There’s nothing quite like a garden trellis full of blooming flowers in springtime. With bobble flowers and textured diamond stitches, you can recreate the texture and style of that with the Flower Trellis Stitch! This unique and beautiful crochet color work stitch uses a combination of texture and 3D effects, to make a stitch that is one of a kind. It’s perfect for crochet wraps or even garments! In this blog post I’ll teach you all about how to make it for yourself, so let’s get started!

When I was first learning how to do crochet color work, I often felt so lost having to learn how to do color changes and reading crochet graphs. It can seem so intimidating to learn a new crochet skill! If you’re new to tapestry crochet or color work, then I’ve got just the resource for you.
Here on my blog, I’ve got two free crochet tutorials for how to do tapestry crochet and intarsia crochet, which are the two most common crochet color work techniques. They’ll walk you through what each technique is, how to read crochet graphs, how to change colors in crochet, and a bunch of other tips I have for color work! You can find them here on my blog at:
– The Beginner’s Guide to Tapestry Crochet: (This technique is used when you would like to carry your yarn, and the color work is close together.)
– The Beginner’s Guide to Intarsia Crochet:This technique is used when you don’t want to carry your yarn, and instead would like to use yarn bobbins. I used this technique for the Flower Trellis Stitch)
This crochet stitch pattern is a part of the Stitch Exploration Event with Joy of Motion, Knitting With Chopsticks, and I! Throughout the month of June, we have put together 30 crochet stitches, with one releasing each day. They are all designed to help you grow your crochet skills, and range from lace stitches, to simple, to color work ones!

This is the most difficult stitch pattern I’ve ever worked on (and I’ve been crocheting for more than 30 years). Your article states there is a video tutorial, but there is no connection to it. Also, I don’t see a tapestry chart for this pattern. Am I missing something?
Claire Goodale | 20th Jun 20
I have not been able to release the video tutorial due to having a hard time with moving the last few days, and had to handle a lot of things personally. The video tutorial for the stitch will be posted tomorrow, and will walk through the different steps of the stitch. If you would like a photo tutorial for the stitch, pdf copy in the stitch bundle includes step by step photos for it.
Right now there is no stitch chart for it because it isn’t a traditional color work stitch. Would you like me to make one?

Oh, I am so sorry to have bothered you. I know how difficult it can be to have to move (my dad was an itinerant minister, and we had to move every few years, wherever the Bishop sent us). I will look for the video tutorial in the next day or two. And, if you have time, I would appreciate a chart. I know how busy you are at this time. God bless you, and have a safe move!
