How to Crochet Diamond Mesh Stitch

I’ve always wanted to know how to crochet Diamond Mesh Stitch. Funny enough, I once tried it as a border for one of my blankets, but let’s just say, it did not work out as planned.

Some of the characteristics of the mesh crochet stitch are:

it’s a chain- like;
open crochet stitch;
totally reversible;
also known as Chain Mesh stitch;
suitable for beginner crocheters; and
is a 2-row repeat pattern.

The pattern is a combination of single crochet stitches as well as chains (US terms).

That is it – a very easy and time-saving crochet pattern.

In previous posts, I shared the following crochet stitches:
