The Iris Stitch crochet pattern is one of those easy crochet stitches that every crocheter should have in their library.

The Iris Stitch is a classic double crochet shell stitch pattern. It's constructed by working double crochet and chain stitches into the spaces of the shells below. The pattern creates a beautiful lace that can be worked in almost any weight of yarn. I've seen the pattern used in a variety of crochet patterns including lacy shawls and bulky blankets.

This crochet pattern is written using American crochet terms.

A free written copy of this crochet pattern can be found on my website: https://richtexturescrochet.com/iris-stitch-how-to-crochet/

For this tutorial I will be using a small amount of a worsted weight yarn in a single colour and a 5mm crochet hook.
