There are a lot of wonderful people here, with all levels of experience. I'm sure someone will come to your rescue. I'm interested in knowing what the celtic stitch is.

i love finding new crochet stitches but have never seen one called a 'celtic stitch', so i started looking. sorry to say i did not find a particular stitch, but found quite a few items called 'celtic' this or that. i did find a nice pattern for a Celtic Weave Blanket though. you can see the photo of it on Pattern-Paradise.com, hope this helps.
Celtic Weave Blanket
Materials & Gauge:
You can use any size or type of yarn, choose a hook that is appropriate for your yarn. I used Red Heart Soft yarn and a US H/5.00mm hook for my memory blanket.
Abbreviations:
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
BPtc – back post treble crochet – Yarn over 2 times, insert hook from back to front to back around the post of the stitch in previous row, yarn over and pull up loop (4 loops on hook), [yarn over, pull through two loops] 3 times.
FPtc – front post treble crochet – Yarn over 2 times, insert hook from front to back to front around the post of the stitch in previous row, yarn over and pull up loop (4 loops on hook), [yarn over, pull through two loops] 3 times.
I use what I call a Beginning dc to start each row. This is a modified dc and makes a sturdy, straight beginning stitch that doesn't gap like a chain 3 would.
To make a Beginning dc:

Body of Blanket:
Row 1: Start with a chain in a multiple of 4 and then add 3 chains, sc in 2nd chain from hook and each remaining chain (you should have an even number of stitches), turn.
Row 2: Beginning dc, *skip 2, FPtc in next 2 stitches, crossing in front of two FPtc just made, work FPtc in two skipped stitches*. Repeat between * to end, dc in last stitch, turn.
Row 3: Working from the back of your work, Beginning dc, BPtc first 2 stitches, *skip 2, BPtc next 2 stitches, crossing behind the last two BPtc made, BPtc in two skipped stitches*. Repeat between * to last 3 stitches. Work BPtc in next two stitches, dc in last stitch, turn.
Row 4: Beginning dc, *skip 2, FPtc in next 2, crossing in front of two FPtc just made, work FPtc in two skipped stitches*. Repeat between * to end, dc in last stitch, turn.
Repeat Rows 3 and 4 until blanket measures desired length, ending with Row 4.
Border:
Round 1: *Chain 1, work 3 sc in corner, work sc evenly across side to next corner*; repeat between * to end, join with sl st to beg sc. Note: Be sure your stitch count between the center corner stitches is divisible by 6 + 1 extra stitch (example: 19, 31, 37, 43, etc)
Round 2: Chain 1, sc in same stitch, [*7dc in next stitch (this should be the center stitch of the corner), *sc in next stitch, skip 2, 5dc in next stitch, skip 2*; repeat between * to stitch before the corner, sc in stitch before the corner]; repeat between [ and ] to end, join with slip stitch to beginning sc. Fasten off.
Weave in ends.

Just an aside for cheri54 - It is best to link the site for a pattern, unless it's your own. I know this is a free pattern, but it's crochet business etiquette that patterns aren't reproduced. Thanks!

Hi, his is my first post. I have been crafting since I was 13. Then is was introduced to crocheting by my Aunt. Then I continued to crochet and then was taught to knit by a friend. Then just kept advancing from there. I love to learn different stitches. Since I got my iPad two years ago for Xmas I have been watching all the teaching videos out there. So much to still learn. Thanks for all these videos and tutorials.
