The Celtic Weave stitch is probably the hardest stitch of the entire crochet along. Its a beautiful cable stitch that looks like woven strands. Its a thick stitch that makes beautiful and never fails to stun.

The Pattern
For this square you will need a 4 mm hook
Chain 32
Row 1. In the 4th chain from your hook (turning chain counts as a stitch) make a dc. Dc in each chain across – 30 stitches
Turn
Row 2. Chain 1 and make the alternate turning chain in the first stitch. *Skip 2 stitches and make a front post treble crochet in the next 2 stitches. Go back to the 2 skipped stitches and make a front post treble crochet (fptr) in the first skipped stitch, working in front of the previous stitches, then make another in the second skipped stitch*
Repeat between *and* then dc in the last stitch.
Turn
Row 3. Chain 1 and make the alternate turning chain in the first stitch. Make a back post treble crochet (bptr) around the next two stitches. *skip the next 2 stitches and make a bptr around the next 2 stitches. Go back to the skipped stitches and make bptrs first around the first skipped stitch, then around the 2nd. You need to work behind the first 2 bptr you made so that you start creating the woven effect*
To get to the skipped switches you will need to work in front of the previous stitches. If you’re not sure how to do this I recommend watching the video. You will find this part around 9 minutes in.
Repeat between *and* ending with 2 bptr around the last 2 fptr in the row below, then dc in the last stitch of the row.
Turn
Rows 4 – 15. repeat rows 2 and 3
The Border
Use a 3.5mm hook for the border
Across the top and bottom make 1 sc in each stitch.
For the sides make 2 sc in the side of each row
