V Stitch Crochet Pattern.
A Variation Of A Basic Mesh.
The V stitch crochet pattern is a very simple stitch - named for the
way the stitches appear in a 'V'. It is most effective worked in or even a longer stitch.
The longer the stitch the more open and flexible the pattern will be. The shorter the stitch, the closer and firmer the fabric. Chain stitch (ch) is the only other stitch you need to know to work this pattern.
Start by working a chain in multiples of 3 stitches, plus an extra 2. So - if you want a row of 12 stitches total - you need to work 14 chains.
- Turn, chain 1, half double crochet in 3rd chain from hook
(not counting the loop already on the hook), chain 1, half double crochet
into same chain as first hdc, *skip 2 chains, (hdc, ch1, hdc) into next chain*. Repeat from * to * ending with (hdc, ch1, hdc)
into last stitch.
- Turn, chain 1, *(hdc, ch1, hdc) into chain 1 space*. Repeat from * to * to end of row.
- Repeat row 2.
If you'd prefer to work the v stitch crochet pattern in double crochet stitch, just substitute each hdc for dc.
Then the pattern would look like this... - Turn, chain 1, double crochet in 3rd chain from hook
(not counting the loop already on the hook), chain 1, double crochet
into same chain as first dc, *skip 2 chains, (dc, ch1, dc) into next chain*. Repeat from * to * ending with (dc, ch1, dc)
into last stitch.
- Turn, chain 1, *(dc, ch1, dc) into chain 1 space*. Repeat from * to * to end of row.
- Repeat row 2.
The v stitch crochet pattern can be worked in single crochet too, but the 'V' doesn't show up so well with such a short stitch. Still, if
you want a closely worked fabric - it's a little variation on the basic
single crochet fabric.
Use the v stitch crochet pattern for a scarf, a summer sweater,
wrap or poncho. Basic shapes which drape work well with this design.
Congratulations! That's another stitch under your belt. Bet you can't wait to learn the next one...
Try the fun and funky loop stitch!
