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 β€” 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 β†’ insert hook β†’ pull up loop β†’ YO pull through 2 β†’ YO pull through 2.

FPdc (front post double crochet)

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

FPtr (front post treble crochet)

YO twice β†’ insert hook around post β†’ pull up loop β†’ YO pull through 2 Γ— 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 β€” Base

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

This row gives posts for the cable.


🧡 ROW 2 β€” 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
    β†’ Repeat the same sequence to the end.
  5. Dc in last stitch.

Turn.

πŸ’‘ Nothing twists yetβ€”just forming vertical columns.


🧡 ROW 3 β€” 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

πŸ”€ 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.

βœ” You now have an β€œX” braid shape.

  1. Dc 2
    β†’ Repeat across.
  2. Dc in last stitch.

Turn.


🧡 ROW 4 β€” Lock the Cable Vertically

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

Turn.


🧡 ROW 5 β€” Vertical Row (Same as Row 4)

Repeat:

  • Ch 2
  • Dc 2
  • FPdc 6
  • Dc 2

Turn.


🧡 ROW 6 β€” 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.


πŸ” REPEAT ROWS 3–6 FOR THE SAME TEXTURE AS YOUR PHOTO

Every 4 rows, the cable twists again.

This creates:

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