st at the end of the row. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it for side two (Until you come to the final row of side one):
Repeat rows two and three for the pattern until you come to the final row of side one. Then proceed as follows:
For Final row:
Ch 3, sc in the top of the 1st st, *sc in the next st also working under the chain loop, sc in the next st, work two sc in the next ch-2 sp, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across.
Fasten off, weave in your ends.
