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.

Random Quick Tip!
Threading Needles for Hand StitchingWhen doing any hand stitching, that will take more than one threaded needle, thread 5 or 6 needles at a time for quick ending and starting of your lengths of thread.
