Repeat Step 3 until you have the desired number of crosses.
Slip stitch to join to the top of the first cross. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Variations on the Cross Stitch

There are many different ways to vary the cross stitch to create different looks. Here are a few ideas:

Change the number of stitches in the chain between the crosses. This will change the size of the crosses.
Use different colors of yarn for the crosses and the background. This will create a more colorful and textured look.
Add embellishments to the crosses, such as beads or sequins. This will add a touch of sparkle and glamour.

Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble crocheting the cross stitch, here are a few tips:

Make sure you're counting your stitches correctly. It's easy to get lost when you're working on a repetitive pattern, but it's important to keep track of your stitches so that your cross stitch turns out evenly.
Don't pull the yarn too tightly. This will make your stitches too tight and the cross stitch will be stiff and difficult to work with.
If you're having trouble getting the crosses to line up evenly, try using a stitch marker to mark the center of each cross. This will help you keep track of where you are in the pattern.

The crochet cross is a beautiful and versatile stitch that can be used in a variety of projects. It's a great stitch for beginners to learn, as it's relatively easy to master and can be customized to create a variety of looks. With a little practice, you'll be able to crochet beautiful cross stitch patterns in no time!
