The crochet lace stitch patterns are also made up row multiples, ranging from 1-2 row repeat to many more, like 8-16.
The open stitch gaps in these types of crochet patterns are usually made up using chain spaces, while the stitches are usually basic crochet stitches like the chain stitch (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc) and treble crochet (tr).
