When I learned the spiked boxes crochet stitch, I worked it in rows and noticed how it made a sort of herringbone pattern with the stitches that I was absolutely in love with. This coaster pattern is the gauge swatch from the Brookside Collection which I posted for free on my blog here with a supplemental video tutorial so that you can practice this fun stitch pattern!

You haven’t heard of the spiked boxes stitch? I hadn’t either! In the pattern, I break the stitch pattern down to its individual stitches: the half-double crochet decrease and the spiked double crochet -- with full photo and video tutorials for those individual stitches. I also made a full video detailing how to work the pattern, which shows exactly how those stitches go together to make the spiked boxes stitch pattern. All of it in one place, with links taking you to those outside videos.
