- Begin your Celtic weave crochet with a multiple of 4 stitches.
Row 1
- DC in the 4th CH from the hook. DC in each ST across. Turn
Row 2
- CH 3 (Counts as DC). [SK 2, FPTR around the next 2 ST posts from the previous row below. Then go back to the first skipped stitches and work a FPTR around the first skipped stitch post. Work a FPTR around the second skipped ST]. Repeat between [ ] across until 1 ST remains. DC in the last ST. Turn
Row 3
- CH 3 (Counts as a DC). BPTR around the posts of the next 2 STS. [SK 2 STs, BPTR around the next 2 STs. Now go back to the first skipped ST and work a BPTR around the post. Work a BPTR around the second skipped ST]. Repeat between [ ] until there are 3 STs left. BPTR around the posts of the next 2 STs and DC in the last ST. Turn

Finishing
- After you work the last SC ST, cut off the yarn leaving about a 12-inch long tail. Pull the yarn tail through the last loop on the hook.
- Thread the yarn needle with the yarn tails and weave them through the crochet stitches back and forth until the yarn feels secure. Snip off the excess yarn.
