Not sure if the V stands for Very-pretty, but it certainly is! The V-stitch is a simple but beautiful stitch and is often used for blankets, hats and shawls. The abbreviation is V-ST<\/strong> in most patterns. The stitch might look complex, but it’s super easy to make. In the tutorial below, I will show you step by step how to make the V-stitch<\/strong>. So watch, learn and let\u2019s create together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V-stitch: the basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are different ways to crochet the V-stitch. The most common version is worked with (1 DC, 1 ch, 1 DC) into the same stitch. Other options would be with HDC or SC or 2 chains instead of 1. Each pattern will tell you which version of the V-stitch you’ll have to make. If nothing is mentioned, you can assume it’s the basic V-stitch which I’ll show you in this tutorial. Enjoy, and before you know, you will be an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
