Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a written tutorial with photos on how to make the Great Arches Stitch!
First, with any project you'll need a crochet hook and yarn. Any yarn or hook will do for learning this stitch
For this tutorial you'll need to know how to make Chains (CH), I have a tutorial here! How to make the Single Crochet Stitch (SC), tutorial here! How to make the Double Crochet Stitch (DC), tutorial here! How to make the Triple Crochet Stitch (TR), tutorial here! How to make the Half Double Crochet V Stitch (HDC V), tutorial here! And how to make the Double Crochet Shell Stitch, tutorial here!
Starting from the beginning, make chains in the multiple of 10 + 2

Row 1: Make 1 SC into the 2nd CH from your hook
*Skip 4 CHs, make 5 DC into the next CH
CH 1
Make 5 DC into the same CH as the 5 DC you just made
So all together that's: 5 DC, CH 1, 5 DC into that CH
Skip 4 CHs, make 1 HDC V into the next CH
Repeat the steps above from * until you only have 5 CHs left
Skip 4 CHs, make 1 SC into the last CH to complete this row
Row 2: CH 6
*Skip to next previous CH 1 space
Make 1 SC, CH 4, 1 SC into that space
Skip to next HDC V ST space
Make 1 TR, CH 2, 1 TR into that space
Repeat the steps above from * until you run out of previous CH spaces
Make 1 TR into the last ST to complete this row
Row 3: CH 1
Make 1 SC into the 1st ST
*Into next previous CH space
Make 5 DC, CH 1, 5 DC into that space
Into next previous CH space
Make 1 HDC V ST into that space
Repeat the steps above from * until you only have some CHs left
Make 1 SC into those last CHs to complete this row
You would now alternate between Rows 2 & 3 for however long you want your project
This is what the Great Arches Stitch should look like when completed!
