Video Tutorial: Mesh Crochet Pattern Stitch

Abbreviations

DC - Double Crochet
CH - Chain

Row 1: DC in the 4th CH from the hook, DC in the next CH. *Skip 2 chains. 1 DC in ea of the next 2 chains. Continue across from * for the width, ending with 2 DC on the edge.

Row 2: Chain 2 or 3 depending on your starting chain preference. DC in the next DC. *CH 2, Skip the chain space. 1 DC in each of the next 2 double crochet. Continue across from * for the width, ending with 2 DC on the edge.

You can continue with row 2 for the length or add a variation with 2 double crochet in each chain 2 space filling in the blocks. When you add the row of mesh stitches to the top of the double crochet row, the two double crochet should align with the previous double crochet on the mesh row. See Diagram with Red block.
