You’re going to love how quickly this stitch works up! The end result of this combination of stitches is an openwork fabric that has a bit of stretch to it.

Materials

• Caron x Pantone yarn by Yarnspirations 
• 5.5 mm crochet hook

Instructions

To begin, make a slip knot and then chain your desired number of chains. For this stitch pattern you will need a multiple of three (3) stitches.

For my swatch I will be making a foundation chain of 21 stitches.

Row One:

Begin by skipping the first 3 chains and into the next chain, work a v-stitch. To work your v-stitch, work one double crochet, chain 1, double crochet all into the next stitch. Skip the next two chains and v-stitch into the next chain. Repeat that last step (sk 2, v-stitch in the next) all the way across to your final two chain stitch. Skip the next chain st and double crochet in the final stitch. Chain two and turn your work.

Row Two:

Skip the first double crochet stitch. Around the post of the next stitch, work one front post double crochet stitch.

To work the front post double crochet stitch, yarn over, bring your hook in front of your work and insert your hook around the post of the next stitch inserting your hook from right to left, yarn over and draw up a loop. Yarn over and draw through two loops. Yarn over and draw through the final two loops on your hook. Front post double crochet stitch is now made.

Chain 1, work a front post double crochet stitch around each of the next 2 stitches. Chain 1, front post double crochet around the next two stitches. Repeat this all the way across and work a double crochet in your final stitch. Chain 2 and turn your work.

Row Three:

Skipping the first two double crochet stitches, work on v-stitch into the next chain one space. Skip the next 2 double crochet stitches and work a v-stitch in the next chain one space. Repeat this all the way across and finish the row with a double crochet in the final stitch. Chain 2 and turn your work.

And that’s it! For the rest of the pattern you are simply going to repeat rows two (2) and three (3) for as long as you would like the pattern to continue. Fasten off, weave in your ends and enjoy!
