The crochet box stitch is like the waltz of crochet stitches. It's pretty, elegant, and takes a little more skill to perfect technically. This stitch is a really sweet way to add texture and different design elements to any crochet piece. The really fun part about this technique is that it's pretty easy to change colors and you move, making it an ideal choice for quilts.
For this technique, you should be familiar with the chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, treble/double crochet and front post stitches.
