You will want to try this Raindrop Lace crochet pattern as it would make a beautiful lacy shawl or crochet top!
The Raindrop Lace crochet stitch pattern is a beautiful, lacy design that reminds me of raindrops on a windowpane!
The little “droplets” are staggered and run vertically along the fabric. The design is created using basic crochet stitches and is an easy one row repeat!
The Materials:
For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in a single colour. It is a medium/worsted weight yarn that is a wool blend. Along with my worsted weight yarn, I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.

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 a single colour.
This pattern is written in 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, plus 4 more (5 + 4) for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 34.
Row One:
Dc in the 4th ch from your hook, ch 1, *sk the next 2 sts, dc in the next st, sk the next st, [dc, ch-1, dc] in the next st, ch 1; Rpt from * across until 5 sts remain, sk the next 2 sts, dc in the next st, sk the next st, 2 dc in the final st. Ch 3, turn.
Row Two:
Dc in the 1st st, ch 1, *dc in the next ch-1 sp, [dc, ch 1, dc] in the next ch-1 sp, ch 1; Rpt from * across ending with a dc in the final ch-1 sp, 2 dc in the turning ch-3 sp. Ch 3, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern, simply repeat row 2. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
