Step-by-step to make Crochet Pattern

This crochet pattern in your photo is a braided cable stitch (also called crochet cable braid, basket cable, or crochet Aran cable).
It is made using front post double crochet (FPdc) and crossed front-post stitches to create the twisting braid.

Here is a step-by-step tutorial so you can make the exact texture:

CROCHET BRAIDED CABLE — FULL DETAILED TUTORIAL

The pattern is a repeated cable made from crossed front-post treble crochet stitches (FPtr) and front-post double crochet (FPdc).


🧶 STITCH GUIDE (very clear)

DC (double crochet)

Yarn over → insert hook → pull up loop → YO pull through 2 → YO pull through 2.

FPdc (front post double crochet)

YO → insert hook around the post from the front side, push hook to the back → YO pull up loop → finish like dc.

FPtr (front post treble crochet)

YO twice → insert hook around post → pull up loop → YO pull through 2 × 3 times.

This is the long stitch used in the cable crossing.


🧱 PATTERN FOUNDATION

The cable repeat = 8 stitches
So make a foundation chain of:

Multiple of 8 + 4 edge stitches

For example: 28 + 4 = 32 chains (same size as your photo).


🧵 ROW 1 — Base

  1. Dc in 4th chain from hook.
  2. Dc across every chain.
  3. Turn.

This row gives posts for the cable.


🧵 ROW 2 — Create Posts for Cable Columns

  1. Ch 2 (counts as dc)
  2. Dc 2
  3. FPdc 6 (this is the 6 stitches that will form the braid)
  4. Dc 2
    → Repeat the same sequence to the end.
  5. Dc in last stitch.

Turn.

💡 Nothing twists yet—just forming vertical columns.


🧵 ROW 3 — FIRST CABLE TWIST (Detailed Crossing)

⭐ This is the most important row.
You will cross 3 posts over 3 posts.

  1. Ch 2
  2. Dc 2

🔀 CROSSING PART (VERY DETAILED)

  • Skip the first 3 posts (posts A, B, C).
  • Work 3 FPtr around the next 3 posts (D, E, F).
    These stitches lean right.
  • Now go back to posts A, B, C.
  • Work 3 FPtr around these skipped posts.
    These stitches lean left.

✔ You now have an “X” braid shape.

  1. Dc 2
    → Repeat across.
  2. Dc in last stitch.

Turn.


🧵 ROW 4 — Lock the Cable Vertically

  1. Ch 2
  2. Dc 2
  3. FPdc 6 (no crossing)
  4. Dc 2
    → Repeat
  5. Dc in last stitch.

Turn.


🧵 ROW 5 — Vertical Row (Same as Row 4)

Repeat:

  • Ch 2
  • Dc 2
  • FPdc 6
  • Dc 2

Turn.


🧵 ROW 6 — NEXT CABLE TWIST

Repeat Row 3 exactly:

  • Skip 3 posts
  • 3 FPtr in next 3 posts
  • 3 FPtr in skipped posts (cross)
  • Dc 2

Turn.


🔁 REPEAT ROWS 3–6 FOR THE SAME TEXTURE AS YOUR PHOTO

Every 4 rows, the cable twists again.

This creates:

✔ Deep thick braids
✔ Raised vertical lines
✔ 3D cable texture
✔ Exactly the same pattern in your image
