Crochet Basics: Learning the V-Stitch
Sep 22, 2020 06:48 AM
The traditional crochet V-stitch is aptly named because it looks like a “V”. It’s a great stitch for crocheters of all skill levels and works well in lots of projects like blankets and scarves. The stitch is worked with just the chain and double crochet so it’s easy to master and it works up quickly. While there are different ways to crochet this stitch, I’d like to walk you through the most common version - the double crochet V-stitch.
Take your time and practice until you have confidence in your crocheting this stitch. I hope you find this tutorial helpful in learning a unique crochet stitch. Let me know your thoughts.
Follow the instructions in photo tutorial for a visual guide to learning this crochet stitch.
Start by crocheting the foundation chain. Yarn over and work a double crochet into the fourth chain stitch from the hook. (picture 1)
Yarn over and work a double crochet into the 5th chain from hook. (pictures 2-3)
Skip the next chain, and then work a double crochet stitch into the next chain stitch. This is the first half of the V-Stitch and the chain that separates it at the top. (picture 4)
Work another double crochet stitch into the same stitch where you worked the last one.
This completes the first V-Stitch. (picture 5)
Chain 3, turn, V-Stitch in space between V-stitch of previous row, repeat across (picture 6)
Double crochet in top of chain 3 (picture 7).
Each new V-stitch should work into the middle of the V-stitch in the row below.
You should place your hook in the space between the V, rather than into the chain stitch. Continue working a V-stitch into each V-stitch across the row, then end the row as before.
Now you know how to crochet the most common form of the V-stitch! Take your time and practice until you have confidence in your crocheting this stitch.
