Materials Needed

  • Medium-weight yarn (worsted weight – category 4)

  • Crochet hook: 5 mm (US H)

  • Scissors

  • Tapestry needle

💡 Tip: Use two contrasting colors to see the texture better.

 Stitches You Need to Know (US Terms)

  • ch – chain

  • sc – single crochet

  • dc – double crochet

👉 The relief effect is created in a very gentle way, without complicated shaping.

 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Foundation Chain

  • Chain a number that is a multiple of 4 + 2 extra chains

Example: ch 18, ch 22, ch 26

2️⃣ Row 1 – Base Row

  • sc in the second chain from the hook

  • Turn your work

This row keeps the edges neat and easy to control.

3️⃣ Row 2 – Basic Texture

  • dc in each stitch across

  • Turn your work

This creates a smooth surface and prepares the texture.

4️⃣ Row 3 – Soft Woven Effect

  • ch 2

  • dc in the first stitch

  • dc between the posts of the next two stitches (not around them, just between)

  • dc in the next stitch

  • Repeat this pattern across

  • Turn your work

✨ This small change already creates a gentle woven look.

5️⃣ Row 4 – Repeat

  • Repeat Row 2

6️⃣ Continue the Pattern

  • Change colors every 2 rows if you want more definition
