Mesh Crochet Stitch
Boho Rainbow Mesh Stitch Crochet Blanket
Hello and Welcome!
Our blanket today features the mesh stitch. If you’ve done the moss/linen stitch then this one will be right up your alley!
I’m pretty sure I saw this color scheme on a rug on Pinterest (insert shoulder shrug here) at one time and made a mental note of it so I went on a hunt in my stash for this rainbow-y boho-y vibe and Red Heart With Love was the winner.
Enjoy!
An easy muted rainbow, with a boho vibe!
What is the Mesh Stitch?
A beginner level stitch made up of single crochets and chain ones. A cousin to the moss/linen stitch, where the single crochet is worked over the chain spaces in the moss stitch, the single crochet is worked into the single crochets in the mesh stitch.
A one row repeat, this stitch creates a semi dense fabric, perfect for color work and all sorts of projects, weights and hook sizes!
Enjoy!

Want an easy way to keep track of each row? We sure do, so we include row trackers in our PDF’s! You can download that HERE. I don’t know about you, but if I don’t have something to physically check off, I spend more time counting and recounting instead of crocheting!
TIPS
While the Mesh stitch is super easy to crochet, we have a few tips for ya to make it (hopefully) smooth sailing. You can always do what works the best for you, but these are what we find to be tried and true for us!
- Fasten off and weave in ends after each color change.
- It’s best to weave in ends with a darning needle instead of crocheting over them.
- Not every blanket needs a border. Don’t be afraid to skip it!
BORDER
For this border, I did 3 Rows (HHDC) Herringbone Half Double Crochet. You could do just about any border with this though!
