What better pattern to share for Easter than a cross. This pretty cross is made using a small steel hook and cotton crochet thread. I am so in love with how it came out! You can add a loop at the top for hanging, add a tassel for a bookmark, or even add some beads for a little color.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.”

For best results, I recommend blocking these crosses. If desired you can also brush the finished cross with either a homemade or store-bought stiffener. For stiffening instructions, see my Star of Bethlehem pattern.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. — John 3:16-17
This is a beautiful crochet pattern!
Hi, Can I get this pattern on a PDF page ?? or print it somplace?? thanks
I am trying my best not to get frustrated, especially since I paid for the download on Ravelry. However I am not able to get past where I completed the 4 arms (row 2). I have tried several times and cannot make heads or tails on how to go from that to the next row. Nothing seems to work right. Will there ever be a video tutorial? Did I miss it somewhere?
I had the same problem Michelle. I put the project aside for months. But, determined to make this beautiful cross, I tried again. Part of the problem for me, in moving on to round 3, was that I was misunderstanding some of the instructions in round 2. For example, when she says, “ work 2 Lsc over sts from previous round and into each of the next 3 ch sp from Foundation,” I was reading too many steps/stitches into this. More straightforwardly stated, you would simply say, “work 2LC in each of the next 3 ch sp…” Doing this, the 3rd ch sp always took me just under the base of the next arm (or point). I’m not sure which sc we are meant to skip, to work up the arm, I just began at the base, making sure that I had 6 slip stitches ending just below the chain 5 sp. Keeping these things in mind, I moved on to round 3 with relative ease. The tricky part there is to carefully read the instructions when you return to the ch 5 sp, now occupied by the puff stitches from round 2. The way they are written, it’s easy to miss a step. Likewise, it’s important to catch the “p” outside of the bracketed instructions. That’s the picot, which she describes in the “special stitches” section. I hope this helps!
I also loved this cross. I was able to follow the pattern. After doing this pattern, I have a few notes to share: Many are having trouble going from foundation round to round 1 OR from round 1 to round 2. Keep these things in mind: those Lsc (long single crochets) will be going into the same stitches or spaces over and over – especially the foundation round chain spaces and the “arms” of the cross (chain spaces in the foundation round and stitches in the “arms”). You may want to crochet a bit looser – especially doing the “arms” during round 1. The 4 arms are created in round 1 when you do all those chains: 3 of them with the chain 12 and the longer arm with the chain 20:. When you do one of those “arms” “ch 12, sl st in 6th ch from hook and each of the next 6 ch” you’re basically chaining up 6 stitches and then slip stitching back down to the foundation round and then continuing to work into the foundation round chain spaces. Those Lsc (long single crochets) will get “longer” and “longer” as you go since they get worked into the same areas over and over again. I found it a little hard to work those Lsc’s into the stitches on the “arms” – maybe because I was crocheting a bit tight there. I sometimes pulled/stretched the “arms” a bit and used a separate smaller hook to open the space/stitch where I was suppose to go so I could see it better. Also, when it says to “join”, I used a slip stitch. I took some pics of my progress, but I don’t know how to upload them here. I hope this helps.
Here are some pics:
https://www.ravelry.com/projects/jawhalen/lacy-cross
Thank you! Your pictures helped me to finally figure this out! Yeah.
As many are saying, this pattern does not work according to the instructions from foundation row to Row 1 and 2. What are we suppose to do now? You need to look at the directions. There is apparently a row missing. 😆
The pattern is correct as written but I can understand that the jump from Round 1 to 2 can be hard to understand at first. You are essentially chaining to create the four bars of the cross. You can check the finished projects on Ravelry to see if anyone included any helpful tips for completing theirs: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lacy-cross-5/people
I have to guess where to place the beads as well as adding the ends of ties of the cross at the top and the bottom like it is in the photo. Wondering it it has a tassel on the bottom hanging.
I have taught/am teaching myself to crochet. I have been making cross bookmarks as gifts. I love this cross and paid for the ad free download. I managed my way through round one. But, I’m really stuck on round two. I think I get the long single crochet concept and thought I was doing OK until I got to the “skip 1st sc at beginning of point…” I am now thoroughly confused. I think I understand the instructions in parentheses, but haven’t a clue as to how to get there. My last Lsc takes me two sc from one of the arms. Do you provide extra guidance for paying customers? I’m a visual learner and agree with those asking for a video. Even illustrations would be helpful.
Thanks exactly what I was looking for I made one for my neighbor… I love how it’s masculine enough if you make it that way or it could go totally feminine also I will be posting a picture I’m trying to figure out how to step in it right now since I don’t have stiffener and I’m not buying any just for this project. I will be adding beads and tassel as I’m giving it as a Bible bookmark.
Do you have a video step by step for the Lacy cross?
Thanks,
Karen
Help please!!! I don’t understand the round 3, maybe my language is spanish, but I love this cross and I want to make it!!! Can you help me with a diagram por video? Thank you!
I love this Cross pattern. But most of all, God Bless You. It is good to see God’s Word on your page. Thank You so much for my blessing!!
This is my favorote cross bookmark I’ve found, but something I’m doing doesn’t match with your instructions when I get to the end of round 1. Any possibility of a video tutorial? That would help me determine wjat I’m doing wrong.
Thank you!
Jodi
Hi Kara, I wasn’t able to resist making this beautiful cross using your pattern. Featured it in my blog and linked back to you at
http://gardenchefsneedleandpen.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-cross.html
Thank you for sharing your pattern.
Happy Easter!
It’s beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing it with me 🙂
Hola como puedo tener el diagrama pues en inglés es muy difícil para mi
Agradecería me enviaran el diagrama a mi correo o en su defecto las instrucciones en español, pero es más fácil el diagrama
Hola como lo puedo tener en español o el diagrama
Agradecería me enviaran el diagrama para piderlo ver pues en inglés es muy difícil para mi
I just finished one of these, and it turned out beautifully. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. It is written very well.
Hope by Easter we can get a Picture Tutorial of where the LSC is going into the points. Love Love Love this Cross.
I’m another one in desperate need of a video tutorial/instructions. I am a self taught still learning somewhat beginner crocheter. I love this this pattern but not sure if I can successfully complete without visual instructions. Sounds like some of us have been over two years for video. Please make one. I love this cross you are very talented.
VIDEO TUTORIAL PLEEEEASE!!
I tried hard but was not successful in following your instructions of the Lacy Cross Crochet Pattern. Your tutorial, be that video or pictures, is so necessary for me and for many others. Please, please do it. Thank you.
I made one to my father. Lovely. Thank you!
This is a very pretty cross. I hope to see a video soon. This should be made and shared . It is a great gift to give as a reminder of our faith. Thank You
I agree, Linda 🙂
Hi, I’m a french woman and I want to made this crochet, but it’s difficult to me to traduce your explications. Do you have a tutorial video or an image with the explications (with cross, rounds, and commun crochet explications) ? Thank you very much !!
Unfortunately, I do not have a video at this time 🙁
Thank you – this is beautiful. I have started to make it this evening (Good Friday) I hope that I will have a finished cross by Easter Day.
Thank you again

Still no video? :/
Hi, I am a retired minister and received many crochet crosses from my parishioners, but not as beautiful as this one. Beautiful work. Pastor Don.
SOO Gorgeous!! I am kind of a new crocheter and don’t quite understand all the stitches and terminology, though. I think you posting a YouTube video of you making this would be very helpful to a lot of people!!
I just finished making one! It was very easy to follow and turned out perfect!! Thank you so much for the pattern.
Yay! So glad you liked it!!
This is a beautiful cross, Kara, but try as I might, I cannot follow the instructions beginning with Round 2. I don’t feel quite as bad after reading the other comments that others are having the same problem. I will follow you on Facebook and look for an announcement when/if you do get a video tutorial for this project. thanks
Hi Becky 🙂 I am sorry you are having trouble. It is definitely one of my goals to make a video on this at some point.
I really like this pattern but i’m having a really tough time after the foundation round “work 1 sc into same ch sp as join, 2 sc in next ch sp”, where exactly am I working th 1st sc? I’m not sure what “same ch as join” means. I appreciate any insight.
Hi Stacie 🙂 you will be working the 1st sc in the same chain space that you joined your last round.
Beautiful! Thank you.
Thank you, Alina!
Hi Kara, I did manage to finish my cross. So happy and thank you for this pattern. I did want to ask do you stiffen the cross with anything? Mine are kind of flimsy. If you do stiffen them could you please share what to do? I remember doilies being stiff years ago but never crocheted with the string before so new to me. Thank you again. God Bless
So glad you finished it! I do stiffen mine with Stiffy fabric stiffener in much the same way as I show here in this post: http://www.petalstopicots.com/2011/12/crocheted-star-of-bethlehem-ornament/
Hope that helps!
Love this pattern! i have made several of them and even make some that are two colors.I havent tried the beads yet as im not sure where exactly to put them. For the two colored ones do one color in starting ring, foundation round, and in the 3rd round, do the other color in rounds 1 & 2.
I absolutely love this. However I am new to crocheting and so not understand the patterns directions from round 2. Is it possible for you to make a video clip of how that is done vs a video of the entire cross. I’m infamiliar with LSC and other tutorials explain it but nothing that corresponds to this pattern 🙁
I am so glad you like it! Yes, I hope to have a video tutorial on this soon.
This is so beautiful! I did one in the size and with the hook you recommended. Then I followed it up with one made with worsted weight yarn and an 3.75 mm hook. It turned out amazing. Dimensions were as follows: 11 1/2″ long X 9 1/2″ wide
anyone that can do this is amazing to me! First of all the directions are written in some foreign language that is not even spoken on this planet, then some people actually come out with the beautiful results?
Just lets me know there are some aliens on the planet crocheting crosses for us- this is good to know!
Hermoso trabajo, personalmente soy fan del crochet.Tiene mucho tiempo que estoy buscando una Cruz se acerca la primera comunion de mi hijo y deseo realizar esta hermosa obra de vos. Pero me he detenido en la segunda ronda. No teneis grafico. Saludos y todo lo que realizais esta hermoso. Bendiciones.
My synagogue shares space with the church and I see the prayer books for the church and want so badly to crochet this beautiful cross – and slip the finished piece into one of their books.
Alas, my crocheting isn’t very good and don’t know about following the directions.
For now, from my heart to each of you and yours, Sweet Pesach and Blessed Easter.
What a nice thought, Marl! Sweet Pesach and Blessed Easter to you 🙂
Alas, the ‘nice thought’ doesn’t get the crosses into the hymnals.
Felices Pascuas y que la gracia de Dios te acompañen siempre. Desde Argentina te saludo cordialmente. Lina
Lina, No rush Navidad! En primer lugar tenemos que pasar por Pascua y Pascua y unos cuantos otros días festivos. Bienvenido – desde el sur de California.
I’m pretty sure the online translation might not make sense to you.
Have you been crocheting for a long time?
Siiiiiiii Pascua, debe haber problema con la traduccion. Para mis c. Sldosreencias es una fecha importante y no la confundo con la Navidad. Saludos
🙂
pero nos entendemos igual ……….bssssssssssssss
Yes, for over 30 years 🙂
🙂
Made 7 of the crosses(I knew when I took them to church,my friends would want them) and the collection box looked good that Sunday.
I just found your blog a couple of days ago. So thrilled to do so. I made the lace cross. I will be making more to hand out to family and friends. I will also be making the star of Bethlehem ornament. Thank you for the patterns. I’m sure you have more that I will be making.
That makes me so happy to hear, Tammi! So glad you are enjoying them 🙂
That makes me so happy to hear, Tammi! So glad you enjoy them 🙂
Just checking in to see if you do have a tutorial or picture tutorial. Love this but just not sure on round 2.
Thanks for the beautiful pattern. Never used thread before so maybe I should try bigger hook and cotton
To see if that makes a difference.
I don’t have one yet. Sorry 🙁
this pattern is not written right or I am just stupid but the amount of stitches etc are not coming out right for me, I am sorry, I tried 🙁 love the way this cross came out for you wish I could do it
I am sorry you are having trouble, Anita 🙁 I am hoping to make a video tutorial on this so hopefully that will be Able to help.
I need help, I don’t understand what you mean by ch sp, are you referring to the next stitch? I tried following your directions and it did not come out to look anything like a cross in the first row, any help is appreciated please and thank you
Hi Anna 🙂 Ch sp stands for chain space, not the next stitch. Hope that helps!
Aw I absolutely love this!! So dainty and beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing!
My pleasure, Lauren. So glad you like it 🙂
I would love to make these for aunts and a few of their special friends. I am unfamiliar with the stitches. Did you ever make a video?
Does it take a long time to make?
I REALLY want to learn to make these. Any assistance would be appreciated. Plus if you could email me directly that would be great since I travel more than am home which is why making these would be a great distraction 🙂
can you explain what long single crochet is as Icant seem to fathom it out
A long single crochet is worked over the row directly below and into the stitches two rows below.
It’s also called a spike stitch. You can Google it or look on YouTube for a video instruction. That’s what I did.
Thank goodness it’s crochet. When I saw “lacy”, I assumed tatting and I’m just starting out on that craft. These would be great (and thrifty) as gifties any time during the year! Oh, I’m a new subscriber, too. :O)
Hi! I love this pattern and beautiful cross! I tried it yesterday w/ a 4mm hook and thread (the smallest I had) and I love how it turned out. Going to get a 2mm hook and smaller thread today. 1 question – what do you mean at the end when you say, “For best results, I recommend blocking these crosses.” Thank you for the clarification! 🙂 God Bless!!
Hi Rebecca 🙂 Sometimes when working with lace your piece can get floppy and not so neat looking. Blocking is a way to help shape your piece. To block, I pin it into place and either spray with water and let dry, or sometimes even use a fabric stiffener. You can see my post here for an example: http://www.petalstopicots.com/2011/12/crocheted-star-of-bethlehem-ornament.html
I love this pattern so beautiful. My granddaughter is getting married in November of this year and I have started so many crochet items for her shower. But this will be at the top of my list I am sure she will keep it forever. thank you for the final piece that will make me happy to have done this for her..
That makes me so happy to hear, Suzy! I hope she loves it 🙂
me gustaria, si podes mandarme el esquema, es la forma mas facil para hacer un tejido y mas la Cruz Gracias
Thanks for sharing this. Have had an odd day as been seen by doc who is worried about a large fast growingg lump on my back, so now being passed to a surgeon very quickly. Also this evening my house is on a flood risk alert. Seeing this post pop up I believe is no coincince and I am very pleased to come across it. I will make the cross and keep it with me – Thanks xx
love this cross!! do you have a youtube channel? thank you
Thanks so much, Emilia! I only have 1 video so far … you can find it here: http://www.petalstopicots.com/learn-to-crochet/videos/
I must be the only person who can read the bible …
I responded to you via your email.
Maybe your picture could be changed to the Hebrew bible section: Psalms / Proverbs, for instance.
Thank you for responding – much appreciated.
Since my synagogue has deep connections sharing space in a church, I thought it would be nice to crochet lacy crosses to add into their bibles the church leaves in the pews.
I found your site and thought ‘how nice this cross would be for the church in which my synagogue holds services and shares space.’
But, have changed my mind — the showing of anti-Semitism in the bible picture continues to spread hatred.
I’ll work on something else for the church.
Hi Marl 🙂 I am sorry this has offended you. I have been over and over the post a dozen times and can’t figure out or find anything that I believe would be anti-Semitic or offensive.
Haters gonna hate and be rude. Thanks for the pattern!
It’s not hating. It’s just some of the other religions don’t pray to anyone or anything else but God. Jesus was looked upon as a teacher. They don’t look at him as God or Gods son. Muslims call him a Prophet. One who teaches from the words of God. God has many names. Religion should not teach hate. A Muslim can not be a Muslim unless he believes in Jesus. Jesus did not teach hating or to fear other people. Fear only God. Only God can judge.
Hi, I love the pattern, but like a bunch of others, I am stuck at round 2. I saw that you were going to try and make a video of this pattern, is one available? Or even different step by step pictures?
Love your cross but hung up on round 2.
Do you have a video on this pattern? Would love to share this with the women who crochet at church.
Hi Jean 🙂 I am sorry you are having trouble. I am hoping to get a video up at some point.
Oh please do. I would love to make this still 🙂
I will try 🙂
While I, too, wish to thank you for sharing so many of your beautiful designs, AND their patterns, I would like to go one step further and congratulate you in your diligence in following up on your website and taking the time to respond to so many of your fans. Especially when they are not asking for clarification. I am sure that kind gesture on your part is appreciated by many. Thank you
It is absolutely my pleasure 🙂 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment! You made my day 🙂
My first attempt was pretty but not perfect, I love the pattern and definitely will be making a few more now that I understand my mistake. Thanks for the pattern 🙂
My pleasure, Jessica! Hope the you are happier with the next try 🙂
Hi, I really like this cross and want to make it but I’m having a really hard time reading the pattern.. Is there a video on how to make this cross? Thanks…
Unfortunately I do not 🙁
It worked!! Thanks so much! God Bless!!!
Yay! God bless you too 🙂
The cross is what I have been looking for. Want to make some for friends that have lost a spouse. Also for some women that have been displaced by the West, Texas explosion.
The problem I have is that I cannot get it to print. Any hints??
Thanks and God Bless!
Hi Joan 🙂 So glad you like it! I just saved it as a pdf and sent it to your email. Hope that helps.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful project. This Lacy Cross was the perfect pattern for this Holy Week. I’m experienced at crochet and I only had minor misunderstanding of the instructions, never having worked a long single crochet. After creating 10 Lacy Crosses I have a better understanding. I can now make one in 2 hours while sending prayers and Blessing to the person I’m making it for. This was the perfect project for my road trip this Easter. I will blog a link and some pictures. Thanks again….Blessing Carole

I am so glad you like it! God bless!
I LOVE this! I will make several to take to the shut-ins I visit from my church family, and also as gifts for others I know who would like to have one. You are so kind to share your patterns and I appreciate it. (Brenda from Memphis TN)
I am so glad you like it, Brenda! And it makes me so happy to know what you are using them for 🙂 Thank you so much for the sweet comment. God Bless!
just found your page and love the work you do.have been looking for a new pattern for a cross and yours is perfect.my 12 year old grand daughter says she needs one. thanks for sharing
your lovey work.i have been crocheting for 63 years. rena
I’ve been looking for patterns to crochet with fabric – love love love the nesting bowls – cutting fabric as we speak, almost. Then thanks be to God came across your pattern for the beautiful cross can not wait to pull out thread and hook! Was asked to work with a few retired Sisters who want to keep busy and send pretties to the missisons in Haiti. Crocheted fabric placemats yesterday, working on bowls today, cross tonight. If the Sisters don’t like these I sure do and am having a wonderful time. Thank you and God’s rich blessings to you and yours. Linda
Hi Linda! I am so happy that you like it 🙂 And what a blessing to me to know it will be used for such great work. Thank you for taking the time to leave a sweet comment! God bless 🙂
Glad you like it, Rena! And hope your granddaughter does too 🙂
This cross is so pretty! I hope I can make it. Just learning to crochet. I, too, paused at round 2. Maybe your answer will get me going again. Will certainly share the blog with my friend/teacher.
Let me know if you need any help!
For some reason I am getting really hung up on round 2. I’m just not sure that I am understanding correctly what I am supposed to do after the ch-5 sp on the points. Can you please clarify? Am I supposed to have one side of the point in sc and the other side in lsc? Thanks!!!
Yes, that’s right … since in the previous round you worked sc down one side of the chain, in this round you are going to work sc up the unworked side of the chain and long single crochets over the single crochets from the previous round. This way, both sides will look balanced. Hope this helps! If not, definitely come back and ask 🙂
So Lovely! Thank-you for sharing!
It is my pleasure! I am happy you like it 🙂
Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern and the text – I think I will be making a few of these for gifts, you quite made my day. Chorister St. George’s Church Choir, Stockport England

Beautiful Here is my Sundae Scoop post: http://likemamalikedaughter.blogspot.com/2012/04/bell-bottom-baby.html
BEEN LOOKING FOR A CROSS PATTERN TO MAKE FOR MY CHURCH GROUP AND SENIOR CENTER. MANY THANKS
You are very welcome!! I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for the sweet note 🙂
I am wondering how and where you added the beads to the crosses in your other pictures…
Hi Sally 🙂 To make one with beads, make sure to string all the beads on your thread before you start crocheting. Then when you reach the point where you would want a bead, move one up to next to your hook and work your stitch around it. The bead will show up on the opposite side of your work. Hope that helps!
Lovely!
Pitty I only work with graphic.
Hug and Happy Easter !
Anna
Thank you so much, Anna! I wish I had the software to do symbol patterns. There are so many times when I think it would be so much easier to understand than when written.
There are a few free crochet pattern apps. Look for one in an App Store.
Beautiful. Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing this pattern.
You are very welcome! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Hi! I love the look of this crochet cross, unfortunately i’m stuck in the first chain 5 space of R3 I can’t seem to get the whole thing right my first side of the cross is unbalanced. Do you have a tutorial of this that I can follow? I guess I’m more of a visual learner
New to your Blog. Thank you for the beautiful cross pattern.
Is there any way you could do a picture tutorial .
