Jessica Cooper Learn how to work the Celtic Weave Stitch in the round with written instructions, photos, and video guidance by Crochet It Creations.
The Celtic (pronounced with a hard K in front) Weave Stitch is a woven cable pattern. It uses post stitches to cross in front and behind other stitches. This video is working the Celtic Weave Stitch in the round, if you are looking for a tutorial for flat back and forth rows, see post HERE.
To begin the Celtic Weave pattern, chain any multiple of 4. Work rounds 1 – 3 below and repeat rounds 2 & 3 until reaching desired length. There are multiple steps to each round. See video and photos below for guidance.
If you wish to work the Celtic Weave Christmas Stocking from the video below, see the pattern HERE.
